What is the Saturn Vue?

The Vue was Saturn’s compact sport-utility vehicle, with a taller body and five-door layout for everyday passenger and cargo use. It brought a utility vehicle into a range otherwise known for cars.

The first-generation Vue introduced GM’s Theta platform and ran from 2002 to 2007. The second generation followed from 2008 to 2010 with a redesigned shape based on the Opel Antara, part of GM’s European lineup. The range included petrol and hybrid versions.

Engines and power

The engine range ran from 2.2 L to 3.6 L. U.S. versions included petrol and hybrid models; Canadian versions listed here used petrol.

The Vue offered a range of engine sizes, and the later generation brought a new design based on the Opel Antara.

How economical is the Saturn Vue?

In the United States, EPA figures cover 2002–2010. The best combined rating is 28 MPG, while the lowest listed consumption is 8.4 L/100 km. Canadian NRCan figures cover 2002–2009, with lowest listed consumption of 8.5 L/100 km on the 5-cycle test.
