The Saturn Vue & the Vue Hub Caps that go on it are nice, wouldn’t you agree?
Before the whole bankruptcy thing happened with Saturn in 2009, the Vue was one of the company’s more engaging and delightful products. The Vue had debuted in 2002 as GM’s very first homegrown entry in the car-based small-SUV segment. There were solid sale numbers that were recorded .. but it never really was a “critical acclaim”. As the years went on, just like any other manufacturer, Saturn had slowly but surely made improvements and then eventually expanded the Vue lineup. They had accomplished this by adding the high-performance Red Line and hybrid Green Line variants.
Even though the Vue & Vue Hub Caps weren’t as “polished” as the other SUV’s that were on the market, the first – generation of the Vue had remained attractive because of the low price that it was offered at.
When it was rereleased in 2008, the second generation Vue was improved in a variety of areas – and you were able to tell.
These model Vue’s had shared their basic structure with the Antara (a car that was based out of GM’s Germany-based European division. There was an extraordinary improvement that was over its forebear. It was basically a car that was from Saturn, but with the look and the feel of a European-designed car.
The second-generation was similar in size to the first generation Vue. It also had an almost identical wheel base and marginally greater width and height. The only real thing that was pretty different was the construction of the exterior; the second generation had its exterior made up of steel body panels.
Even though the first generation Vue’s were made up of plastic ones to prevent dings, they looked pretty dingy and also made big panel gaps.
The interior in the second generation Vue was higher in quality and also had improved ergonomics – it was more comfortable than the first one.
When it was on sale, you were able to buy the car in three trim levels: base XE, midgrade XR and sporty Red Line. When it came to the XE model, there was a 2.4-liter inline-4 that produced 164 horsepower and 160 pound-feet of torque that came standard. All this was connected to a 4-speed automatic transmission. For the midgrade XR, there was a 3.6-liter V6 that was made to produce 257 hp and 248 lb-ft. The last model (Red Line) was only available with the 3.6-liter V6. There was a manual – shift feature that was a mandatory option for the Red Line.
If you compare it to the other SUV’s that are on the market, the Vue was pretty small since it only had 56 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. This meant that it was almost 20 cubes less than some of its other key competitors. The passenger space in the car was good since it had a reclining rear seat that offered the passengers decent legroom. The comfort in the front seat was pretty good, too .. so I guess the car was pretty good to look at with its Vue Hub Caps and pretty comfortable to sit in with all the legroom that it offered.
