Like any luxury-brand vehicle, the 2008 Saab 9-7X comes with an impressive array of features on the base model, and options and upgraded trims add to the list of cool features.

The different trims of the 9-7X Saab don't differ materially when it comes to standard features, as they simply represent different engine choices. Cars.com lists some of the Saab 9-7X’s standard features as "heated leather upholstery, a six-CD audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, a moonroof and power front seats." Those features, standard on all trims of the 9-7X Saab, are improved with the optional navigation system, which replaces the six-disc CD player, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.

Kelley Blue Book notes that the standard features list on the 2008 Saab 9-7X is completed with "XM Satellite Radio, OnStar...load-leveling rear air suspension and 18-inch alloy wheels." The OnStar feature is definitely worth noting again, as all GM vehicles now include one year of OnStar service as part of the purchase, and this service can prove invaluable in a number of driving situations in the Saab 9-7X.

Conclusion

The 2008 Saab 9-7X has a commendable features list.

Other Choices:

Among mid-size, truck-bred SUVs, the Ford Explorer comes to mind first. Though sales are off, the Explorer and its Mercury Mountaineer twin offer third-row seating, available V-8 engines, and tidy styling inside and out. The Toyota 4Runner is a new entry under an old nameplate, and it has the latest safety gear, plus a controversial new look. The Chrysler Aspen is a Dodge Durango in upscale trim, with a big grille as its chief distinction.
