VUE Power Train & Fuel Economy

2006 Saturn VUE

4-Cylinder Front Wheel Drive

The 4-cylinder Saturn VUE is a front wheel drive model powered by an Ecotec 2.2L engine. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with this model, but a four-speed automatic transmission is available.

Fuel Economy Rating: 22 city, 27 highway

6-Cylinder Front Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive

The 6-cylinder Saturn VUE has a 3.5L V-6 engine producing 250 horsepower. The car can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. Variable-valve timing helps enhance high-end power, low-end torque and fuel economy.

The 6-cylinder Saturn VUE's 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission has grade logic control, a feature that helps keep the transmission from shifting up and down repeatedly when you travel over hilly terrain.

Fuel Economy Rating: 20 mpg city, 28 mpg highway

Towing Ability

The Saturn VUE will tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Another plus--all 2006 Saturn VUE models can be flat-towed. In other words, the SUVs can be towed without using a trailer or dolly.
