Saab has announced an all-new Saab 9-3 SportWagon, which takes Saab into the growing premium, mid-size estate car segment for the first time. Saab says that the new 9-3 SportWagon combines distinctive design with sporty driving dynamics.
Making its public debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show, with UK deliveries starting in early September, Saab says the SportWagon will appeal to customers who require the versatility of an estate, including smart load-carrying features and a generously proportioned cargo area, without compromising their desire for driving satisfaction.
Last year, Europe’s growing premium mid-size estate segment reached a quarter of a million units, with the UK accounting for almost 50,000 of these. Diesel engines accounted for 60 per cent of UK premium mid-size estate sales, and 70 per cent of overall European sales. In Europe the model will be known as the 9-3 SportCombi.
In addition to a seven-engine line-up, the Aero model will launch an all-new, high performance, 250 bhp, 24-valve, 2.8-litre V6 Turbo – the first in the segment to have a turbocharged six cylinder engine. The new V6 Turbo will also be available in the 9-3 Aero Sport Saloon and Convertible models from September.
