Saturn VUE 1st Gen

2001 – 2007

The Saturn Vue was a popular compact SUV produced and marketed by Saturn, known for being the brand's best-selling model. It debuted in 2001 for the 2002 model year as the first vehicle to utilize the GM Theta platform. The Vue underwent a facelift in 2006 to refresh its design and features. In 2007, Saturn introduced the second generation of the Vue for the 2008 model year, rebranding it as the Opel Antara for some markets. This transition aimed to offer consumers updated technology and design elements. However, the Vue's production in North America came to an end following General Motors' 2009 Chapter 11 reorganization, which led to the discontinuation of the Saturn brand. This marked the end of an era for the popular model, leaving a void in the compact SUV lineup for Saturn enthusiasts.
