Even though it won’t be built, Saturn VUE 2-Mode hybrid rated at 27/30 mpg by EPA!
The Saturn VUE 2-Mode hybrid was supposed to hit the market late 2008/early 2009. When the market crashed, it was one of the first programs to be cut, and now that Saturn is being transitioned over to Penske, the VUE itself doesn’t have much life left in it. That didn’t stop the General from having the VUE hybrid EPA certified, bringing home a 27 mpg city, 30 mpg highway rating. While that doesn’t seem so great compared to the Ford Escape hybrid, the VUE features a V6 compared to the Ford’s I4. The VUE beats the Toyota Highlander hybrid though, which is rated at only 27 mpg city, 25 mpg highway. For more on the story, head on over to Autoblog.
