Chevrolet has obviously targeted families with the Lumina. Order LS trim and a power window lockout switch is provided. Optional is an integrated child seat. In government crash testing, the Lumina scored very well, and performed admirably in offset crash testing conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. All fabrics and carpets are protected by Scotchgard, so messy spills are easy to clean, and the Lumina easily accommodates a family of five and their belongings.
Interior comfort is quite good, front and rear.
No more knee-eating occurs back there thanks to a higher, more supportive cushion. Front seats are comfortable as well, though we did not test them for long distances. The dashboard is simply and effectively laid out, placing all controls within easy reach. They'll pay for themselves during the first long family road trip. Analog gauges are almost obscenely large, which makes them exceptionally simple to read.
