Vue Hybrid Offers Reasonable Power (Visit this link)
A 2.4-liter inline-4 cylinder engine develops 172 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 167 pounds-feet of torque at 4500 rpm. It is mated to an electric motor/generator, which provides electric power assist to save fuel. The regenerative braking captures energy as the vehicle slows or stops. The energy is sent to the battery and used later for acceleration assist. An electric power-assisted, rack-and-pinion steering system guides the SUV, equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. The front gets an independent strut-type suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar while the rear has a multilink independent suspension made of a trailing arm with three lateral locating links, coil springs and stabilizer bar. Stopping abilities are left up to the capable 11.7-inch front and 11.9-inch rear vented discs. The Vue boasts a turning curb-to-curb circle of 40 feet, quite impressive for an SUV.
