The overview
The 2008 redesign included a better interior and a more supple ride. Higher quality materials improve the interior ambiance, but the front seats are somewhat uncomfortable. Standard ESC mitigated the tip up problem, but braking distances are inordinately long. The V6, paired with a six-speed automatic, is a good powertrain, but returns only17 mpg. Model year 2009 was the last for the Vue.

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.
