Saturn Hybrid

Saturn has proven its commitment to hybrid technology and alternative energy sources time and time again, having developed one of the first production electric cars, the Saturn EV1. Though EV1 production has ceased, it has certainly laid down a strong foundation for Saturns future hybrid models, like the Saturn VUE Hybrid.

The VUE is a mid-sized SUV that will benefit from GM's hybrid system, giving it better gas mileage and sustaining its current level of performance and practicality. The better fuel economy and emissions of the Saturn VUE Hybrid are not the only benefits; the VUE has a number of convenient innovations throughout the interior, such as the pop-up cargo organizer which allows for the easy organization and protection of anything one could wish to transport.

The VUE Hybrid will be available in late 2005.

Though current hybrid car tax incentives/rebates are being phased out, consumers can look forward to rebates of up to $5000 in 2005.

Current hybrid cars can get up to 60 miles to the gallon on the highway. In addition to fuel economy, they boast lower emissions and depreciation than gasoline powered cars.

In the near future, hybrid cars are expected to get fuel mileage as high as 190 miles per gallon!

Environmentalists embrace hybrid cars as a solution to today's pollution problems.

Heavy HEV development began in the early 1990's with major manufacturers donating billions of dollars to the research of new hybrid technologies.
