All three trims of the Chevrolet Impala feature front-wheel drive unlike the Chrysler 300 that features rear-wheel drive and has an AWD system as an option. Yes, you'll have to pay extra to get it but the good news is you'll be conserving fuel since the Chrysler-engineered AWD system comes with an axle-disconnect function.
An interesting fact that not that many people know is that many of the Chrysler 300 mechanical components were actually derived from the old Mercedes-Benz E-Class, so expect the Chrysler 300 to deliver more of a luxurious ride.Â
What about the Chevy Impala? It handles the road quite well, too. It soaks up the street like a genuine luxury sedan. This is a big plus for the folks who will be taking a lot of road trips. Some people go as far as to say that the car is big enough to seat professional NBA players.
It's a shame though, that the interior of the Impala looks and feels cheap. This is where the Chrysler 300 offers a bit more luxury than its competitors, especially the Chrysler 300 higher trim levels. Featuring heated/ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, the Chrysler 300 Limited has the feel of a premium luxury car.Â
