A 2.2-liter, 4-cylinder engine that uses a dual-overhead-cam and four valves per cylinder. Two counter-rotating balance shafts smooth out engine vibrations and reduce noise.

The manual transmission on our L-Series uses wide-ratio gear sets to optimize fuel economy. Plus, they're "fill-for-life," so there's no scheduled maintenance to worry about.

All Saturn models are designed with four-wheel independent suspension, which offers excellent control of vibration and body pitch and roll in order to give you a comfortable ride.

More dent-resistant than steel, these flexible panels ward off nicks and dings. They don't rust or corrode and can help keep your car looking newer longer.

All Saturns come equipped with reflector-optics halogen headlights. Halogen light is whiter and provides greater visibility than traditional incandescent lamps.

All Saturn cars have daytime running lamps that are activated when the car's ignition is on. They help other drivers see a Saturn easily, and can reduce the likelihood of an accident.

A pollen/dust filter helps to remove dust, pollen and other airborne pollutants before they reach the passenger compartment.

Cruise control lets you cruise down the road at a speed of 25 mph or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator.

With seatbacks that split 60/40 and fold down, you can reserve the whole back seat for luggage or pets--or leave one seat intact for a passenger.

Electronically tuned radio with in-dash CD player and digital clock and eight speakers.

This system alerts you with a "Change Oil Soon" indicator when your oil has depleted 90% of its usable life.

Some child-restraint designs require a place to anchor the strap to the vehicle. Saturn has installed top tether anchors in all its models.

When somebody tries to tamper with your ignition, this theft-deterrent feature responds by disabling the fuel system and preventing the car from starting for a period of 30 minutes.

Every Saturn has "crumple zones," areas specially designed to crumple upon impact, thereby helping to absorb and dissipate the force of front or rear end crashes.

Our front safety belts feature load-limiting retractors that limit the maximum amount of force on a person's chest during a crash, helping to reduce the risk of chest injuries.

Saturn's rear seats have been specially designed with ramps that help prevent smaller passengers from "submarining," or sliding beneath the lap belt in the event of a crash. (SL2 with Leather Appointments shown.)

Saturn's Reduced Force Air Bags are designed to work with safety belts and child restraints to protect passengers during moderate to severe frontal collisions.

In the side doors, every Saturn has steel beams and cross bracing within the door frames to help maintain the vehicle's structural integrity and stiffness in a side collision.

The rigid central structure of every Saturn, the modified steel spaceframe helps improve crashworthiness by strategically crumpling in the front and rear.

Our front safety belts feature load-limiting retractors that limit the maximum amount of force on a person's chest during a crash, helping to reduce the risk of chest injuries.

The glow in the dark trap-resistant handle helps prevent children from getting trapped inside of the trunk. The latch is designed to stop the trunk from closing unless the latch is manually reset twice.

All Saturn cars have daytime running lamps that are activated when the car's ignition is on. They help other drivers see a Saturn easily, and can reduce the likelihood of an accident.
