The impressive sales of Saturn Aura allowed for this mid-sized car to get in the top of the best cars produced by General Motors. The popularity of the concept became apparent in 2006 when it was made public at the New York Auto Show, and though it was meant as a replacement for the Saturn L-series, Saturn Aura brings a breath of fresh air to the entire Saturn collection. The consequence of this new direction is an advantage of American cars over European imports particularly since in recent years the focus has fallen on the latter in the United States. Saturn Aura thus rivals with its distant relative: the European Opel Vectra.

The standard Saturn Aura has folding mirrors and side marker lights, and these design features are clearly an imitation of European car design. The other appearance details make Saturn Aura a really pleasant car with 17 or 18 inch wheels and all season tires according to the XR or XE models. The changes in decoration style are obvious in the design of the interior too, Saturn Aura provides the possibility to choose the saddle leather and back seat radio control. Yet, despite the real advantages in the standard model, Saturn Aura has been bad-mouthed for the quality of the materials used in the interior.

As for the technical characteristics of the Saturn Aura standard models, there is an assisted break system for all the four wheel disk brakes, heated seats and comprehensive front and lateral airbags, automatic steering control and stability control as well as remote vehicle start. Saturn Aura also provides 224 horsepower for a 3.5 liter V6 engine. The difference between Saturn Aura XR and XE is obvious with the properties of the suspensions: thus those of the XE model are softer, while the XR model includes sportier and a bit more rigid suspensions. Last but not least, this concept difference is also relevant for the price of the cars in dealer shops.

Saturn Aura is also available in the hybrid eco form following the green line specificity. It relies on a belt alternation system and it includes the same suspension system as the gas only XE models. This hybrid variety provides 164 horsepower and the advantage of an important improvement in terms of fuel consume. In order to encourage the purchase of ecological cars so as to save or preserve the environment, governmental laws regulate a ,300 tax credit drop. This means that after you purchase the Saturn Aura hybrid you’ll save the above mentioned sum that you’d otherwise pay for taxes.
