Go green!
Notable: It's a light gasoline-electric hybrid
- meaning that it never operates in electric-only mode - but it does
have all of the other fuel-saving benefits of a hybrid vehicle.
Approximate
20 percent increase in fuel economy. This is not an off-road vehicle,
it's a modern crossover station wagon replacement. In
this role it shines. It's compact and easy to park on
the outside, and roomy and versatile inside.
This van
has a lot going for it. Come in and test drive!
APPEARANCE: The Vue is - a friendly
family vehicle with no phony macho pretentions. Only badging - small
"Hybrid" emblems on the lower front doors and tailgate - differentiates
the Greenline from the regular Vue. In either case, a Vue is a
handsomely functional small crossover SUV with a two-box design
modified a bit by styling that gently rounds the corners and edges and
adds a sporty touch with a profile that rises toward the rear and also
features prominent but not overdone fender flares. The hood is gently
sculpted, and the front panel features a small chrome-trimmed grille
between wide, faired headlights and a larger opening lower in the
bumper. There is a small visor over the rear window, and rear styling
is generally simple, with rectangular taillights and a small chrome
garnish piece over the license plate.
COMFORT: Form
follows function. In style, the Vue Greeline is pleasantly
contemporary, but still very functional. The chrome-bezeled
instruments are shielded from glare by a prominent brow, and the audio
and climate system controls are in a center stack that extends into a
lower console for the shifter and power window and mirror controls. A
proper console between the front seats has storage and cupholders.
Chrome plastic trim in the door handles and around the stack adds
interest. Cruise and auxiliary audio controls are found on the
tilt-adjustable steering wheel. The standard AM/FM/6CD audio system
only plays regular CDs, but an auxiliary jack near the front power
point is there for use with external music players. The front buckets
provide decent support and comfort, and visibility from the driver's
seat was good. The front seats are manually-adjustable. A flat floor,
good knee and shoulder room, and excellent head room distinguish the
rear seat. It folds with a 70/30 split for convenience - and the front
passenger seat can fold flat, forward, so very long items can be
carried inside.
SAFETY: The
Vue has five-star ratings in Federal tests for both front and rear
passengers in front and side impacts. It's built with safety cage and
crumple zone construction, and comes with standard dual front airbags
and integrated safety belt pretensioners.
RIDE AND HANDLING:
On the road, the Vue is a pleasant crossover vehicle. It feels like a
tall midsize, middle-class, mainstream car, not a truck, and the
fully-independent strut front, multilink rear suspension is firm enough
for good handling characteristics while still providing a comfortable
ride. The electric power steering system has a reasonable touch,
neither too light for control at speed nor too heavy for ease of
driving around town.
This is a Bank Repo
