GM added stop-start technology to its 2014 Malibu mid-size sedan that improved fuel economy by 14 percent. The technology automatically shuts down the engine, while the vehicle is stopped, and restarts it when the driver takes removes their foot from the brake pedal.

The 2015 Impala goes on sale this summer with a starting price of $27,735 for the four-cylinder LS model and $30,960 for the six-cylinder LT model. The prices include a $825 destination charge.
