Overview & Reviews

Revised interior and exterior trim details freshen up the interior of Saturn's SUV. Four-cylinder models get new machined alloy wheels in place of last year's painted alloys, along with new seat fabric, and a four-speed automatic transmission in place of the former CVT unit. All-wheel drive is no longer available on four-cylinder Vues.

• Strong V6, spacious cabin, comfortable ride, excellent crash test scores, good fuel economy.

• Too many low-grade and ill-fitting interior materials, undersized front seats, vague steering.

  My Saturn Vue - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Plastic Saturn Man - September 6 - 8:46 am

  My plastic car looks great, but feels a little cheap inside. Since I mainly use it as a dual purpose vehicle, it serves me well. I can drive around my kids and be very safe. In addition, I can easily zoink out the car seats and lay the rear and front passenger seats down providing ample space for my miscellaneous boxes and tools. The CR-V 4-cylinder engine does feel a bit odd and under-powered. I get the feeling my motor is being powered by a giant coiled rubber band, like those used to power a toy airplane’s propeller.

  So far we love our VUE! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Saturn Vue - June 24 - 10:10 am

  We have only had the vehicle for a couple of months, but I think it is fun to drive and easy to handle. Its better on fuel than our mini-van was. The storage space is at a minimum, but I love the shopping compartment. So far, we are very pleased.

  By Wendy - June 22 - 3:20 pm

  My Saturn VUE is really easy to wheel around town and in crowed busy parking lots.So the size is perfect, not too big, yet big enough that everyone has leg and moving around room inside. I do think Saturn could do more to make the car more comfortable instead of so plain. Mechanically, my VUE has been wonderful with no major problems. Also, my dealership has worked really well with me. My son spilled chocolate milk on the backseat floor, and when they could not get the stain out, they replaced the carpet for me. You can rate a Saturn VUE mechanical, looks and dealerships as excellent!

  Vue red line - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By shageeda - June 17 - 8:40 am

  The red line package has a very sharp look with the chrome & ground effects on the exterior of the vehicle. with a very spacious interior. The comfort package is a plus for the total look of this SUV. The power that this SUV has is more than enough for anyone to enjoy the ride. Overall one of the nicest that I tried before leasing this SUV.

  Great Family SUV - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By applspar - June 4 - 2:43 pm

  I looked at about every small and midsized SUV before buying the VUE. The combination of standard features, gas mileage, style and low cost sold me. We have had it for 8 months and are considering trading in our other car on a second VUE.

  Love this car - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By MuzMan - May 22 - 12:26 pm

  This is the first Saturn I have owned and I dont know why waited so long. The car drives very smoothly and handles extremely well. The 250hp motor is more than enough for most people. The only negitive I have is the cargo area could be a couple inches wider and then it would except my golf clubs better. I drive the car normaly, that is I dont excellerate hard and keep a steady speed. The around town average is 20mpg. Thats not bad for a 250 hp V6. I love this car.

  05 VUE AWD V6 - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Bill - May 7 - 5:06 pm

  I bought this car new in June 2005 when I traded in my Nissan Maxima. The Vue is no Maxima. It has great power, reasonable fuel economy, looks great and has more room than the other vehicles in its class (Santa Fe, Xterra, CRV) The only issue Ive had has been with wheel bearing/strut assemblies, they covered it under warranty but I had to fight like hell to have it covered. Im at 83k now and it is still fun to drive. Id like to go for something larger but who can afford it let alone the fuel. I can get about 600kms on a tank of regular going about 97km/hr on the highway, big difference in fuel if you drive 120k/hr. You gotta take the V6 out for a drive if your looking at this segment

  Great car! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Molly - March 15 - 7:03 pm

  We bought this car new and have put a lot of miles on it already, and havent had to do anything to it other than change the oil. For an SUV it has good gas mileage, not 30 like they say but 27ish. The only complaints we have is the interior stains very easily, spill water and it stains. Also the seal on the passenger window went bad right away and leaks all over the seat. Other than that is has been excellent! Weve driven it across the country a couple of times and it is very reliable and comfy. Just needs new upholstery. Enjoy!
