Chevrolet Lumina

The Chevrolet Lumina sedan and minivan were introduced in 1989 for the 1990 model year as a new range of vehicles from Chevrolet. Consumers were confused by having two different vehicles (the Lumina sedan and the Lumina APV minivan) share the same name, and the concept was eventually scrapped when the Lumina APV was replaced by the Chevrolet Venture in 1997.

Chevrolet Lumina is also the name of a rebadged version of the Australian Holden Commodore, sold in the Middle East, South Africa and Thailand from 1997. The Chevrolet Lumina Coupe, sold in the Middle East, is a rebadged Holden Monaro, a coupe version of the Commodore.

1990

The Lumina was a replacement for the Chevrolet Celebrity and Monte Carlo. All Luminas were built in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

The North American Chevrolet Lumina was based on GM's midsize W platform, which was shared with the Pontiac Grand Prix, the Buick Regal, the Buick Century (after 1996), the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and the Oldsmobile Intrigue. The Lumina was the largest sedan out of the W-body family.
