The Saturn Ion, produced from 2003 to 2007, marked the brand's transition from the S-Series and was the last Saturn passenger car built at the iconic Spring Hill, Tennessee plant.
Performance-wise, the Ion offered a range of engine options, starting with a 2.2L DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) ECOTEC engine producing 140-145 horsepower and 145-150 lb-ft of torque.
In 2007, the high-performance Red Line trim introduced a 2.0L supercharged ECOTEC engine, delivering 205 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque, paired with a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission.
This made the Ion Red Line a standout in Saturn's lineup for its era.
