"The design language of the Aura - and other new Saturn models - is technical and conveys a premium appearance," said Clay Dean, GM design director for small and midsize cars. Seen in other new Saturn models, such as the Sky roadster and Outlook crossover vehicle, these elements - including distinctive headlamps with jewel-like appearance and a chrome grille bar - establish a new design language for Saturn's growing portfolio of vehicles. Each model is well-equipped, with premium features and interior materials among the best in its segment.īased on the dramatic concept vehicle unveiled in 2005, the Aura sports sedan carries much of the concept's bold design. When it goes on sale late this summer, the Aura will be available in two trim levels: the entry XE model and uplevel XR. "This is a fun-to-drive sport sedan that will appeal both to current Saturn owners and to those who have never considered shopping at one of our retail stores." "The bold, sophisticated design of the Aura represents another step in Saturn's revitalization," said Jill Lajdziak, Saturn general manager. It marks the first application of a hybrid powertrain in a GM passenger car. Later in the 2007 model year, Saturn will offer the Aura Green Line, a 2.4L Ecotec-based hybrid that will use a powertrain system similar to the Vue Green Line. Uplevel models feature GM's first application of a new six-speed automatic transmission mated with the 3.6L DOHC V-6, creating a powerful yet fuel-efficient package. The Aura's driving character will match its refined design, with a host of technologically sophisticated powertrains and a premium sport-sedan setup. Based on last year's concept car of the same name, the Aura blends Saturn's new European-influenced design and high levels of refinement with the brand's customer-focused purchase and ownership experience. Next to market is the all-new 2007 Aura midsize sedan, unveiled today. With the launch of the 2007 Sky this spring, Saturn kicks off its most extensive product revitalization to date.
