2009 Saturn Vue Green Line Two-Mode Hybrid

2008 Detroit Auto Show

As promised, the Vue is the first of General Motors' small SUVs to get the two-mode hybrid system recently introduced in their full-size SUVs and coming soon to the Silverado full-size pickup; it even gets the same big HYBRID sticker along the bottom edge of the doors. The two-mode Vue uses a direct-injection version of GM's corporate 3.6 liter V6; Saturn estimates a 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds (snappy!) and fuel economy 50% better than a standard V6-powered Vue.
