Saturn ION Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2003–2007) — First Generation
The first-generation Saturn ION offers Coupe and Sedan body styles. Alongside your preferred body shape, consider the transmission: it influences how involved you are in everyday driving.
Saturn ION engine and transmission choices include the gasoline, front-wheel-drive 2.0 MT Coupe, 2.2 CVT Coupe and 2.2 AT Sedan. The manual gives you control over gear selection, while the automatic handles shifts for you. The CVT adjusts its ratio continuously, so acceleration can feel different from a transmission with fixed gears.
