At the time of production, the Aurora was the flagship vehicle in the Oldsmobile lineup. It originated as the 1990 Cadillac Aurora concept using the Allante 4.5 V8 engine and all-wheel drive.GM developed the Aurora to rejuvenate Oldsmobile,basing its design on the 1989 Oldsmobile Tube Car concept car, using a variant of Cadillac’s Northstar 4.6-liter V-8 engine.
The Aurora went into production on January 24, 1994,and was released for the 1995 model year, featuring dual-zone climate control, driver and front passenger airbags, leather seating surfaces, genuine burl walnut interior accents, six-speaker sound system with in-dash cd-cassette, and eight-way power adjustable front seats with 2-position memory.
