In the middle of the 60/40 split front seat, a center armrest swings down to provide a cupholder as well as arm support. The front and back seats are nicely contoured, with the driver's seat featuring an easy-to-reach and effective seat pivot adjustment. Unfortunately, as with some other midsize sedans, neither front nor rear seats give the typical6-footer much legroom. Interior FeaturesĮntry into the Lumina Euro Sedan was quite easy. In short, there was a lot to like, but nothing took our collective breath away. The aluminum wheel covers provide a successful counterpoint to the overall exterior scheme. Sleek and functional black vinyl sport mirrors, recessed black door handles and vast expanses of front and side glass cornplete this sedan's well-coordinated but familiar styling statement. Headlight and taillight configurations were large, almost oversized, and integrated with true wraparound side marker assemblies to give this car a highly visible night profile. The side trim also appeared to provide excellent door protection. The color match between sheet metal components such as fenders and plastic components such as air dams approached perfection.įront/rear bumper and side trim consisted of a black vinyl strip and centered color strip that married perfectly with the exterior paint. The deep Garnet Red finish appeared to be without flaw. Returning to the positive, Chevy stylists and paint specialists have created an eye-pleasing combination of fit, finish and exterior trim as evidenced by our test vehicle. The result? The Lumina Euro fits in, but it certainly doesn't stand out. This new Lumina Euro bears an uncanny resemblance to the Ford Taurus and the flock of import sedans that dominated the midsize category five to seven years ago. It was a nice styling touch, though.īut wait a minute – haven't we seen this basic look before? You bet. In profile, our test Lumina Euro presented a slippery aerodynamic look, highlighted by a long, sloping hood that dropped a good six inches from windshield to grille heights, front and rear wraparound plastic air dams and a nifty little spoiler draped on the trunk lid. Still, this car left us with the feeling of being neither underwhelmed nor overwhelmed. It also included ride/hand1ing characteristics that put the Lurnina Euro Sedan on the threshold of the sporty category. The same price included one of the surest stopping four-wheel anti-lock braking systems we've tested, some nice interior touches and ample passenger and cargo room. In return, the Lumina Euro provided a responsive 3.1-liter V6, a smooth four-speed automatic transmission, an absolutely superb Delco/Bose AM/FM stereo and a host of power assists. In keeping with Chevy tradition, the Lumina Euro Sedan presents the midsize shopper with good-to-excellent value. Now the bad news: There's little, if anything, about this front-wheel drive, four-door sedan that qualifies it for the leading edge of the midsize sedan category. In fact, some characteristics-including impressive power-train response and credentials-pleased our test team a bunch. First the good news: We found very little to dislike about the the '94 Chevrolet Lumina Euro Sedan.
