New Saab 9-3 range debuts for 2008 Model Year
Sharper Looks Showcase Enhanced Performance
Inspired by the award-winning Aero X concept car, the new Saab 9-3 range will feature bold styling and cutting edge technology for greater driving appeal.
With all-new front bodywork, âsignatureâ lighting, new door panels and rear styling features, the latest generation 9-3 acquires a more focused, assertive stance, reflecting the introduction of technical advances aimed at delivering an even more rewarding experience behind the wheel.
All new 9-3s are immediately recognizable by the sharper frontal styling, which adopts fascia, grille and surfacing themes first seen on the Aero X concept, together with a return of Saabâs classic âclamshellâ hood design â first seen in the iconic 1967 Saab 99. The 9-3âs new âfaceâ is reinforced by other exterior changes that all combine to give the range a clearer, more distinctive Saab identity.
âWe are introducing significant developments across three key areas: design, performance and handling,â says Jan Ãke Jonsson, managing director of Saab Automobile worldwide. âThe result is a major step forward in strengthening the visual and driving appeal of our core product line-up, which accounts for about two-thirds of Saabâs global sales.â
The new 9-3 portfolio continues to include Sport Sedan, SportCombi and Convertible models. Available as the 2.0T and 2.8 V6 Aero, the range is expected in United States showrooms this fall.
