For Release:

October 18, 1999

DETROIT – The Saturn CV1 is an efficient

multi-function concept that explores a number of

design product innovations for Saturn’s expanding

lineup. The vehicle will act as a catalyst for

dialogue between Saturn and current or future

customers.

"Saturn’s mission is to develop friendly,

thoughtful, intuitive vehicles," said Kate Zak,

Saturn design manager. "The CV1-- which stands

for Saturn’s first concept vehicle --allows

customers to consider new features they’d like in

their next Saturn."

Designed for

maximum

versatility, the

Saturn CV1

features a flexible

interior that

offers spacious

seating for five,

plus two fold-down jump seats that are perfect for

kids. The rear seat slides and folds flat to

maximize passenger or cargo space. Unique

bi-fold doors allow easy access to the rear seats

and also make it easy to load bulky items into the

vehicle. The CV1 is designed to easily

accommodate child seats or a folded wheelchair,

increasing its appeal to a diverse range of

customers.

The CV1’s 2.2-liter dual overhead camshaft inline

four-cylinder engine meets ultra-low emission

vehicle standards. Teamed with an advanced

continuously variable transmission (CVT) and

all-wheel-drive, it provides exceptional

performance, all-weather security and high fuel

efficiency. Safety is enhanced with smart front and

side airbags, four-point restraints for the front

seats, run-flat tires and a center instrument pod

that places critical information closer to the

driver’s sight line. Unique storage systems and

innovative interior features bring the best of

modern industrial design to Saturn’s CV1, making

it a fun, functional place for the driver and

passengers.

"The Saturn CV1 is just one indication of the

innovation at Saturn as we expand our product

portfolio over the next decade," said Zak.
