Automatic headlamps
Automatic headlamps and
integrated child seat anchors and tethers head up the
list of new safety and security equipment that is also
standard on the 2002 Saturn L Series. In addition, if
an incident causes any of the vehicle’s air bags
to deploy, the car’s headlamps will continuously
flash as a distress signal and the interior dome lamp
will automatically come on to aid in exiting the vehicle.
These enhancements build
on standard safety features like safety cage construction,
dual frontal Reduced Force Air Bags, a safety belt system
designed to limit compression loads on the chest, and
daytime running lamps.
For the first time, L
Series customers have the option of OnStar, with its
safety and security benefits such as automatic air bag
deployment notification and emergency assistance with
remote location. OnStar’s newest services include
hands-free Personal Calling and Virtual Advisor, which
enables a customer to access Internet services such
as e-mail and updates on stocks, traffic and weather.
For more information about OnStar, see the "OnStar"
section of the Corporate press kit.
Outstanding value
L Series models feature
dent- and corrosion-resistant polymer front fenders
and door panels, as well as polymer bumpers front and
rear, to help keep the vehicles looking new for a longer
period of time, contributing to strong resale values.
Steel rear quarter panels are used to provide additional
structure for crashworthiness in the rear of the vehicle.
Excellent fuel economy
also contributes to making the L Series an outstanding
value. The L Series sedan, equipped with its standard
twin cam four-cylinder engine, was recognized as the
most fuel efficient vehicle with an automatic transmission
in its class by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy.
For 2002, new option
packaging brings additional value to L Series customers
who want uplevel amenities on their L200/300 and LW200/300
models. For example, the Sport Package provides fog
lamps, as well as a spoiler and sunroof on sedan models.
The package also includes new 16-inch chrome clad wheels
(available in early fall) on the L300 and LW300, and
new 15-inch alloy wheels on the L200 and LW200.
Also available are two
optional audio packages, one of them including the new
six-disc changer. A Comfort package features power seats
and the new automatic climate control. A Premium package
combines the Comfort, Audio II and Sport packages along
with a leather interior.
Driving performance
L Series customers can
still choose between two dual overhead camshaft engines
that deliver excellent response. Standard on the L100,
L200 and LW200 is a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine
that delivers 135 hp at 5200 rpm and 142 lb-ft of torque
at 4400 rpm. On the L300 and LW300, a 3.0-liter V6 provides
182 hp at 5600 rpm and 190 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm.
A five-speed manual transmission
is standard on the L200 and LW200, and is available
on the L100 in Canada only. A computer-controlled four-speed
automatic is optional on the L200 and LW200, and standard
on the L100, L300 and LW300. Four-wheel independent
suspension with four-link rear suspension contributes
to precise handling, with a high level of refinement.
