The overview

The Outlook is a large, car-based SUV introduced for 2007. It can seat eight passengers, or seven when equipped with second-row captain's chairs. A comfortable ride and responsive handling are strong suits. The interior is quiet and well made, but some drivers found the head restraints uncomfortable. The third-row seat is roomy enough for adults, so long as the second-row seats are moved forward. The 3.6-liter V6 engine is smooth and refined. Its six-speed automatic transmission hesitated to downshift in our test car, but later versions have better tuning. Along with the rest of Saturn, the Outlook disappeared after the 2009 model year.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
