2007 Saturn VUE Green Line Road Test

Driving a typical, climate-changing SUV amidst the tree huggers and wool-attired environmentalists of the West Coast can lead to feelings of angst and betrayal; there's no argument that we all want a cleaner world with less reliance on fossil fuels. I get it, and now many car companies get it. The latest such manufacturer is Saturn. For 2007, the compact Vue SUV is offered as a hybrid in addition to a conventionally powered unit. In the Vue's case, the hybrid technology is labeled as "mild," meaning it's not the highly sophisticated "full hybrid," system found in gas/electric vehicles that can be driven solely on their electric power until the need to initiate the gas engine is detected.
