The Chevrolet Lumina sedan and minivan were introduced in 1990 as a new range (or sub-marque) of vehicles from Chevrolet. Consumers were confused by having two different vehicles (the eponymous Lumina sedan and Lumina APV minivan) share the same name, and the concept was eventually scrapped.
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 sedan was a replacement for the Chevrolet Celebrity and Monte Carlo. All Luminas were built in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
The American Chevrolet Lumina was based on GM's W-Body midsize car architecture, which was shared with the Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Regal, Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Oldsmobile Intrigue.
