Year to Year Changes
1993 Oldsmobile Achieva:
Achieva loses a little horsepower to stricter emission controls for 1993, but otherwise enters its second year with few changes. The Quad OHC, basic Quad 4, and the two High Output Quad 4 engines all lose 5 horsepower when paired with the automatic transmission.
1994 Oldsmobile Achieva:
A driver-side airbag is a new standard feature, and a 160-horsepower 3.1-liter V6 replaces the previous 3.3-liter unit. It came only with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
1995 Oldsmobile Achieva:
The lineup is trimmed from three models to just one--the S, available as both a coupe and sedan. There are two equipment groups, however, Series I and Series II. A driver-side airbag, antilock brakes, and an air conditioner are standard on all versions. In addition, two engines are available instead of four. Both the Quad OHC and the High Output version of the Quad 4 are dropped, leaving only the extensively revised Quad 4 and 3.1-liter V6. Horsepower outputs change to 150 and 155, respectively.
1996 Oldsmobile Achieva:
A host of new features are added for 1996, including a new standard engine, a new dash panel featuring revised gauges and passenger-side airbag, an all-new interior, standard air conditioning, and daytime running lights. The new base engine is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, called the Twin Cam, which replaces the 2.3-liter Quad 4.
1997 Oldsmobile Achieva:
Only minor equipment changes were made in Achevia's final year.
