About this generation

Saturn introduced the second generation Vue in 2007 for the 2008 model year, manufactured at Ramos Arizpe Assembly in Mexico as a rebranded version of the German-designed Opel Antara. The front end featured a large chrome trim on the grille with "teardrop-shaped" headlights. The roof sloped downward to an angled rear hatch. GM badges were featured on the front doors. ; 2008: The 2008 Vue was available in four trim levels: base XE, midgrade XR, top-of-the-line Red Line, and a Green Line hybrid.

The XE included 16-inch wheels, body-colored door handles, and side mirrors, while the XR added chrome door handles, chrome-tipped dual exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Engine options included a 2.4 L I4, hybrid 2.4 L I4, 3.5 L V6, or a 3.6 L V6. The V6 versions of the Vue come with conventional hydraulic power steering, replacing the previous electric assist; however, the I4-powered cars continued with electric power.

The Mexican-manufactured Vue was also marketed in Mexico and South America as the Chevrolet Captiva Sport, with only badges changed and a new grille insert. ; 2009: Three trim levels: base XE, midgrade XR, and Red Line. The XE included 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, a tilt steering wheel with audio controls and cruise control, a height-adjustable driver seat, and a CD/MP3 stereo with satellite radio. The XR added 17-inch alloy wheels, luggage rack rails, automatic climate control, a power driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth, and heated side mirrors.

The Red Line featured 18-inch alloy wheels, a lowered suspension, a roof-mounted spoiler, chrome exhaust tips, and heated front seats with leather and suede upholstery. ; 2010: 2010 Saturn Vue was available in two trims, the base XE and the XR. Both were available with a I4 or a V6 engine, as well as front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Vue Hybrid was equipped similarly to the XE Preferred package and available only with front-wheel drive powered by the 2.4 L I4 gas/electric engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
