Saturn Relay

The Saturn Relay is a minivan from General Motors' Saturn brand that was introduced in 2005. The Relay is built alongside its sisters, the Buick Terraza, the Chevrolet Uplander, and the Pontiac Montana SV6 in Doraville, Georgia. The Relay is the first Saturn vehicle without polymer side paneling.

The Relay was introduced with a 3.5 L High Value 3500 LX9 V6 that generates 200 hp (149 kW) and 220 ft·lbf (298 N·m) torque, going from 0-60 mph in 10.2 seconds. A 3.9-liter V6 replaces it for the 2007 model year. The Relay scored three "Good"s (the highest possible score) and two "acceptable"s (the second highest possible score) in IIHS crash tests. In terms of gas mileage, the Relay is rated at 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway.

The Relay starts at $22,850. There are three available trim levels, 2FWD, 3FWD, and 3AWD. All Relays seat seven via folding/removable 2nd row captains chairs and a 50/50 3rd row bench. The 3rd row bench folds flat but does not fold entirely into the floor. OnStar assistance and a DVD rear entertainment system come standard on all Relays. A navigation system is optional on Relay 3s. Front side airbags are standard on 3s and optional for the 2. Second-row side airbags optional on all models.
