What Changed

The new VUE has changed very little in size, but now features a stylish exterior and interior that is a clean break from the plastic body-paneled VUEs of the past. The VUE range still includes a choice of FWD and AWD models powered by four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. A Green Line hybrid version is still offered as is the Red Line performance model. The newfound style and sophistication has come at a cost. Pricing for the VUE is up about $3,000 across the board.
