This expressive, jewel-like design feature shared among Saturn’s newest models adds a sense of motion to the vehicle, even when stationary. “From the detailed lighting elements to the edginess of the silhouette, the Aura demonstrates a revitalized emphasis on style and performance.”Īura’s premium design cues include halogen headlamps covered in clear housings that wrap upward and around the corners of the vehicle. “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.
