Saab is to give its new 9-4X crossover a world premiere at the LA Show next month.
The 9-4X expands Saab’s product portfolio to three car lines and is seen as an important product element in the company’s renaissance. The 9-4X goes on sale next year and is followed by an all-new Saab 9-3 in 2012.

Car-like driving dynamics are supported by Saab’s all-wheel-drive system, XWD, and DriveSense adaptive chassis control. There will be a V6 turbocharged engine. The 300 hp, 2.8-litre twin-scroll turbocharging engine is mated to six-speed automatic transmissions under adaptive electronic control.
“The 9-4X significantly broadens the appeal of the Saab brand,” says Saab Automobile CEO Jan Åke Jonsson.
“It gives us entry to the fast-growing crossover segment with a vehicle that reflects our brand values in key areas, such as progressive Scandinavian design and sporty, responsible driving performance. The 9-4X is an exciting package and we’re confident it will appeal to many existing Saab owners, as well as win new customers for the brand.”
The 9-4X goes on sale in North America in May next year, with sales in Europe and other global markets due to begin from August. UK sales start late in 2011.
