Proposed 2025 Chevy Impala Revival Is Sensible Enough to Put Into Production Immediately

Sure, anyone can second guess the fact that EV sales are not soaring as fast as a few months ago. Maybe folks are just waiting to see what new models are coming to market – like the quirky Tesla Cybertruck or the affordable Volvo EX30 – before paying their hard-earned cash. And speaking of the latter, electric vehicles are not exactly getting any cheaper, especially if you're in the market for larger models like the Kia EV9 or the upcoming Ram 1500 REV.

As such, maybe it's time for automakers to rethink their strategies that are currently highly reliant on CUVs, SUVs, and trucks (even EV ones) instead of passenger vehicles. No worries, the rumor mill is always ready to give a helping hand – and even a CGI brush stroke if we also consider the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. For example, many of them wonder what is coming after the 2024 model year when Chevrolet will end production of the beloved-yet-slow-selling Camaro nameplate.

And many think that General Motors should allow Chevy to compete with the Asian automakers once again in the field of affordable sedans. Some dream of the days when the compact Cruze returns alongside the $25k Malibu mid-size saloon to ensure that anyone can access a sensible four-door sedan. On the other hand, others only have eyes for the once-popular Chevy Impala full-size nameplate.

The latter was sent into retirement after serving the American automotive market since 1958 – the tenth generation was an unremarkable sedan that ended production in 2020. However unlikely you see a model's comeback just a few years later, remember how Toyota decided around three years ago the Land Cruiser was not welcomed in North America anymore, and now they can't wait to start sales of the 2024 Land Cruiser!

It turns out that across the parallel universe of vehicular CGI, the hype around this particular revival is so big that the good folks from the Rcars channel on YouTube have once again imagined the potential return of the full-size Chevy Impala sedan. Probably, their resident pixel master thought the first version was too futuristic for the traditional Impala buyer, so now he or she is back with another AI-assisted take on the matter.

This time, the proposed 2025 Chevy Impala revival looks sensible enough to immediately put into production on a stretched version of Malibu's not-so-old E2XX platform. Now, if you are wondering why on Earth would Chevrolet bring back the Impala looking like an affordable muscle sedan, remember that Dodge is abandoning the niche as its next-gen Charger returns to the two-door coupe lifestyle – with Hurricane and Banshee EV powertrains under the hood.
