Powertrain Options and Availability

A 170-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 engine was the sole Park Avenue engine at first. In its second season, that engine was joined by a supercharged version. Supercharging, also used on the Pontiac Bonneville SSEi and Olds Ninety Eight Touring Sedan, aimed to increase power without lag or non-linear delivery--two drawbacks associated with turbochargers. The 205-horsepower supercharged V6 powers 1992-93 Ultras. It got a boost to 225 horsepower for 1994-95, then 240 horses for '96. Meanwhile, the base engine gained a bit of torque for 1993, but kept the same 170-horsepower rating. A 205 horsepower Series II 3.8-liter V6 became standard for '95.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers.

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%.
