This fall the
Swedish automaker will get its first-ever SUV. The
9-7X
is a midsize SUV that shares a basic platform with the
Chevrolet
TrailBlazer (Saab
is owned by General Motors.) The 9-7X�s styling shares a number of
styling cues with the rest of the Saab lineup, including the signature
three-port grille, wraparound rear quarter windows and brand-distinctive
wheels. The interior reflects the Saab look, with the ignition in the
center console�the traditional location for Saab cars. All-wheel
drive will be standard on the 9-7X, as will 18-inch wheels with
all-season high-performance tires, 4-wheel disc brakes, dual-piston
calipers, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and a rollover sensing system. Two
engines will be available, including a 300-horsepower V8. If the 9-7X is
too big. Saab is also offering a new wagon built on the 9-3 platform. Called the 9-3 SportCombi, the sporty wagon offers considerable cargo capacity with the fun-to-drive qualities of its sedan sibling. |
