The Relay is an important product in Saturn's current portfolio offering vehicles that fill the needs of diverse customers. For 2006, Saturn adds more power and safety features to its SUV-inspired, seven-passenger Relay. With seating for up to seven, the Relay broke new ground when it debuted last year as Saturn's first vehicle to seat more than five. The Relay lineup continues in 2006 with front-wheel drive passenger models available in Relay 2 and Relay 3 trim levels, as well as the uplevel Relay 3 with all-wheel drive. The Relay maintains several safety and security enhancements for 2006, including optional second-row side-impact air bags (first-row side air bags are standard on the Relay 3, available on the Relay 2). GM's Passenger Sensing System, which helps reduce the risk of air bag inflation injury to smaller front-seat passengers, also is standard, as is the OnStar safety and security system. The Relay is also distinguished by its wide choice of passenger entertainment choices, including the optional Mobile Digital Media Powered by PhatNoise system that allows customers to store hundreds of hours of music, video and entertainment files on a removable 40-gigabyte hard drive cartridge. Later in the 2005, customers can choose a more powerful 3.9L V-6 on the Relay 3 FWD, delivering 235 horsepower (175 kw) and 239 lb.-ft. (324 Nm) of torque. The 3.9L V-6 is an all-new, sophisticated engine that uses variable valve timing and active intake technology to ensure optimal performance and economy. The standard engine is the 3.5L V-6, which is rated at 201 horsepower (150 kw) and 216 lb.-ft. (293 Nm) of torque (FWD). Both are coupled to GMs proven Hydra-Matic 4T65-E electronically controlled automatic overdrive transaxle. A power-sliding driver-side door and Ultrasonic Park Assist are available on the Relay 3 as part of a new Convenience Package. A power-sliding passenger-side door is now standard on the Relay 3.
