Replacing the coloured plastic on the body, the sedan features chrome strips on the body’s side. Other cosmetic augmentations include the Executive Trim on the interior which includes leather sports seats and electronic adjustment capability for the driver as well as auto air-conditioning and a driving information centre.
The Lumina’s updated safety features will comprise of six airbags which come standard in both the sedan and Ute models, as well as anti-locking brakes with brake force distribution. The Lumina will also feature stability and traction control systems.
Both models come standard with Chevrolet’s 5 year/120 000km warranty (with roadside assistance) as well as a 3 year or 60 000km service plan. According to Chevrolet the service intervals are every 15 000km or one year.
Price-wise the Lumina Sedan, both the automatic and manual models, will set you back R484 900 with the optional sunroof costing R12 000. The Ute manual and automatic will be priced at R447 500.
