The Vue offers three engines, two automatic transmissions and multiple trim levels, including a mild hybrid called the Green Line and a sporty Red Line. The 2009 Vue, out next summer, will offer GM's more robust two-mode hybrid system, promising a 45 percent improvement in fuel economy. Further in the future, GM plans to configure the Vue as a plug-in hybrid. The basic front-drive XE version employs a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with 169 horsepower and a four-speed automatic. The XE with all-wheel drive gets a 222-horsepower 3.5-liter pushrod V-6 and six forward speeds. Finally, the XR and Red Line models get a 3.6-liter overhead-cam V-6 with variable valve timing and a whomping 257 horsepower — enough to challenge the burliest model in the class, the 269-horsepower RAV-4.
