With the introduction of the second generation of the Chevrolet Lumina in the fall of 1994, the former Lumina Coupé was marketed under the revived name Monte Carlo. 

The new Monte Carlo was available in two level trims, the LS and the Z34 Offered were an LS called base model with 3.1-liter V6 engine (160 hp / 119 kW) and the sports version under the name Z 34, powered by a DOHC -V6 engine, the 3.4 liter displacement maximum Power of 210 hp (157 kW) scooped. Both engines were serially coupled with a four-speed automatic transmission .

In the 1996 model year, the maximum output of the 3.4-liter engine, which was now also available at an additional cost in the base Monte Carlo, increased to 215 hp (160 kW), the Z 34 received disc brakes on all four wheels. 1997 models now added daytime running lights dual airbags and ABS as standard to the range.

In the 1998 model year, the 3.4-liter engine gave way to a larger 3.8-liter OHV -V6 engine (200 hp / 149 kW).
