The Saturn Aura is a midsize sedan has been popular on the market a few years. Since it was introduced into the North American International Auto Show in January 2005, the car became very popular, both as a production vehicle and now as a hybrid, the Saturn Aura Green Line. The popularity of this vehicle, both in form, has been hailed as “the best thing that can happen to Saturn since its inception” by Edmunds. In fact, the 2007 Saturn Aura won North American Car of the Year.

GM likes to say that green is the lowest price on the Aura hybrid market and a credit of $ 1 300 IRS tax hybrids may also be available for those who qualify. Aura Hybrid version offers the same safety features that earned him the gas two times more than government safety of five stars for frontal crash and side impacts.

The hybrid of a second ahead of GM and Saturn (right behind the Saturn Vue Green Line), four-door sedan is considered a mild hybrid and runs on 2.4l Ecotech engine with electric motor / generator and 4T45-E four-speed transmission. However, this difference in the hood does not lead to radical differences in fuel economy. While the Aura Green Line gets 24 mpg city and 32 on the highway, its sister vehicle standards, the city Aura XE 22 and 30 mpg on the highway.

An interesting feature of this hybrid is the entry level air conditioning. The driver can choose whether the air is cooled by the battery or engine. If the CA is 65 years or more, you can work with pure electricity – ie, no debate over whether it is more efficient to drive with the windows down or off the air conditioner.

With the Aura Green Line 2008 of $ 24,550, which represents a good deal for anyone in the market for a hybrid car. With the room you would expect from a standard sedan fuel economy a bit in the standard versions, and the use of green technologies, we will be pleasantly surprised to see so many Saturn has come since the day of its plastic rear window . Just do not expect substantial savings (financial and environmental) that would be a full hybrid. In addition, you can contact quite a few dealers to get a test of a new hybrid Aura that these hybrids are in limited production and only available in certain markets.

Since the Saturn Vue hybrid is planned for the system in two-hybrid production in late 2008, we can only hope that a new 2009 or 2010 Saturn Aura Green Line two-way not far away.
