Overview & Reviews

Borrowing components from GM's European Opel division, the Saturn Vue is completely redesigned for 2008. Highlights include a much-improved cabin, an available 257-horsepower V6 and improved handling and ride dynamics.

• Powerful V6 in XR and Red Line trims, handsome interior and exterior European styling, ideal handling and ride balance, plenty of standard safety features.

• Less cargo capacity than most rivals, front seats not ideal for some larger folks.

  Happiest I have ever been with a new car - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Love It! - August 5 - 4:56 pm

  I love my Vue Red Line. Previously I had been driving an Eclipse, and had just accepted that winter driving had to be miserable. The Vue handles very well in the snow, and with the XM and heated seats, bad weather is no longer a nightmare.

  Always a Japanese product fan, was - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Logan - July 20 - 3:23 pm

  Wife and I were looking for a Rav-4 or a CRV, Pilot, or the like. Like a white vehicle, Sort of had this color in mind. Were out looking with no luck! Happened to drive by and noticed several white Saturns in the yard. We drove in and immediately were smitten with this v6 awd Vue. Very, Very impressed with the performance, initial quality, all of the little things. My wife has a nervous condition, usually she gets flushed and mildly upset through the buying process. This was the most enjoyable, car-buying experience, I have, or my wife either, have ever had. Extremely pleased with the vehicle and the experience!

  GM & Saturn got this one right! - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By JersyGuy - June 28 - 12:43 pm

  Ill admit that the Saturn Vue wasnt on the top of my short list of potential new cars. But after test driving top choices - the RAV4 and CR4 - neither one impressed me - I decided to take a Vue for a spin. The interior fit and finish are much more refined than the RAV4 and CRV. I like the handling and suspension more on the Saturn as well. Price was also lower on the Saturn and had more standard features. So for interior and exterior styling, great XM radio and interior looks, and a better price, I decided on the Saturn. No problems with the car at all! Runs great, looks great, handles well, and is really fun to drive.

  First time Saturn owner. - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By drew212f - June 11 - 2:10 am

  The exterior styling is what made my wife and I even bother to take a look at a Saturn. We picked one out with 4 miles on it and the A/C broke after 12 miles of driving away from the dealership. We used the 30 day option and replaced the vehicle with an exact copy but it had a paint bubble on the shifter trim ring. Dealership fixed the issue and my wife is happy. No other issues to report after 200 miles. We are happy with our decision to purchase an 08 VUE XR over an 07 RAV4 Sport, we test drove both on the same day.

  Very Pleased! - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By CCR2008 - May 8 - 4:33 pm

  I love my VUE! I wanted cargo room and good mpg so I went for the 4 cylinder instead of the six. After a grand total of 476.5 miles driven, the combined mpg was 27.09. As others have noted, I also felt the drag with the engine shifting and hill climbing, but I let the engine do it’s thing and didn’t try to compensate during the first 500 miles. After reaching 200+ miles, the transition was noticeably smoother and with very little or no drag. Compared to the other small/midsized SUVs I looked at, the Vue’s value, good looks, and competitive fuel economy made my choice easy. The exterior is very attractive with clean, classic lines.

  Unbeatable quality and style - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Sheila Ward - April 20 - 7:30 am

  Styling of my 2008 onyx VUE turns head. The after purchase leather package for the interior makes it even more stunning! I love the OnStar and XM radio. My VUE is a joy to drive in town and on the highway. I make long trips each month and have been thrilled with the smooth ride, handling and max gas mileage. I get max mileage driving in town. Dash panel is easy to see, access and operate while driving. On steering wheel dials make it even easier. The reasons I purchased the VUE - quality craftsmanship, safety, gas mileage, cargo space and styling have been proven as I own and drive the car. Experience with my Saturn dealership has been excellent. I recommend the VUE to all!

  Great redesign - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By glc212 - January 6 - 4:16 pm

  I traded my 2003 Vue in with 95,000 mile. The 2008 is like going to a Cadillac fro a Chevy. The V6 is very responsive and it is fun to drive. I get a lot of comments on the styling and appearance.

  Saturn kept the Opel in the Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Mainer - October 2 - 1:56 pm

  My gas mileage is well above the EPA rating; 19.5 & 26. The handling is very good and the AWD worked very well in our record year of snow; 198". The VUE was called back for a software upgrade and the battery in the OnStar died. No other problems.

  Our 6th Saturn - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Pat - September 14 - 6:16 am

  This is our sixth Saturn, our third Vue. We have only had it a week, but during that time we drove it from central California to southern Arizona. This Vue is superior to our previous Vues because of the V6 engine, increased stability, OnStar, European styling and increased comfort. Its a smooth, fun car to drive. The fuel economy is not as good as our last Vue, but thats because we went to the V6 engine. Its worth it. The 4cyl we had on the last Vue just didnt have the pickup you need to pass and get up the hills with ease. My husband loves having the radio controls on the steering wheel and satellite radio. We also love the Saturn service. (I just wish theyd had a red one.)

  My 1st Saturn - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By mecorbett54 - July 23 - 9:13 am

  My husband has owned Saturns since 1993 & I have always bought Buick. I finally bought a 2008 Vue XR V6 and couldnt be happier, except for 1 thing - no sunroof. I cant believe the get-up & go this SUV has compared to the SUV I traded.
