EXTERIOR
On the bring upward end, at that spot is a trunk-mounted spoiler as well as a laid of relatively unimposing taillights that actually scream “family car.” We definitely would receive got preferred Chevy to deliver a sharper laid of taillights. The SS Performance redeems itself for the tedious taillights alongside a sharp-looking bumper insert alongside the pair of tailpipes poking out of the rear.
Overall, the SS Performance’s body is sharp, but inwards no way a stunner. We think GM did a amend labor alongside the G8 – GM’s predecessor to the SS – equally this looks similar a regular one-time sedan for the most part. One of our favorite parts of the exterior – probable the only affair that actually pops on the machine – is its perfect 50/50weight distribution.
INTERIOR

An integrated middle stack includes infotainment, climate as well as other vehicle controls, spell the middle console of the SS houses extra-large dual loving cup holders that tin accommodate a broad hit of container sizes. The loving cup holders are non separated, so the infinite tin also live used for modest item storage. Fold-out bring upward loving cup holders are also located at the base of operations of the middle bring upward seating position. In addition, all 4 doors comprise loving cup holders. An electrical common brake frees upward additional infinite inwards the middle console.
Two auxiliary powerfulness outlets allow concurrent charging of items such equally mobile phones, tablets as well as portable satellite navigation devices. One is located within the covered key storage console; the other outlet is conveniently accessible inwards the forwards compartment at the base of operations of the musical instrument panel, which is illuminated at nighttime past times ambient Ice Blue lighting.

FEATURES
The 2014 Chevrolet SS is a niche performance sedan, as well as smartly, Chevy has decided non to offering it inwards alongside a long listing of trims, options, as well as packages.

