2007 Saturn Aura
The Aura is a sedan produced by General Motors' Saturn brand. It debuted as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in January 2005. The production model of the Aura was shown at the 2006 New York Auto Show in April, with production commencing in the summer of 2006 for the 2007 model year. The Aura replaces the Saturn L-series, which had seen lackluster sales and was cancelled with the 2005 model year.
The concept used a 252 hp (186 kW) 3.6 L V6 and a new 6T70 6-speed automatic transmission. That powertrain, along with a 224 hp (167 kW) 3.5 L V6 and hybrid 170 hp (127 kW) 2.4 L I4 are offered in the production models as the XR, XE, and Green Line versions, respectively.
