30.01.09

The attractive new Saturn Vue is offered in three forms and two trim levels. It's available in a gasoline fueled version, a performance-oriented Red Line version and Green Line hybrid.

The Vue Green Line is one of the lowest-cost hybrid SUVs on the market today. It is powered by a unique electric motor/generator coupled to a 2.4-liter VVT four-cylinder and a modified four-speed automatic transmission with a shift switch on the stalk. The simple and flexible hybrid design provides additional power from the motor/generator during acceleration while allowing 20 percent greater fuel economy by shutting off the engine at idle and cutting off fuel delivery during deceleration. The Vue Green Line delivers approximately 25 mpg during city driving and up to 32 mpg during highway operation. Regenerative braking plays a significant role in the Vue Green Line's efficiency.

The Vue Green Line's hybrid system costs less than $2,000, enabling Saturn to market the vehicle starting at $24,170, placing it just $1,500 to $2,000 more than its stable mates - roughly half that of most other SUV hybrids. Saturn was able to keep the Vue Green Line in budget territory by combining the electric drive motor with the alternator, mounted in front of the engine, eliminating the necessity of a major re-engineering for fitment.

Pros and Cons for Saturn Vue Hybrid?

Nov 02, 2008 by NaNaTheSnook | Posted in Buying & Selling

We are looking at buying a new car. We like the size and MPG on the Saturn Vue Hybrid. Have heard it may not handle well in the rain. Anyone have an opinion or experience?

It isn't a true Hybrid. The only reason Saturn can market it as one is because the engine shuts off when you would normally be idleing at a stop-light.
If you do mostly highway driving, the Green Line is absolutely worthless.
If you find yourself in bumper-to-bumper traffic all of the time, it is worth a look, but in my opinion still not worth the price difference from a normal Vue.

In my opinion, the Ford Escape Hybrid is a better vehicle.

Has anyone had problems with 2007 saturn vue hybrid?

Dec 15, 2008 by Cleat & Jessica | Posted in GMC

I have one and have run into many problems that the dealership cant find to fix. Stuff fine for them when they get it. But some stuff stop working out of blue. I am filling court papers to make GM take the car back. I need to know if I was the only one to have a lot of problems.
