Year to Year Changes
1997 Saturn S-Series:
Except for a few equipment changes, Saturn sedans and wagons were unchanged this season.
1998 Saturn S-Series:
Structural changes to engine blocks and transmission cases aimed to reduce noise and increase durability. Wheel covers were redesigned, and automatic-transmission settings revised.
1999 Saturn S-Series:
Rear drum brakes now went into SL2 models with antilock braking, rather than the prior disc units.
2000 Saturn S-Series:
Sedans and wagons earned a freshening, with new lower-body styling that added 1.2 inches to overall length. Inside was a new instrument cluster, and the console held redesigned cupholders. The horn now worked via the steering-wheel hub rather than spoke buttons, and cruise control relocated from the hub to the spokes. Front seats gained more travel, and rear child-safety seats got top-tether anchors.
2001 Saturn S-Series:
These models offered optional curtain side airbags for 2001. And base SL sedan added standard features such as body-colored bumpers, right-side rearview mirror, and power steering.
2002 Saturn S-Series:
Saturn dropped the S-Series wagon body style for 2002. The S-Series would be replaced for 2003 by a redesigned model line called Ion.
