2007 Saturn Outlook Unknown

Unlike the Chevy Tahoe and TrailBlazer, this Outlook doesn't use a truck chassis, so it offers a smoother ride, less weight and nimbler handling. Called a crossover by industry observers, its chassis is more like that of a car even though it offers the passenger and cargo capacity of a big SUV. It offers comfortable seating for eight yet it gets an EPA-rated 18/26 miles per gallon City/Hwy with front-wheel drive. That's significantly better than what the truck-based SUVs get. Compared with the Honda Pilot, the Outlook offers significantly more horsepower, transmission sophistication, and interior room. Acceleration is good, its ride solid and comfortable, and its transmission smooth. The interior shows much attention to detail. The uplevel XR trim adds 18-inch machined alloy wheels, foglamps, wood grain interior trim, power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, and universal garage door opener....to an already long list of standard features! This vehicle demonstrates what GM engineers are capable of. It looks good, and it uses a strong V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. But its claim to fame at its introduction is that it offers the most legroom of any three-row SUV, while employing a system called Smart Slide that makes entry to the third row a snap.
