All-New Saturn ION Sedan and Quad Coupe Designed to Re-Energize Small-Car Segment

Independent front and semi-independent torsion beam rear suspensions, along with front and rear stabilizer bars, a wider track, and a longer wheelbase add to the ION models' improved ride and handling over their S-series predecessors. The ION models' turning circle also has been engineered to provide the maneuverability expected in the competitive small-car segment.

Advanced safety features

The ION sedan and quad coupe carry on the Saturn tradition of leadership in the areas of safety and security. The world-class structural design provides the foundation for a safe environment. The spaceframe's front and rear crush zones help absorb the energy of a crash while protecting the integrity of the safety cage.

Dual-stage driver and passenger air bags are standard, and Saturn's innovative head-curtain air bag system - which help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries for both front and rear occupants in certain side impact collisions - is optional. In addition, front seatbelt pretensioners, three-point safety belts for all seating positions, and new LATCH (Lower Anchorages and Tethers for Children) child-seat attachment system are all standard equipment.

OnStar, with its array of safety, security and convenience features, is available as an option on both the ION sedan and quad coupe - a segment first that will take Saturn's reputation for safety and security to an even higher level.
