The distinctive frontal styling, inspired by Saab’s award-winning Aero X concept car, is designed to reinforce the range’s sporty appeal. It heralds the introduction of a ‘tri-fuel’ engine line-up that now includes, an innovative 180 hp (132 kW), two-stage 1.9 turbo diesel, an uprated 280 hp(206 kW), 2.8V6 turbo gasoline engine and an additional 175 hp 2.0t Saab BioPower option, delivering 200 hp (147 kW) on E85 fuel.
The advanced all-wheel-drive system (Saab XWD - ‘cross wheel drive’) is exclusive to the Turbo X Limited Edition (see separate release) and 9-3 Aero Sport Sedan and SportCombi models. It features innovative developments in wheel slip management and the use of an electronically-controlled rear limited-slip differential.
The new 1.9-liter two-stage turbo diesel offers class-leading efficiency and is the first dieselengine in the premium segment to use an integrated two-stage tubocharging system.
Dynamic, cohesive looks with new front, rear and side aspects - Frontal styling inspired by Aero X concept - ‘Clamshell’ hood, clean body surfaces, smoked white rear light lensesThe new 9-3 range is visually distinguished by all-new bodywork forward of the A-pillar, with new bumper moldings and light assemblies front and rear, as well as new doors and handles for the Sport Sedan and SportCombi. Flared side sill extensions become standard across the range. All these elements combine to give the car a clearer Saab identity and a bolder, more assertive stance. For the Sport Sedan, for example, 70% of the external body panels and parts are all-new.
