9-2X

Sharing platforms, powertrains, and components with the Subaru Impreza, the brand-new 9-2X is a premium-priced compact wagon that's designed to appeal to younger and/or more-active buyers than the typical Saab. While it incorporates distinctive Saab styling elements, its Subaru underpinnings dictate that the 9-2X becomes the first production Saab to come with standard all-wheel drive. Two versions are available: The base Linear model comes powered by a 165-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, while the high-performance Aero includes a quicker 227-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under its hood. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a four-speed automatic gearbox is optional across the line. Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution and a fully independent suspension system are included on both models. Also included are side-impact airbags, "active" head restraints, air conditioning, a CD stereo, keyless entry and a height-adjustable driver's seat. Available options include a power moonroof, heated leather seats, a CD changer, and xenon headlamps.
