The 2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid shares much with the standard four-cylinder version of the Vue, a small crossover SUV, but it's fitted with a mild-hybrid powertrain and nickel-metal-hydride battery pack. The model was, prior to this year, called the Vue Green Line. The more advanced Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid model originally promised for 2009 will instead be arriving for 2010, alongside this existing Vue Hybrid model.
