The Complete List of Cars Made In 1994

The mid‑1990s were a transitional period for cars worldwide: safety and emissions rules were tightening, new body styles and engines were appearing, and many familiar nameplates evolved or debuted to meet changing tastes. That makes a 1994‑specific list useful for collectors, researchers, and anyone curious about what was on the road that year.

There are 54 Cars Made in 1994, ranging from the Audi A4 to the Volkswagen Transporter T4. For each entry you’ll find below how the data are organized: Market or country,Body type,Engine (L) / power (kW), so you can compare regional variants, body styles and engine output at a glance — you’ll find below.

What does “made in 1994” include — model launches, production years, or specific VIN years?

This list generally includes models produced in calendar year 1994, covering new model launches, continued production runs and region‑specific variants; if a model was marketed earlier but still built in 1994 it’s listed, and you can use the Market or country column to spot regional production differences.

How should I use the Engine (L) / power (kW) column to compare performance?

Use the Engine (L) figure for displacement and the kW value for standardized power output across markets; remember some sources list horsepower instead, so if needed convert kW to hp (1 kW ≈ 1.34 hp) and check the Market or country column for variations in tuning or emissions that affect numbers.
