Generations

1 generation (1998–2004)

1 generation of the Saturn LW ran from 1998-01-01 to 2004-12-31. Body: Estate 5-door. Versions in this generation: 3 — 2.2 AT, 2.2 MT, 3.0 AT. All three share the same start and stop dates. There is no second generation in these data.

2.2 AT and 2.2 MT share the same 2198 cm³ engine figures (139 hp, 193 Nm, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 9.5, bore × stroke 86 × 94.6). They differ by gearbox: Automatic with 4 gears on 2.2 AT, Manual with 5 gears on 2.2 MT.

3.0 AT is the larger-engine Estate 5-door: 2962 cm³, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, 185 hp, 258 Nm, Automatic with 4 gears, FWD.

Saturn LW specs, engine, and versions

Engine layout on all three versions is Front, transverse. Injection on all three is Distributed injection (multi-point). Rear brakes on all three are Drum. Front brakes on all three are Ventilated disc. Front and rear suspension on all three: Independent, spring.

2.2 AT engine

2.2 AT: 139 hp (102 kW) at 5200 rpm, 193 Nm at 4400 rpm, 2198 cm³ Gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression ratio 9.5, bore × stroke 86 × 94.6, fuel 95, Automatic, 4 gears, FWD. This is the automatic 2.2-litre Saturn LW Estate 5-door.

2.2 MT engine

2.2 MT: 139 hp (102 kW) at 5200 rpm, 193 Nm at 4400 rpm, 2198 cm³ Gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression ratio 9.5, bore × stroke 86 × 94.6, fuel 95, Manual, 5 gears, FWD. Same engine numbers as 2.2 AT; the catalogue difference is the 5-speed Manual versus the 4-speed Automatic.

3.0 AT engine (Saturn LW300 engine searches)

3.0 AT: 185 hp (136 kW) at 5600 rpm, 258 Nm at 3600 rpm, 2962 cm³ Gasoline, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression ratio 10, bore × stroke 86 × 85, fuel 95, Automatic, 4 gears, FWD. Versus 2.2 AT, 3.0 AT has +46 hp, +34 kW, +65 Nm, and +764 cm³. Peak torque is listed at 3600 rpm on 3.0 AT versus 4400 rpm on both 2.2 versions.

Queries such as Saturn LW300 engine, 2003 Saturn LW300 engine, and 2002 Saturn LW300 engine correspond in this catalogue to 3.0 AT. Queries such as Saturn LW200 engine and 2003 Saturn LW200 engine correspond to 2.2 AT and 2.2 MT. The data do not split those engines by calendar year inside 1998–2004.

Performance, mpg, and fuel consumption

0–100 km/h, top speed, and consumption are measured in these data as follows. CO2 is not measured on any version.

2.2 MT reaches 100 km/h 0.3 s sooner than 2.2 AT (9.5 s vs 9.8 s). Top speed is the same: 170. Mixed consumption on 2.2 MT is 8.1 versus 8.4 on 2.2 AT (−0.3). City is 9.4 versus 9.8 (−0.4). Highway is 7.1 on both 2.2 versions.

3.0 AT is the quickest: 8.2 s to 100 km/h, which is 1.6 s quicker than 2.2 AT and 1.3 s quicker than 2.2 MT. Top speed is 185, which is 15 above both 2.2 versions. Mixed consumption is 9.4, which is 1.0 above 2.2 AT and 1.3 above 2.2 MT. City on 3.0 AT is 11.2 (1.4 above 2.2 AT, 1.8 above 2.2 MT). Highway is 8.1 (1.0 above the 7.1 of both 2.2 versions).

Saturn LW200 mpg and Saturn LW300 mpg searches: in these data the mixed figures are 8.4 (2.2 AT), 8.1 (2.2 MT), and 9.4 (3.0 AT). Units are as given in the source (city / highway / mixed). There is no separate mpg column and no year-by-year mpg split for 2001, 2002, or 2003.

With a 60 L tank and mixed 8.1, 2.2 MT is the lowest mixed figure in the set. 3.0 AT uses the same 60 L tank with mixed 9.4.

Dimensions, weight, and ground clearance

Wheel sizes are not measured on any version. Gross weight is not measured on any version.

2.2 AT and 2.2 MT kerb weight is 1395. 3.0 AT kerb weight is 1485, which is 90 more than the 2.2 versions. Ground clearance is 145 mm on all three. For 2002 Saturn LW200 weight searches, the catalogue value is 1395 kerb on 2.2 AT and 2.2 MT; 3.0 AT is 1485.

Saturn LW reliability and what the specs show

These data do not include failure rates, recall lists, or owner-survey scores. Saturn LW300 reliability, 2003 Saturn LW300 reliability, 2002 Saturn LW300 reliability, and 2001 Saturn LW300 reliability are therefore not measured here. What is measured is the mechanical specification that stays the same across 1998-01-01 to 2004-12-31 for each named version.

Shared across all three: Gasoline, fuel 95, FWD, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), boost No, Independent, spring front and rear, Ventilated disc front, Drum rear, 145 mm clearance, 60 L tank.

2.2 AT and 2.2 MT share 9.5 compression, 86 × 94.6 bore × stroke, 4 Inline cylinders, 139 hp, 193 Nm. 3.0 AT uses compression 10, 86 × 85, 6 V-shaped cylinders, 185 hp, 258 Nm, and 90 kg more kerb weight. Those are the only reliability-adjacent facts in the source: higher output and kerb on 3.0 AT, fewer gears on both Automatic versions (4) than on 2.2 MT (5).

Which version to choose

Use the three catalogue names as they stand.

Choose 2.2 MT if the priority is the lowest mixed figure and the shortest 0–100 among the 2.2 pair: 8.1 mixed, 9.4 city, 7.1 highway, 9.5 s to 100 km/h, 170 top speed, 1395 kerb, Manual 5 gears, FWD, 139 hp / 193 Nm from 2198 cm³. Versus 2.2 AT it is 0.3 s quicker to 100 km/h and 0.3 lower on mixed, with the same 170 top speed and the same 1395 kerb.

Choose 2.2 AT if the same 2198 cm³, 139 hp, 193 Nm engine is required with Automatic 4 gears: 9.8 s to 100 km/h, 170 top speed, mixed 8.4, city 9.8, highway 7.1, kerb 1395. Versus 2.2 MT, mixed is 0.3 higher and 0–100 is 0.3 s slower. Versus 3.0 AT, mixed is 1.0 lower, city is 1.4 lower, highway is 1.0 lower, 0–100 is 1.6 s slower, top speed is 15 lower, and kerb is 90 lower.

Choose 3.0 AT if the priority is output and 0–100: 185 hp (136 kW) at 5600 rpm, 258 Nm at 3600 rpm, 2962 cm³, 6 cylinders V-shaped, Automatic 4, FWD, 8.2 s to 100 km/h, 185 top speed. That is +46 hp and +65 Nm versus either 2.2 version, and 1.3–1.6 s quicker to 100 km/h. The cost in these figures is mixed 9.4 (versus 8.1–8.4), city 11.2, highway 8.1, and kerb 1485.

All three are Estate 5-door, Gasoline, 95 fuel, FWD, 60 L tank, 145 mm clearance, wheels not measured, gross weight not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured. There is only 1 generation, 1998–2004.
