2007 Saturn Relay Review
Saturn's minivans get a new base model and a more-powerful engine for 2007. Relay shares its basic front-wheel-drive design with the Buick Terraza and Chevrolet Uplander. Relay is not available with all-wheel drive or a load-leveling suspension for 2007. These minivans seat seven via 2nd-row bucket seats that fold and remove, and a 50/50 3rd-row bench that folds atop the cargo floor. Relay "2" and "3" trims are joined for '07 by the price-leader "1". A 240-hp 3.9-liter V6 engine replaces a 201-hp 3.5 V6 as the only engine. A 4-speed automatic remains the sole transmission. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. Front side airbags are standard on Relay 3, optional on 1 and 2. Side airbags for 2nd-row passengers are optional for 3, unavailable on other Relays. All the side airbags provide head and torso protection. Curtain side airbags are unavailable. Power operation for one or both sliding side doors is standard or optional, depending on model. DVD entertainment is standard on 2 and 3. Rear obstacle detection is also available. Relay's performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Uplanders.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Long the choice as a family hauler, Minivans are easily the smartest use of space for passengers and cargo. These vehicles offer a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and safety features for the modern family.

Our Best Buy is the Honda Odyssey. Our Recommended picks are the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, and Toyota Sienna.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Hyundai Entourage and Nissan Quest.
News
Relay is expected to fade out during model-year 2008, a victim of very slow sales. A replacement is rumored as a 2009 or 2010 model, though apparently not yet approved. Assuming it is, it would share the new GM Lambda platform with Saturn's 2007 Outlook crossover SUV, but differ in styling and perhaps mechanical features.
