The Northstar engine is a family of high-performance 90° V engines produced by General Motors between 1993 and 2011.

1994–2005 Opel 54-Degree L81 V6 (used in the Saturn Vue, Cadillac Catera and Saturn L series) 1995–present Suzuki H (used in several models built for GM by Suzuki) 2004–2007 Honda J (used in the Saturn Vue) 1998–2002 Shortstar LX5 (based on the Northstar V8) 2003–2011 GM High Value (an evolution of the Chevrolet 60-Degree V6)
