Vue the best hybrid SUV deals

A plug-in version of the Saturn Vue hybrid

So, you're in the market for an SUV. And, despite higher than normal fuel prices, you're not sure whether a hybrid version is the right move. According to Intellichoice the answer to that question is clear.

Hybrid SUVs are more cost effective than their conventional cousins. After 5 years the Saturn Vue hybrid will save $3,797 over a conventional Vue. The Chevy Tahoe hybrid will save $3,733. The Ford Escape hybrid will save $2,489. The Toyota Highlander hybrid will save $1,360.

Now that doesn't mean the Saturn Vue hybrid is the best deal amongst hybrid SUVs. If you drive in heavy city traffic, for example, the Escape hybrid is a better deal. Still, if you're in the market for an SUV, and you've contemplated one of the four SUV models above, then the hybrid version is the way to go.

and i'd add that the saturn vue dual mode hybrid is soon to be released.

i have very high expectations for this vehicle. still, pricing will be critical to the cost-effectiveness of this vehicle. if priced correctly, i believe the vue dual mode hybrid could become the overall best hybrid suv available.
