All-New Saturn Outlook Priced Under GMC Acadia

The price points we guessed at for GM’s new trio of full-size crossovers seem to be coming true. Saturn’s upcoming Outlook — out near the end of the year — will start at $27,990. That’s a full $2,000 less than the GMC Acadia.

The $27,990 price is for the front-wheel-drive base model, dubbed the XE. An all-wheel-drive XE starts at $29,990. The XE comes with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 270 hp and 248 pounds-feet of torque. There’s also an uplevel XR with the same engine but dual exhausts and slightly more power — 275 hp and 251 pounds-feet of torque. Both models also feature a six-speed automatic transmission. Prices for the XR are $30,290 for the front-wheel-drive model and $32,290 for all-wheel drive. All prices include a $735 destination charge.

EPA mileage estimates were also revealed, at 18/26 mpg city/highway for front-wheel drive and 17/24 mpg for all-wheel drive. These numbers are on par with popular and less-powerful minivans like the Honda Odyssey.

All Outlooks come standard with stability control, side curtain airbags for all three rows and rollover sensors. Like the GMC Acadia, we think the Outlook will appeal to those looking for a minivan alternative. Because of its lower entry price, the Outlook may be GM’s most popular crossover.
