History of the Impala - The 1980's

Introduction | 1950's | 1960's | 1970's | 1980's | 1990's | 2000 | Production Figures | Insignias


Chevrolet full-size cars in the 1980s became increasingly more sophisticated as new technologies became available. In 1981, Chevrolet introduced Computer Command Control on its full-size cars for improved driveability, and a new four-speed automatic was available with the 350 V8, along with a 26 mpg EPA highway mileage figure.

The Caprice name took over the uplevel position in Chevrolet's full-size passenger car lineup and had been so well-accepted that in 1986, the Impala name was dropped. Impala's hiatus lasted until the mid-'90s, when Chevrolet resurrected the Impala for a very special, limited-production run.
