Used 1995 Buick Riviera

The 1995 Buick Riviera Supercharged Coupe represents Buick’s bold return to the personal-luxury flagship—an all-new Riviera that debuted for 1995 with dramatic, concept-car-inspired styling and a modern grand-touring mission. This generation was designed to deliver true long-distance comfort with contemporary technology, upscale cabin appointments, and a drivetrain engineered to make the Riviera feel far more urgent than most luxury coupes of its era. And with only 44,045 miles on this particular example since new, it offers a rare chance to experience the supercharged Riviera the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Under the hood is the feature that makes the 1995 Riviera such a standout among enthusiasts: Buick’s 3.8L 3800 Supercharged V6, rated at 225 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. The appeal here isn’t just the numbers—it’s how the power arrives. The Riviera uses a Roots-type supercharger, which delivers boost with immediate response rather than waiting for exhaust-driven spool, giving the car a strong, instant surge that fits the Riviera’s effortless, high-speed character. In period testing, the supercharged Riviera was capable of 0–60 mph in 7.2 seconds, delivering acceleration that feels genuinely strong for a substantial luxury coupe, while maintaining an EPA rating of 17 mpg city / 27 mpg highway. Power is sent to the front wheels through a smooth automatic transmission, creating a refined, torque-rich driving experience that’s perfectly suited to this car’s mission: fast, comfortable miles with minimal drama. Part of what makes the 1995 Riviera especially compelling is how well it balances luxury-coupe serenity with real performance credibility. With a stated curb weight of 3,762 pounds, the supercharged drivetrain gives the Riviera the kind of confident passing power and highway composure that owners and reviewers repeatedly called out. It’s an upscale coupe with seating for five, built around the idea that the driver gets the best seat in the house—surrounded by comfort-focused features and a layout designed for long stretches behind the wheel. This Riviera is finished in a Tan exterior over a Tan leather interior, a fitting combination for a true personal luxury coupe. Up front, you get power-adjustable front seats for proper comfort and positioning, and the cabin is further elevated by Concert Sound II audio paired with an AM/FM radio. Everyday convenience is handled exactly as you’d want in a flagship Buick of the era, including a key fob for power locks—the kind of detail that reminds you this car was designed to feel premium in real-world use, not just on a spec sheet. Rounding out the experience is the desirable Astro sliding roof, adding open-air flexibility without compromising the Riviera’s sleek coupe profile. For the enthusiast who appreciates the intersection of 1990s GM engineering, distinctive design, and the unmistakable character of the supercharged 3800, the 1995 Riviera Supercharged Coupe occupies a very specific sweet spot: a fully redesigned flagship that looks like a concept car brought to life, backed by a torque-rich engine that made the Riviera genuinely quick for its class. With 44,045 miles, classic Riviera presence, and the supercharged drivetrain at the center of the experience, this is the kind of personal-luxury coupe that feels special the moment you understand what it is—and even more special once you drive it.
