Green Line For Saturn Aura
Wednesday, November 29th, 2006
Back to basics for Saturn’s Aura Green Line. Announced today, it gets the same engine and drivetrain combination as the current VUE Green Line, which is a 2.4-litre inline-four that makes 164 horsepower and 159 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a trusty four-speed automatic and a small electric motor/generator, this mild hybrid is a cost-effective alternative to getting your green wings. Saturn is charging less than a $3,000 premium in the US for the car, which means more hybrids on the roads. That is, if you like the Aura. Mileage is said to be 25% better than the standard 3.5-litre pushrod V6.
