The Saturn LS1 emerged as the first vehicle in the L-series lineup from Saturn following its line of S-series compact cars. As a standard production model the Saturn LS1 used its 2.2L SOHC engine as its base power source yet later versions featured the performance-boosted 2.2L DOHC LL0 engine option. The Saturn LS1 received its framework from the Z-body platform that delivered light weighting to both operational capability and driving quality. A combination between the MP2 manual and the MP6 automatic transmission allows the LS1 model to shake smoothly while offering immediate acceleration performance. Standard dual side mirrors along with a sleek functional design came with the Saturn LS1 which used polymer side panels that provided resistance to dents and rust for enhanced durability. Inside the L's cabin you will find essential features such as an AM/FM radio but the lower cloth seats became more sophisticated with power locks and windows in the second generation upgrade. Highway-trailable driving gives the LS1 a 384-mile fuel range from its 15.5-gallon fuel tank which proves this model is both efficient and practical. As the LS1 became Saturn's debut mid-size sedan model it established the L-series brand which later included related products under the same name. The owners of Saturn LS1 vehicles should trust only genuine components for maintenance since these parts meet strict manufacturing requirements and offer warranty guarantees with longer operational lifetime.
