Which Chevrolet model is named after the impala, a medium-sized African antelope?

The Chevrolet model named after the impala, a medium-sized African antelope, is the Chevrolet Impala.

Chevrolet introduced the Impala for the 1958 model year as a full-size car. Its name came from the impala, an antelope known for its speed and leaping ability. The car initially served as Chevrolet’s top-level full-size passenger model.

The Impala became one of Chevrolet’s best-known nameplates. It was offered in several body styles over different generations, including sedans, convertibles, coupes, and station wagons. The name was also used on performance-oriented versions such as the Impala SS.

The Impala is sometimes confused with the Caprice because both were full-size Chevrolet cars, and some generations shared platforms and styling. However, they were distinct nameplates, with the Impala generally positioned below or alongside the Caprice depending on the era.
