NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2020 Chevrolet Impala
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size front-wheel-drive sedan that wrapped up its long-running production run with the 2020 model year. Positioned as a spacious, value-oriented alternative to smaller mainstream sedans, it targeted buyers who prioritized interior room and highway comfort. For shoppers considering a used 2019 or 2020 example today, the safety record is a meaningful part of the conversation.
The 2020 Chevrolet Impala earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 90 out of 100, an exceptional result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.

Reviewers generally describe the Impala as a comfortable, roomy full-size sedan that delivers a smooth highway ride and a spacious rear cabin. Most acknowledge that its interior technology and driver-assistance features aged relative to newer competitors by the time it was discontinued, but they tend to regard it as a solid, unpretentious choice for buyers who prioritize passenger space and straightforward operation.
