The 2005 Chevrolet Impala, a full-size sedan, marked a significant step in the evolution of this iconic nameplate. After a brief hiatus, the Impala returned in 2000, built on the new W-body platform, and the 2005 model year saw a mid-cycle refresh. This refresh brought about a more modern and refined look, with revised front and rear fascias, updated interior trim, and new wheel designs. The Impala's exterior was characterized by its large grille, swept-back headlights, and prominent hood, while the interior offered a spacious cabin with comfortable seating for five adults. The 2005 Impala was available in three trim levels: LS, LT, and SS. The LS served as the entry-level model, while the LT provided additional features like alloy wheels and power accessories. The top-of-the-line SS, powered by a 303-horsepower V8 engine, offered a sporty and performance-oriented driving experience.

Under the hood, the 2005 Impala offered a choice of two engines. The standard engine was a 3.4-liter V6, producing 190 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine, available on the SS trim, was a 5.3-liter V8, generating a powerful 303 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The 2005 Impala, with its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and available V8 power, aimed to provide a compelling value proposition in the full-size sedan segment. It offered a blend of practicality, comfort, and performance, appealing to families and drivers seeking a spacious and well-equipped vehicle. The 2005 Impala also incorporated various safety features, including anti-lock brakes, traction control, and multiple airbags, further enhancing its overall appeal.
