Buick Riviera Engines and Transmissions
Every Buick Riviera engine in this generation runs on gasoline, tuned for quiet, effortless pulling power rather than outright revs. Expect an automatic transmission handling shifts smoothly in the background, so the drivetrain stays unobtrusive in traffic and settles into a calm, low-effort cruise on the highway.
