Powertrain Options and Availability
A 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine was standard in early Luminas. A 135-horsepower, 3.1-liter V6 went into Euro editions, or could be installed in base models. Standard transmission was a 3-speed automatic, but a 4-speed overdrive automatic was optional with the V6. The 3-speed can be found in many V6 Luminas, however. GM's new twin-cam 3.4-liter V6 went into the high-performance Z34 coupe, which arrived during 1991. That engine was rated at 210 horsepower with standard 5-speed manual shift (200 with automatic). Base engines lost 5 horsepower in 1992, but the potent dual-cam 3.4-liter could be installed in Euros (automatic transmission only). A smaller (2.2-liter) 4-cylinder engine went into '93 models, making 110 horsepower; but a year later, all Luminas had V6 engines.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results
Test 1994 Lumina
Front Impact, Driver 2
Front Impact, Passenger --
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
