The hybrid system in the Aura melds a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a four-speed automatic and an electric motor/generator. Essentially it’s the same powertrain as that found in the 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line. In the Aura it will be rated at 164 horsepower and 159 pound-feet of torque.
Standard features on the hybrid will include dual front, side, and curtain airbags, stability control and anti-lock brakes, and OnStar.
