European Debut for New Saab 9-4X Crossover

Saab’s first crossover vehicle, the 9-4X, would be to make its European premiere at this month’s Brussels Motor Show.
It will require center stage on the Saab stand alongside the brand new Saab 9-5 sedan, the latest 9-3 range with turbo diesels delivering class leading efficiency when it comes to low CO2 per unit of horsepower, and Saab’s first EV, the 9-3 ePower.Due to continue sale in Europe from August, the 9-4X continues the biggest cool product offensive in Saab’s history and will give the newly independent company access for the first time to the growing, mid-size crossover segment. It provides progressive design, comfort and versatility alongside car-like driving qualities and will provide a fresh, alternative option for buyers in the segment.
A selection of 9-3 models on display includes ultra-low emission Sport Sedans powered 1.9 turbo diesels giving just 119 g/km CO2 and up to 180 hp – an unrivalled level of efficient performance for the compact segment.
The Saab 9-3 ePower is the prototype for any test number of 70 vehicles which will participate in extensive field trials in Sweden this season. It’s a full-sized wagon having a projected 200 km driving range which pushes the boundaries of current EV performance.
“We are currently embarked on the biggest new product offensive in Saab’s history,” says Saab Automobile CEO Jan Åke Jonsson. “The launch of the 9-4X follows the introduction of the brand new 9-5 sedan just 6 months ago and also the arrival of the much-awaited 9-5 SportCombi later in the year. The Brussels Show is the start an incredibly busy year for us.”
