The Chevrolet Lumina APV Base for 1996: Improving on 1995

The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a General Motors 4-speed transaxle. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.
The Lumina APV uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The van uses coil and air springs front and rear respectively.
