2009 Saturn Vue Sneak Peek
The 2009 Saturn Vue adds a second Green Line gas/electric hybrid model to its lineup. Based on the Opel Antara from GM's European subsidiary, the '09 Vue is offered in XE, top-line XR, hybrid Green Line and Green Line 2-Mode, and sporty Red Line versions. Vue seats five and is available with front- or all-wheel drive and a range of 4-cylinder, V6, and hybrid powertrains. All include an automatic transmission. The Green Line is offered as a single-mode "mild hybrid" or as a "2-Mode" hybrid. Both pair a gasoline engine with a battery-powered electric motor. The "mild hybrid" Green Line has a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder gas engine while the 2-Mode uses a 3.6-liter V6. Both systems can shut off the gas engine at a stop, but only the 2-Mode allows the vehicle to accelerate at low speeds solely on electric power. No plug-in charging is required for either hybrid. The 4-cylinder Green Line has a 4-speed automatic transmission, while the 2-Mode uses a continuously variable automatic (CVT). Expect horsepower for the 2-Mode to be somewhere around 300. Maximum towing capacity is 3500 lb. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. A navigation system is available, as are heated seats, remote engine start, and a rear cargo management system that is adjustable for different cargo-carrying needs. This report is based on evaluations of the 2008 Saturn Vue.
