By all indications, the 2007 Saturn Outlook will make a great family vehicle. It seats up to eight people, with 19.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row seat when it’s in use – a surprising figure for any SUV. The cargo space is cube shaped, and includes a covered convenience center under a panel in the load floor. Saturn says that adults will be comfortable in the third-row seat, and has designed an articulating Smart Slide second-row seat to make access and exit easier. Buyers can choose the standard 60/40 split folding bench for the second row, or available bucket seats.

Available features on the 2007 Saturn Outlook include leather upholstery, a DVD navigation system, and a DVD entertainment system with rear input jacks and a 110-volt outlet. You can also get an ultrasonic parking assist system, a power liftgate, remote vehicle starting, and a heated washer fluid reservoir. In terms of safety equipment, the Outlook comes with standard dual-stage front, front side impact, and side curtain airbags for all three rows; GM’s rollover sensing system keeps the airbags inflated longer in that kind of wreck. And if you do have an accident, the Outlook includes OnStar communications with a free one-year Safe and Sound plan that features Advanced Automatic Crash Notification when the airbags deploy to help get rescue teams to you sooner.
