2016 SS
CG Says: Chevrolet SS gets revised frontal styling and new hood vents for 2016. There is also a new dual-mode exhaust. The Chevrolet SS is a large, high-performance four-door sedan that comes exclusively with a muscular 415-horsepower V-8 and rear-wheel drive. Mainstream Chevrolet large-car shoppers will choose the front-wheel-drive Impala, but for high-performance enthusiasts who need large-car space, the SS is an intriguing option. Chevrolet offers the SS only in a single high-end trim level with a long list of standard equipment, so the base price is more than $45K. That will restrict sales to a small group of enthusiast buyers.
