Line
The GM Saturn Aura hybrid uses the same hybrid powertrain as
the Saturn VUE Greenline hybrid. The gasoline engine will be
a 2.4-liter Ecotec instead of the 3.6L DOHC V6 that will be
found in the regular version of the car.
The Saturn Aura is a mid-size car produced under the Saturn
brand of American automaker General Motors. The Aura is part
of a product rejuvenation for Saturn to make the firm
profitable as well as competitive with European imports.
Reaction to the Aura has been good, both in terms of reviews
and sales.
The concept used a 252 hp (186 kW) 3.6 L V6 and a new 6T70
six-speed automatic transmission. That powertrain, along
with a 224 hp (167 kW) 3.5 L V6 and hybrid 170 hp (127 kW)
2.4 L straight-4 are offered in the production models as the
XR, XE, and Green Line versions, respectively. The Aura,
developed on the GM Epsilon platform, is only available as a
sedan and is built at the Kansas City, Kansas, Fairfax
Assembly plant.
