Click to enlarge. 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line FAQs The 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line requires a $2,000 premium over the regular Vue and carries an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on its battery pack.

How does the 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line measure up against other hybrid SUVs?
During the press event Saturn representatives discussed a third-party test of four hybrid SUVs: Saturn Vue Green Line, Ford Escape Hybrid, Lexus RX 400h, and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. As expected, the Green Line beat them all in terms of price (about $3,000 less than the Escape and $22,000 less than the Lexus). The Green Line also did well in terms of real-world fuel economy, measuring 29.7 mpg in combined driving versus 31.6 for the Ford, 30.5 for the Toyota, and 28.9 for the Lexus. That information is useful for a general comparison, though we should note that our own tests of the Ford Escape and Toyota Highlander resulted in significantly lower numbers.

Is there a specific warranty on the Saturn Vue Green Line’s hybrid battery pack?
Yes. The battery pack is covered by an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.

What is the price difference between the Saturn Vue Green Line and a regular Saturn Vue?
There’s a premium of about $2,000 for the 2007 Green Line when the regular Vue is comparably equipped with optional alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, ABS, and chrome fascia trim.
