From Chevrolet.com:
When professional basketball players and other big-and-tall customers asked Chevrolet for more space and a more comfortable ride in the all-new 2014 Impala, engineers used the latest high-tech tools – including a spaciousness calculator – to create more leg and head room and larger storage areas.
The tool kit also included advanced computer modeling tools, digital human ergonomics models and 3D Cave Automated Virtual Environment.
Some of the updates made to Chevy’s flagship sedan include:
- Adding nearly two inches of driver legroom by increasing the range of fore/aft adjustment for the front seats;
- A telescoping steering wheel that allows drivers of varying sizes to reach it comfortably;
- Redesigning the center console with a low instrument panel to increase knee spread, which adds comfort on long drives and enhances the sense of roominess while keeping controls within easy reach;
- Expanding rear-seat legroom more than two inches, enabled by the 1.2-inch increased wheelbase and thinner profile front seats;
- Nearly 19 cubic feet of trunk space – ample room for four golf bags and more space than many full-size sedans.
