9-7X

Saab finally joins in the sport-utility vehicle fray in the spring of 2005 with the introduction of the 9-7X (leaving Audi, Jaguar, and MINI as the only major holdouts in theU.S. market not to offer a SUV). This will be the costliest version of the models that are otherwise marketed as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, and Isuzu Ascender. It will be fitted with Saab-specific styling cues and other details, such as an ignition that's located in the center console behind the gear lever. As with its other General Motors-related iterations, power comes from a 275-horsepower 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine; a high-torque 290-horsepower V-8 powerplant is also available for added muscle. Both engines are fitted to a four-speed automatic, and a fully automatic all-wheel drive system with a limited-slip rear differential comes standard. The vehicle also includes anti-lock brakes and rear-wheel electronic traction assist, a fully independent suspension with electronically controlled air shocks in the rear, 18-inch wheels and tires, and a state-of-the-art audio system.

Preview: 2005 Saab 9-7X by Henny Hemmes (4/5/2004)
The Swedes' first SUV comes from America - but does its soul still reside in Trolhattan?
