📚 Vehicle History

Brand Heritage

Brand Context:

Chevrolet, a division of General Motors, has a long history of producing mainstream and performance vehicles for the North American market.

Model Evolution

Platform Origin:

The Lumina sedan for 2000 was based on the GM W-body platform, shared with other GM sedans like the Buick LeSabre and Oldsmobile Aurora, but often tuned for a more mainstream appeal. However, it's important to note that the 'Lumina' nameplate was also used on different platforms globally, including the Holden Commodore-derived platform in Australia/NZ, which might have different engine options. This manual likely pertains to the North American W-body Lumina.

Production

Production Period:

The Chevrolet Lumina nameplate was produced from 1989 to 2001 in North America, with the final iteration (which would include the 2000 model year) being the 'Lumina APV' minivan and the large RWD sedan (often referred to as Lumina Sedan or Holden Caprice based).

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Recognitions

Awards And Ratings:

While specific awards for the 2000 Lumina might be limited, its platform (W-body) was generally well-regarded for comfort and ride quality in its class. The 3800 Series II V6 engine was a popular and often praised powertrain for its balance of power and refinement.
