It replaces last year's 3.4-liter overhead-camshaft V-6, which was more sophisticated and generated 215 horsepower.īut the 3.8 is quieter and costs GM less to build. Offered as part of the $500 Sport Performance package for the LTZ is General Motors' proven 3.8-liter, 200-horsepower pushrod V-6. The standard Lumina engine is a 3.1-liter pushrod V-6, which produces 160 horsepower and decent performance-although it works hard during brisk acceleration because the Lumina weighs 3,330 pounds. The big trunk has a flat floor and low, wide opening for easy loading of awkwardly shaped cargo. And outside rearview mirrors are curiously small. But the large, comfortable front seats provide virtually no side support when, say, the car is driven quickly through curves. It's easy to get in and out of the Lumina. There's plenty of room for four tall adults, or for five such occupants on shorter trips.
It looks aerodynamic and has a quiet, nicely designed interior with smooth, easily reached controls. The current-generation Lumina made its debut as a 1995 model. It costs $895 and links the Lumina by phone and satellite to a GM center, where personnel give directions and other assistance and can summon emergency help. Then there's the LTZ, which adds a rear spoiler, color-keyed outside mirrors and sport alloy wheels.Ī key new option is General Motors' OnStar navigation system, which is a good security blanket for a family car.

The LTZ has a $19,745 sticker price.Įven the base Lumina is well-equipped, with items such as automatic transmission, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM radio, power door locks, intermittent wipers and dual outside mirrors with manual control. Prices are reasonable-$17,395 for the base sedan and $19,395 for the higher-line LS. And there is a racier LTZ model with an optional Sport Performance package for those who want a sedan with a sporty edge. New for 1998 are a quieter optional V-6 and more features. Still, the Lumina deserves a harder look by more car buyers because it does everything it is supposed to do. Moreover, the hot-selling Toyota Camry and Honda Accord mid-size sedans outscore the Lumina because it doesn't have their desirable nameplates. The popular Ford Taurus mid-size sedan overshadowed the Lumina when the latter debuted in early 1989, and the Lumina just never caught up to that Ford. And the Chevy Lumina isn't a top contender in the big market for mid-size, front-wheel-drive sedans. But the once-booming market for such sedans is gone.
