1995 Chevrolet Beretta
![]() Daytime running lights, long-life automatic transmission fluid, and platinum-tipped spark plugs were new to the 1995 Beretta. |
Base and Z26 Berettas returned, with three Special Value editions of the base model and one on the Z26. Base cars came standard with a 120-horsepower 2.2-liter four, offering a 160-horsepower 3.1-liter V-6 as an option. The Sporty Z26 now came standard with the V-6 engine, as it dropped the 2.3-liter Quad 4 from its roster. The 2.2-liter four could be mated to either a five-speed manual or a three-speed automatic, but the V-6 came only with a four-speed automatic -- meaning the sporty Z26 wasn't as sporty as it used to be.
Bucking industry trends, the Beretta still had only a driver-side air bag, while virtually every competitor had dual air bags. However, a base Beretta with the top Special Value package offered a V-6 engine, four-speed automatic transmission, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, and a host of convenience features for just $13,999, including the destination charge.
![]() The 1995 Beretta wasn't as refined as some imported rivals, but those cars could not match Beretta's overall value. |
