Year to Year Changes
1992 Chevrolet Impala:
A larger optional V8 engine became available for Caprice wagons, which came in a single model. Speedometers now read to 100 mph, and a tilt wheel was standard.
1993 Chevrolet Impala:
Rear wheelwells on Caprice sedans lost their "fender-skirt" look, turning instead to rounded wheel openings. Taillamps and rear trim were new, and rear track width grew by 1.6 inches. Both sedans now were known as Caprice Classics, in base or step-up LS trim. A larger (5.7-liter) V8, developing 180 horsepower, went into the performance-oriented LTZ sedan, and was optional in wagons.
1994 Chevrolet Impala:
A passenger-side airbag joined the one on the driver's side. Not one, but two new engines replaced their '93 predecessors: a 4.3-liter V8, and a high-performance 5.7-liter derived from the Corvette's LT1 V8. Later in the model year, an aggressively styled, performance-oriented Impala SS joined up, carrying that toned-down LT1 V8 and police-type suspension. Caprices got a redesigned dashboard with digital speedometer, and an electronic automatic transmission replaced the hydraulically controlled unit.
1995 Chevrolet Impala:
Caprice sedans adopted the rear roof pillar introduced in '94 on the Impala SS. That performance-oriented Impala SS now came in three colors, not just black. Seats were reshaped, foldaway mirrors added.
1996 Chevrolet Impala:
The gearshift lever in the Impala SS moved from the steering column to the console. An analog speedometer replaced the digital unit, and a tachometer was installed. Production of both models halted during 1996.
