Saturn to drop 'Green Line' label

Saturn’s Vue hybrid crossover was one of the first petrol-electric models from an American carmaker when it was launched in 2006. Back then, marketers from Saturn... June 12, 2008 by 


 

Why should I also consider these?

The 2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid has a lower price than the Ford Escape Hybrid—and the Tribute Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid, which are all mechanically similar to the Ford.

The Ford, Mazda, and Mercury, along with the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, all have a full hybrid system—meaning the system can propel the vehicle on electric power alone—and mileage is a bit better than that of the Vue in town.

The Ford-designed hybrids and the Toyota each have available all-wheel drive, while the Saturn's system is only offered with front-wheel drive.

The Jetta Sportwagen TDI is an intriguing alternative for those who do a lot of highway driving or have longer commutes; the clean-diesel engine shines on the highway, with real-world fuel economy well into the 40s, and the model is priced lower than any of these hybrids.

 
2009 Ford Escape
Though it looks decidedly old-school, the Ford Escape is a solid and stylish five-passenger, compact SUV that has been kept up-to-date.
 
2009 Mercury Mariner
The 2009 Mercury Mariner is an attractive and capable compact SUV, now with vastly improved performance.

2008 Mazda Tribute
The 2008 Mazda Tribute wears a sharp new set of sheetmetal, but performance remains middling, and it still lacks a third-row option.
 
2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid offers the same room and amenities that the nonhybrid Highlander does, only with better fuel economy and the badge of honor that comes with driving something that's trying to be green.
