Saturn says the 2004 Vue can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 7 seconds, which is pretty quick (and about 1.5 seconds quicker than the 2003 model). Yet EPA fuel economy ratings remain unchanged (19/25 mpg for the AWD V6). Variable-valve timing enhances high-end power, low-end torque and fuel economy.
GM thinks at this point in the industryâs walk to a U.S. fuel-economy average of 54.5 mpg (4.3 L/100 km) by 2025, it doesnât need anything greater than a 6-speed transmission for trucks and sports cars because of their tremendous low-speed torque.
