General Motor’s Non-traditional division is introducing a compact sport utility this spring. Embodying such Saturn core values as dent - and chip resistant polymer side panels, space frame body construction and Saturn’s highly rated ownership experience, the VUE launches into a booming SUV market.
What makes the VUE worthy of consideration among so many competitors? Innovation. The VUE is the SUV with standard power assisted rack, and pinion steering and the first to offer an optional continuously variable transmission and side curtain airbags. The VUE is also a good value; its base price starts well under $20,000.
The VUE is also a large valve. About the size of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, defining characteristic of the VUE include a stability enhancing long wheel base, carlike low step in height and a 4 ft. wide rear cargo opening. Yet the VUE offers compact SUV efficiencies and fuel economy. The VUE platform can be configured with front or all wheel drive. Power train choices include a 4 cylinder mated to a 5 speed manual or continuously variable transmission, and a V6 teamed with a 5 speed automatic. The V-6 is available only with all wheel drive.
