What does the LT stand for on the Impala?

The "LT" on the Chevrolet Impala stands for "Luxury Touring", which is a trim level designation that indicates a more premium and well-equipped version of the Impala sedan.


Explaining the Impala's Trim Levels


The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size sedan that has been in production since 1958. Over the years, the Impala has been offered in a variety of trim levels to cater to different customer preferences and budgets. The "LT" trim level is one of the more upscale options in the Impala lineup.


Typically, the Impala is available in the following trim levels:



  • LS - The base model, offering essential features and equipment.

  • LT - The "Luxury Touring" trim, adding more premium amenities and a higher level of comfort and convenience.

  • Premier - The top-of-the-line trim, with the most advanced features and highest level of luxury.


The "LT" trim level sits between the base LS and the range-topping Premier, providing a balance of comfort, technology, and style at a mid-range price point.


What Features Come with the Impala LT?


The Impala LT typically includes the following features and upgrades over the base LS model:



  • Upgraded upholstery and interior trim materials

  • Larger alloy wheels

  • Dual-zone automatic climate control

  • Heated front seats

  • Power-adjustable driver's seat

  • Upgraded infotainment system with navigation

  • Bose premium audio system

  • Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert


These features help elevate the Impala LT to a more premium and comfortable driving experience compared to the base model.

What do LS, LT, and LTZ stand for?


In years past (on other vehicles) the monickure LS for instance was an acronym for "Luxury Sport" and LT = "Luxury Touring" but in recent years these acronyms have become diluted with the addition of extra characters such as: “LSi” and “LTZ” which obviously have no meaning.



Which Impala is better, LS or LT?


The LT follows after the LS, offering even better features at a slightly higher MSRP. While these features vary from model to model, you'll notice a more luxurious feel overall. However, the Chevy lineup includes impressive comforts, conveniences, and safety features at every price point.



What is Impala LT?


Chevy Impala Trim Levels
The LS trim level is the base level. It comes with many standard features such as air-conditioning and cruise control. The LT trim is the next step up. This trim offers such standard features as dual-zone climate control, power mirrors and a power adjustable passenger's seat.



Which is better, LT or LTZ Impala?


“LTZ” is an acronym for Luxury Touring Z. LTZ packages cost more than the LT packages, because you'll get an even wider selection of standard features. Amenities like heated power mirrors, a power up/down tailgate, and LED fog lamps are standard.
