The Chevrolet Lumina was a type of car called a "mid-size" sedan. It was built by the Chevrolet brand, which is part of the big company General Motors.

The Lumina was sold in North America from 1990 until 2001. After that, it was still made and sold in places like the Middle East and South Africa. You could buy the Lumina as a sedan (a regular four-door car), a coupe (a sportier two-door car), or even a minivan.

About the Chevrolet Lumina

The Chevrolet Lumina was designed to be a comfortable and reliable car for families. It was known for being a good everyday car.

Lumina Generations

The Chevrolet Lumina changed its design and features several times over the years. These different versions are called "generations."

First Generation (1990-1994)

The very first Lumina models came out in 1990. During this time, you could get it as a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan. This generation helped set the stage for the Lumina's popularity.

Second Generation (1995-2001)

From 1995 to 2001, the Lumina was mainly sold as a four-door sedan. This version had updated looks and features. In North America, Chevrolet stopped making the Lumina around 2000. This was because sales started to slow down. Also, a new version of the Chevrolet Impala became very popular, and many people chose that car instead.

Later Generations (1998-Present)

Even after it stopped being sold in North America, the Lumina name continued in other parts of the world. In some parts of Asia, the Lumina name was used for a car similar to the Buick Regal. In other places, like the Middle East and South Africa, the Lumina was actually a different car called the Holden Commodore from Australia, but it was sold with the Chevrolet Lumina name.
