Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

Good Good Acceptable Marginal Poor Poor

Test details:

The Chevrolet Lumina was redesigned for the 1995 model year. Note: 2001 Luminas were sold only to fleets.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy moved toward the driver door, and its head hit the roof rail and B-pillar.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of injuries in a crash of this severity. Head accelerations from the roof rail and B-pillar hits were low.

Left to right:

Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well.
Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the roof rail and B-pillar during rebound.
Footwell intrusion was less than in most other cars the Institute tested.

Additional features:

Built-in child restraints (optional on 1996-98 models)
Antilock brakes (optional)
Daytime running lights (beginning with 1997 models)
