Notable Features

The Green Line’s hybrid system utilizes a start/stop feature that boosts fuel economy by turning the engine off while at idle. It also uses regenerative braking to charge its batteries as well as an early fuel cutoff system that operates during deceleration. This is standard hybrid technology, but it’s effective.

Safety features include side-curtain air bags, but the idea is to use avoid using them. To that end, Saturn has packed the Vue Green Line with ABS, traction control and GM Stabilitrak to provide the driver with a greater degree of confidence. Also featured is an electronic trailer sway control to help prevent accidents while towing.

OnStar is standard on the Vue Green Line for the first 12 months, but the system’s Turn-by-Turn navigation service will cost extra. However, being worry-free about locking your keys in the car for that first year is a great bonus. In addition, OnStar notifies emergency services in case of an airbag deployment, can track your car if it has been stolen car, and offers hands-free voice-activated calling.
