The urban expression version sports 18-inch wheels, performance tires and suspension modifications that lower the vehicle approximately two inches for a bold stance. It also has modified front and rear fascias, an integrated spoiler and a three-panel sunroof. Inside, the vehicle features an integrated navigation system and rear seat gaming system. This show vehicle represents the popular customization trends of younger owners. Following the introduction of the VUE, Saturn will work with several aftermarket companies to promote the customization opportunities for the vehicle.
"Our launch theme for the Saturn VUE is 'new perspectives on the SUV,' and these two vehicles vividly demonstrate a different kind of sport utility," Lajdziak said. "The fresh, contemporary design of the Saturn VUE, along with its base MSRP of under $20,000, will enable customers to affordably personalize or customize their vehicle when it hits the market later this year."
The Saturn VUE will boast a variety of unique features, including the most powertrain options in the compact utility segment, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), dent-resistant polymer panels, low step-in height due to space frame construction, car-friendly bumpers, one-hand operation fold-flat seats, and Saturn's head curtain side air bags.
