Self-dimming theater lighting enhances the premium feel and provides added convenience at night.Īura's front reclining bucket seats are designed to provide firm support and comfort on long drives. LEDs are also used for ambient light projected from the overhead lamp and door pocket lamps. The gauge cluster uses LED-lit analog instruments, with amber lighting and animation at startup. Select use of chrome trim also accents the interior. The interior trim flows across the instrument panel and wraps around onto the door panels for a more integrated appearance. Premium materials with low-gloss appearance and tight tolerances throughout exhibit excellent fit and finish, while two-tone color combinations for the trim and upholstery exude contemporary style. XR models come with 18-inch polished, 14-spoke cast aluminum wheels and performance tires.Īura is available in nine exterior colors: Berry Red, Black Onyx, Bronzed Pewter, Cream White, Golden Cashmere, Midnight Blue, Ocean Mist, Silver Pearl and Techno GreyĪ major focus of the Aura's design is its refined interior, which sets a new standard for the Saturn brand.

SATURN AURA DRIVERS
LED lamps illuminate more quickly than conventional incandescent bulbs, which can allow drivers behind the Aura to react sooner when they see the brake lamps.Īdditional design details include a radio antenna integrated in the rear window, for a sleeker overall appearance, and a chrome appearance for the door handles on XR models. At the rear of the vehicle, LED tail lamps are employed to enhance Aura's technical ethic while also providing an extra measure of safety. 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. Based on last year's concept car of the same name, the Aura blends Saturn's new European-influenced design and high levels of refinement with the brand's customer-focused purchase and ownership experience. Next to market is the all-new 2007 Aura midsize sedan, unveiled today. With the launch of the 2007 Sky this spring, Saturn kicks off its most extensive product revitalization to date.
