Chevrolet Lumina

CHEVROLET LUMINA

The Chevrolet Lumina sedan, coupe and minivan were first introduced in 1989 for the 1990 model year as a new range of vehicles from the Chevrolet brand of General Motors to replace the Chevrolet Celebrity sedan, and the Monte Carlo coupe. The Lumina was an answer from General Motors to the Ford Taurus. Lumina coupe and sedan models were built at the Oshawa Car Assembly plant, in Ontario, Canada while the Lumina APV was built at the former North Tarrytown Assembly plant, in North Tarrytown, New York. The Chevrolet Lumina had the longest length from any other W-body car at the time.

Consumers were ultimately confused by having two different vehicles (the Lumina sedan and the Lumina APV minivan) share the same name, and the concept was eventually dropped when the Lumina APV was replaced by the Chevrolet Venture in 1997.

The namebadge is also used on a variety of vehicles in the Holden Commodore family sold in the Middle East and South Africa.
