Supreme Coupe
The Quad 442 Sport Performance Package was available on the Calais S Coupe and included a 2.3-liter High Output Quad 4 engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. Other improvements included an FE3 touring suspension, aluminum wheels, and full instrumentation.

The base engine for the Calais and Calais S was a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual gearbox. The International Series had a High Output Quad 4 engine and a 5-speed transaxle. The Calais SL had the Quad 4 engine and a three-speed automatic as standard. Also available on the Calais SL was the Series 3300 3.3-liter V-6.

For 1990, the base coupe and SL coupe were no longer available on the Cutlass Ciera. Front shock absorbers were added to the front and could be purchased with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 110 horsepower or 3.3-liter V6. The horsepower in the four-cylinder engine rose due to modifications to the intake and exhaust port and changes to the valve timing.

Supreme Coupe
An S coupe and sedan were added. The Cutlass Cruiser station wagon was now called the Cruiser S.

The convertible option on the Cutlass Supreme was a mid-model year offering. The Cutlass Supreme sedans had a unique wraparound rear window design and bucket seats. The convertible had a structural top bar that improved the vehicle's integrity as well as reduced vibration noises. It had an electrically-operated power top with a full headliner.

Power came from a 2.3-liter, 180 horsepower High Output Quad 4 four-cylinder engine tied to a five-speed manual gearbox. A 2.3-liter Quad 4 and three-speed automatic was rated at 160 horsepower. The 3.1-liter V6 came with a four-speed automatic and was standard in the Cutlass Supreme SL and convertible and was available in other models.
