General Motors' Saturn division is preparing to transform its small SUV, the Saturn VUE, into a model infused with European technology courtesy of Opel, GM’s primary European brand. While the VUE previously relied on U.S. technology, the 2008 model will increasingly adopt Opel’s innovations. This move reassures those concerned about the VUE’s future, promising revitalization and enhanced support through its partnership with Opel.
Since the first S Series in 1990, Saturn has struggled to carve out a distinct identity. Largely neglected by GM, it took nearly a decade for new models like the Saturn VUE SUV to appear. Together with the L Series midsize cars, these vehicles defined Saturn for several years. Unfortunately, none became standout performers, which hindered the brand’s success.
However, with Oldsmobile’s closure, Saturn has found a new lease on life. Now fully integrated with GM, Saturn is adding more vehicles to its lineup. Capitalizing on its strong dealer network and high consumer satisfaction scores, Saturn is transforming into a European-style division with Opel’s help.
The upcoming Saturn Aura midsize sedan also draws inspiration from an Opel design, much like the Saturn VUE, which takes cues from the Opel Antera GTC. The Antera concept has been showcased at European auto shows, offering insight into the new VUE’s design.
The Antera is somewhat smaller than the current Saturn VUE. Although the Antera features two doors, the VUE will have four. Both models are similar in size to the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, their main competitors. This compact size paves the way for Saturn to introduce a slightly larger 7-passenger SUV, the Outlook, in the future.
The 2008 Saturn VUE will be available with both four and six-cylinder gas engines, offering AWD and RWD options. The front end of the VUE will be redesigned to align with Saturn’s current aesthetic, while integrating updated GM technology with enhanced safety and performance features. Anticipate a starting price near $20,000 for the FWD model, with fully loaded AWD versions reaching up to $30,000.
Manufactured in Spring Hill, TN?"the original Saturn plant?"the 2008 VUE joins a reinvigorated Saturn lineup, including the Outlook, Aura, SKY roadster, RELAY crossover, and ION compact. Thanks to Opel’s influence, Saturn is witnessing a revitalization that is sure to delight loyal fans who have supported the automaker for over 15 years.
