2020 Impala Interior
The Impala's cabin is well-designed and is generally quite well put together, however, some hard-touch plastics are prevalent on the dash and center stack, detracting from the overall impression. Nevertheless, the Impala's interior is a pleasant place to spend time - passenger room is plentiful and the seats are spacious, comfortable, and supportive. The layout of the cabin is very ergonomic, thanks to all the available room. Driver controls, passenger controls, and general storage points are all practically set out. But, the aging design is a detractor, and the poor visibility is cause for concern. There may be an abundance of features, but the interior is where the Impala falls well behind its rivals.

Seating and Interior Space
Five fully grown adults will comfortably fit into the commodious cabin of the Impala, overall passenger room is ample throughout and the seats themselves, including the center rear seat, are all spacious and plush. Because of the Impala's cavernous cabin and its large sedan doors, ingress and egress are as effortless as can be. The rear seats deserve particular praise - the space is simply cavernous, with an abundance of head and legroom for all occupants. But from the driver's perch, there's limited visibility, where the Impala's massive dimensions count against it. The seats are comfortable though, suiting both short and long drives.

Interior Colors and Materials
Both of the Impala models are standard-fit with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, and both feature carpeted front and rear floor mats. In the LT, Jet Black premium leatherette/cloth seating upholstery is standard, complemented by Jet Black cabin accents and panel trim. The seats in the Premier are accoutred with Jet Black perforated leather upholstery, also matched by Jet Black cabin elements; in the dashboard is a turquoise-toned chrome strip that runs through to the door panels as well. Faux wood adorns the center console, which can feel cheap and nasty.
2020 Impala Trunk and Cargo Space
Practicality is high in the Impala, thanks to its expansive size; even with so much room dedicated passengers, there's still a cavernous 18.8 cubic feet of cargo room left in the trunk. That's more than what both the Toyota Avalon and the Nissan Maxima offer, with 16.1 cubes offered from the Avalon, and only 14.2 cubes from the Maxima. The Impala's 18.8 cubes are good for two large suitcases and perhaps a couple of carry-on cases as well. The trunk is considerably deep and the rear seats feature 60/40-split foldability, although they don't fold entirely flat.
In-cabin storage solutions are bountiful too. There are large bottle holders on all four doors with small-item storage points, a miniature driver's side cubby, a small center console cubby, a hidden compartment behind the touchscreen, dual cupholders, a large center armrest storage console, and a large passenger-side glove box. In the rear are seatback map pockets on both front seats and dual cup holders in the center rear seat backrest.

2020 Impala Infotainment and Features
Features
As a full-size sedan, the Impala comes fittingly equipped with features that give it a premium air. A remote start system is standard, so those residing in cold-weather states can warm up the sedan while prepping for the day. Keyless entry and ignition make things utterly convenient, and there's a keyless trunk opening touchpad and power trunk release, too. The LT features a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, a tilt/telescoping steering column, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, and a rearview camera. An eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat is standardized in the Premier along with heated front seats, a universal home remote, and ambient in-cabin lighting. Furthermore, driver-assist technologies are augmented with rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-change alert with blind-spot monitoring.
Infotainment
Infotainment is covered admirably in the Impala. An eight-inch touchscreen is standard in both the LT and Premier displaying clear images, and the LT's stock six-speaker sound system delivers decent sound quality. But it's the Premier's 11-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system that truly impresses. Both models are also installed with an AM/FM stereo, and the Premier gets a single-CD player and MP3 playback capability. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration are standard in both models as well, along with SiriusXM radio connectivity, voice-activation, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Bluetooth connectivity, audio streaming, and hands-free smartphone operation. The system is upgraded with a 2D and 3D GPS onboard navigation system in the Premier. There are two USB ports located inside a floor console and one behind the infotainment's touchscreen. The Premier gets a wireless charging pad in the center console.
