Where each one leads
Chevrolet Impala
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Infiniti M37
- Against cars of the same year, the Infiniti M37 comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails 43% less often than average) than the Chevrolet Impala (fails 28% more often than average).
Too close to call: NHTSA overall safety rating; official combined fuel use, Canada (l/100 km).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
