What is the difference between saturn aura xe and xr

Saturn has also upgraded the four-cylinder's transmission, from a four-speed automatic to an advanced six-speed auto. Efficiency has risen as a result, and the four-cylinder Aura's fuel economy is now at the top of the midsize sedan segment.

The powerful 3. Going with the four-cylinder XR gets you inch alloy wheels, remote vehicle start, foglamps, leather seating, a power driver seat, heated front seats, Bluetooth and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls.

The XR V6 is very similar but has inch alloys, automatic climate control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a compass. Most of these features are available for the XE model as part of options packages. On the XR only, you can also get an eight-speaker audio system with redundant rear-seat audio controls and two sets of wireless headphones , a six-CD changer and a power passenger seat.

A sunroof is available for all Auras as an option. Visit golftango's homepage! Find More Posts by MightyLampshade. Find More Posts by onefunkar. Find More Posts by gpartrid.

The articulation of the dash outside of the simple bezels is a little weird, I agree. I'd like to see how the 3. I believe it pumps out ponies in this rendition. Question: is this EPS - electric power steering or hydraulic belt-driven? I don't know if I could go for one. There's an austerity to it that doesn't suit me but I respect the achievement and wish it fetches many unit sales for our beloved GM.

I didn't think dual zone climate control was available on the Aura? I only see single-zone auto climate control in the pictures. Nice rightup otherwise Great to have pictures! I might check out the XR when I look at cars. We know we are in for something great One thing, that is I do not believe,as indicated in the review, that the Aura has dual climate system. I think it is single. I still think the interior leaves a lot to be desired The metallic trim, however, goes a long way to improving this aspect and is much more tasteful than the wood trim.

You have to remember that auto manufacturers have a constant challenge to reduce build combinations Anywhere GM can reduce a build combination is big.

In this case, the vast majority of the people would want a sunroof IF they had leather. While there may be people that want a sunroof with cloth, if you look at the competition, just about everyone hard-packages a sunroof if the car has leather in it I came back from Florida yesterday, and I miss it already.

There are lots of material changes and cutlines coming together in pinpoint spots on the nicely sculpted and textured doors and GM pretty much nails it. Its insane how good they got these transitions. I do agree that the ribbed plastic on the gauges is a bit cheaply done. Does it flop in turns?

Are the tapshifts jerky? Understeer or oversteer? Voce ficou em Florida? Que sorte! Em cual cidade? Nice write-up Fly. I would buy a red XE with cloth, moonroof and 3. I wish Saturn would put a center rear armrest in the base models to give it that more upscale feel like it's competitors do. Otherwise this car is a hit. I really like the Aura but the more I see of it in pictures the less impressed with the interior I get.

I guess because GM seem to be using this same centerstack in everyone of their new vehicles that the interior has lost some unigueness. I'm really liking the Bronzed Pewter the best so far.

The Red is nice but I have a dark red car now and need a change. I'm concerned over the trunk opening. With a young child, I need to be able to load in a stroller and other stuff easily. I also still don't like the guages and guage surround very much.

As someone said, I find them to be too small and the ribbed pattern does look cheap and boring. Also it does not appear the Saturn website is correct or complete yet. When I try to build an Aura, no matter what exterior color I choose, there is no option for Tan or Gray interior. Yet of all the pictures we've seen and the ones I saw in person here, that is all that is shown.

With the Bronze Pewter exterior, the only interior I would want is the tan or the 2-tone shown in the pictures. However I want the metallic trim. I can't seem to find any info though on if the metallic trim is privy to only certain interior colrs, certain trim level, or up to the buyer?

You will never know when auto stores stop selling parts for discontinued cars, so you should have something in store to use when your car has an issue in the future. However, when you have a car that came from a defunct car company, it will be much harder to find parts and accessories.

Instead, you can shop for used parts from online marketplaces or your local wreckers. If all else fails, you could try to buy end-of-life Oldsmobile models and scavenge them for parts.
