Saturn Vue Hybrid
The 2010 Saturn VUE Hybrid ranks 19 out of 25 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 33 published reviews and test drives of the Saturn VUE Hybrid, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Formerly called the Green Line, the VUE Hybrid offers decent gas mileage at an affordable sticker price. The 2010 VUE is unchanged and continues to offer weaker performance than its competition.
General Motors, Saturn’s parent brand, recently emerged from bankruptcy and announced plans to sell the Saturn brand to the Penske Automotive Group. Business should continue as usual for Saturn buyers and owners. GM will even supply the cars to Penske for the next few years. However, due to the sale GM has cancelled production of the highly anticipated 2 Mode model, a full hybrid that would have improved fuel economy and performance.
“The 4-cylinder Hybrid costs about $5000 more than the conventional 4-cylinder model,” says Consumer Guide. “It may be frugal, but that stiff price premium might take years of fuel savings to offset.” Still, reviewers especially like the VUE Hybrid’s low sticker price relative to the competition. However, there’s a price to pay for the lower sticker — competitors such as the Ford Escape Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid generally offer better performance or nicer interiors. The VUE Hybrid comes in front-wheel drive with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine.
