What is the last year Chevy made the Impala?
The last year Chevrolet produced the Impala for the U.S. market was the 2020 model year.
Chevrolet confirmed that the Impala would be discontinued after the 2020 model year as part of a broader shift by General Motors away from sedans toward SUVs and pickups. The Impala had a long history in Chevrolet’s lineup, dating back to the late 1950s, but changes in consumer demand and profitability ultimately ended its production after 62 years in North America.
Timeline and factors behind the decision
Key milestones and factors behind the decision can be summarized as follows:
- GM publicly announced that the Impala would be discontinued after the 2020 model year as part of a broader trim-down of Chevrolet’s car lineup.
- The 2020 Impala served as the final model year, with production wrapping up in early 2020 as factories shifted toward SUVs, crossovers, and trucks.
- The discontinuation reflected a wider industry trend away from traditional full-size sedans in favor of higher-margin sport-utility vehicles and pickup trucks.
- Chevrolet officially ended production of the Impala across North America, marking the end of the nameplate’s long run in the brand’s core lineup.
In summary, the 2020 model year stands as the last year for the Chevrolet Impala in production, with no new Impalas produced after that point and the nameplate remaining part of automotive history rather than current Chevrolet sales.
What this means for fans and collectors
For enthusiasts and collectors, the end of production means that any Impalas available today are pre-owned or preserved in collections. While some late-model examples may command strong interest due to their final-year status or condition, the Impala’s place in the market shifted from a common large sedan to a sought-after classic in the used-car landscape.
Summary
The Chevrolet Impala’s run as a current-production model ended with the 2020 model year. Since then, GM has prioritized SUVs and trucks, and no new Impala models have been produced. The end of the Impala marks the consolidation of Chevrolet’s sedan lineup and a broader industry move away from large, traditional sedans.