Only individualists powerfulness complain at the lack of construct variations; as well as for them we're told there's a pretty important listing of dealer-installed options on the way.
ENGINE
Now onto the sweetest role nigh this ride, the engine as well as drivetrain. Initially, nosotros idea that the SS Performance would only live moderately powerful as well as characteristic the 6.0-liter V8 constitute inwards the last-gen Commodore SS, which pumps out 348 horsepower. Well, Chevy upped the ante past times installing the LS3 6.2-liter V8 – the same constitute inwards the 2013 Corvette – detuned to 415 horsepower at 5,900 rpm as well as 415 pound-feet of torque at 4,600 rpm. The beastly LS3 links upward to a six-speed automatic transmission alongside TAPshift paddles that delivers the powerfulness to a 3.27-to-1 bring upward axle. This volition launch the four-door musculus machine to sixty mph inwards nigh v seconds – no official issue is available yet.
This puts the SS Performance correct on par alongside the Camaro SS, important that musculus machine lovers alongside a household unit of measurement tin at ane time larn their powerfulness make as well as live able to rationalize it to their important other. Brilliant!! Unfortunately, Chevy did non release whatever mpg specs, but y'all tin aspect it to live roughly fifteen mpg metropolis as well as 24 mpg highway.
PERFORMANCE
The 6.2L LS3 small-block V-8 is the powerfulness behind the SS's driving experience. It is SAE-certified at 415 horsepower (310 kW) as well as 415 lb.-ft. of torque (563 Nm) as well as paired alongside the Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic alongside paddle-shift control. The engine's torque is channeled to the bring upward axle, which has a 3.27 ratio for a corking feeling of performance. Engine crude as well as transmission coolers are standard.
A sport-tuned pause complements the powertrain alongside treatment prowess as well as driving refinement. The front end pause is a MacPherson-strut-based multi-link organisation alongside a direct-acting stabilizer bar. It features a forward-mounted steering rack as well as dual lower links alongside private ball joints at the outer ends. H5N1 hydraulically damped bushing is used on the forwards halt of the tension link for improved ride isolation.
The bring upward pause is a multi-link independent organisation alongside coil-over stupor absorbers as well as decoupled stabilizer bar. It has high lateral stiffness for treatment through 3 lateral ball joints per side alongside improved longitudinal compliance. H5N1 safe isolated pause frame isolates the body from route imperfections as well as drivetrain vibrations. The inclusion of to a greater extent than lightweight aluminum components, including the front end steering knuckle as well as tension arms, delivers tremendous ride as well as treatment characteristics.
Four-wheel disc brakes are criterion as well as characteristic track-capable Brembo front end brakes, alongside four-piston, two-piece aluminum front end calipers as well as large, 14-inch (355 mm) two-piece front end rotors. The aluminum front end calipers supply increased stiffness to trim back fluid displacement as well as caliper deformation without adding weight. The lawsuit is an enhancement to braking experience as well as overall vehicle dynamics.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution optimizes command of bring upward brake pressure level on all route surfaces as well as nether all vehicle loading conditions. Electronic Brake Assist senses how difficult as well as fast a driver hits the brake pedal as well as gives extra braking assistance, if required.
The Chevrolet SS's steering organisation employs a variable-assist electrical powerfulness steering organisation (EPS) that saves fuel past times drawing unloosen energy only when the wheels are turned. The variable-effort pattern provides lighter parking efforts at depression speed as well as greater endeavor at higher speeds, for a to a greater extent than conduct steering feel. The organisation is also calibrated to observe constant driver steering bike charge due to factors such equally route camber as well as crosswind. The organisation volition compensate to trim back steering endeavor to a to a greater extent than neutral score as well as lessen potential driver fatigue...SEE ALL PHOTOS
DRIVETRAIN
What's at that spot to country nigh the LS3 V8 that hasn't been said? It's compact as well as less expensive to construct than overhead cam engines. It's non afraid to rev, as well as it's much amend than acceptably smooth.
Most significantly, it delivers giant wads of torque correct where y'all desire them. In the SS, the transition from role throttle to full-on is sweetly smooth, without no angry reaction from the bring upward end. This machine tolerates bravado or silliness without vengeance. The transmission works for every purpose, live it lazy, comfortable self-shifting, precise, speedy manual performance or something inwards between. The traction/throttle as well as anti-skid electronics introduce a genuine scale inwards the car's reactions, from protective to well, you're on your own, kid. We'd guess that's a credit to the lineament of the evolution drivers as well as engineers GM employs these days.
There in all likelihood isn't an enthusiast driver who would pull the SS's road-going demeanour equally uncomfortable. The performance tires exact a toll inwards damage of rumble as well as chatter, to live sure, but they jibe the SS's intent. The chassis is structurally solid, as well as it isn't sanitized for anyone's comfort or protection. This full-size Chevy is surprisingly calorie-free on its feet, as well as almost never feels big. It's civilized but non desensitized inwards whatever notable fashion.
That may live the biggest affair of all, or the biggest surprise to anyone who remembers the rear-drive Impala SS xviii years agone -- the balance. Balance hither way less specifically weight remainder as well as to a greater extent than the equal, consistent competence of the drivetrain, chassis, as well as overall dynamics. The sensitivity of the SS' steering or its reaction to throttle as well as brake inputs or the consistency of its opposite-corner tire patches don't autumn off dramatically when it reaches the limits of grip. Call it organic or holistic or integrated. Whichever label y'all prefer, it was reserved for BMWs as well as a handful of other sedans when the 1996 Impala SS roamed the earth. Now it comes alongside a large ol' body as well as a bowtie.
ON THE ROAD
The exhaust banknote of the U.S.A. machine is awesome. From the exterior it sounds similar a V8 Supercar; the General Motors parts catalogue volition larn a lot of involvement from Australian fans. The Chevrolet SS has already impressed the locals. Car as well as Driver mag described it equally “the gifted offspring of a BMW M5 as well as a Chevy Camaro SS”. Automobile mag said it volition become “toe-to-toe alongside a US$65,000 BMW 550i”, a machine that costs $160,000 inwards Australia.
The U.S.A. journalists were impressed alongside the handling, something we’ve come upward to convey for granted inwards Australia. It must live said, the machine I drove was a peculiarly fine example. It’s the best Commodore I’ve ever driven, as well as I reckon I’ve driven to a greater extent than than a brace of hundred over the years. And I’ve owned 4 inwards the past times 10 years.
This cherry ane was built tighter than whatever VF Commodore I’ve driven, too. Most cars used on media previews are specially prepared past times the engineering scientific discipline departments of each machine brand. General Motors said some of the cars inwards this grouping were regular client cars that were diverted because of a transportation delay alongside the media evaluation vehicles.
There was no way of knowing whether the ane I drove was a client machine or ane that had gone through a special workshop, but it was brilliant. The steering, the body, the chassis, the brakes all felt tight as well as precise, dissimilar whatever Holden I’ve driven before. It was a revelation. From Palm Springs to Los Angeles -- including my obligatory trip to the Hollywood sign every fourth dimension a Holden gets shipped to North America -- the Chevrolet SS felt similar a European thoroughbred.
COMFORT & QUALITY
The 2014 Chevrolet SS powerfulness live an especially overt performance sedan, but the rather boxy, straightforward pattern has its benefits—in reasonably practiced back-seat space, as well as amend outward visibility than many modern sedan designs.
SS actually measures upward at the long halt of the mid-size scale (195.5 inches long, alongside nearly a 115-inch wheelbase), but at 74.7 inches wide, it feels somewhat narrow for its length—more similar a smaller mid-size machine inwards that respect. It's virtually the same size equally the Cadillac CTS--a machine that's built on a different GM architecture--yet the SS manages to experience a fleck roomier.
Aggressively bolstered leather sport seats are included inwards front, spell the dorsum spot feels roomy plenty for adults--and entry as well as larn out are quite slow for taller passengers, thank y'all to the conservative roofline.
This is the get-go Chevrolet sedan to ride on criterion summertime performance tires--Z-rated at that--but all considering, the SS rides rather quietly, alongside practiced insulation from route as well as air current noise. You listen the engine when you're accelerating--anything from a thrummy bellow at depression rates to a crackling exotic good when accelerating hard--but it's non ever present.
The SS does without a magnetic pause or adjustable dampers, or whatever other special active systems, so it's no surprise that this is a firm-riding sedan. Snow Belt potholes as well as heaves tend to demo equally choppy, if non jarring, from inside...SEE ALL PHOTOS
SAFETY
Standard security equipment on the 2014 Chevrolet SS includes antilock disc brakes, stability- as well as traction-control systems, front- as well as rear-seat side airbags, side-curtain airbags, as well as front-knee airbags. Also criterion is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance as well as turn-by-turn navigation.
Furthermore, the SS comes alongside a criterion multi-mode head-up display as well as rearview camera, along alongside numerous warning systems, including forwards collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring as well as bring upward cross-traffic alerts.
FUEL ECONOMY
The 2014 Chevrolet SS isn't vying for household unit of measurement sedan duty (that's the Malibu or Impala), as well as despite its huge 6.2-liter V-8 it omits fuel-saving engineering similar GM's Active Fuel Management, or engine stop-start. It's blissfully, it seems, a guzzler.
The brilliant side, equally we've noticed from a issue of other vehicles alongside really large-displacement engines, is that y'all probable won't run across much lower than the EPA ratings--even when y'all drive the SS hard. On the other hand, it would require quite the magical tailwind to approach xxx mpg.
In a get-go drive opportunity, our machine was averaging to a greater extent than than xvi mpg on a 65-mile, generally uphill loop, so barely twenty on a 75-mile, generally downhill loop that included some to a greater extent than reserved expressway-and-boulevard driving.
