2002 Saturn Vue.jpg

Saturn Vue. 2002–7 (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/F, F/A, 2189 cm³ petrol, 2384 cm³ petrol–electric hybrid (I4 DOHC), 2962 cm³ (V6 DOHC), 3471 cm³ (V6 OHC). Odd-looking SUV on the GM Theta platform shared with Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Opel Antara. CVT from 2002 to 2005 inclusive, fitted to insipid 2·2, but it proved unreliable; replaced by five-speed automatic. Plastic body panels, and less than stellar build quality. Three-litre V6 to 2004; 3·5 250 hp engine from Honda (the best engine of the lot) from 2005 along with optional four-wheel drive. Uninspiring at the start with uncommunicative steering and average handling, till Saturn began offering Red Line performance models (with the Honda engine) and the eco-friendly Green Line hybrids. Interior never that great till a 2006 revamp, when quality went up.


Manufacturing location: Spring Hill, Tennessee, USA

Marque: Saturn | Model: Saturn Vue | Predecessors: Isuzu MU (UE), Isuzu Wizard (UE) | Successor: Opel Antara
