1994 Chevrolet Impala SS
Body style(s): 4-door sedan

Trim Levels: base
MSRP range: $21,920

Notes: The Impala SS entered the Chevrolet Caprice family for 1994, the first use of the nameplate since 1985 (and the first Impala SS since the 1960s). The Impala SS was a performance derivative of Chevrolet's B-body full-size sedan. The vehicle was equipped with 4-wheel vented disc brakes, a performance/handling suspension with a higher axle ratio and limited-slip differential, quicker-ratio power steering, and larger wheels. Visually, the Impala SS was distinguished by its black exterior (no other colors were available for 1994), IMPALA SS logo on the rear quarter panels, the Impala logo on a rear quarter-window inset, and a unique grille. Dual exhausts were provided.
