The base model 2009 Saab 9-7X sports an impressive variety of features and options. For 2009, Bluetooth hands-free telephone connectivity is added.

Kelley Blue Book notes that the standard features list on the 2009 Saab 9-7X includes "XM Satellite Radio, OnStar...load-leveling rear air suspension and 18-inch alloy wheels." The OnStar feature comes with 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.

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. The only difference between trims levels on the 9-7X Saab is the choice of engines.

Conclusion

The list of features on the 2009 Saab 9-7X is commendable.

Other Choices:

If you still need a truck-based SUV for towing and want something a little different or more styling, the Mercury Mountaineer first comes to mind. It’s mechanically the same as the Ford Explorer, which, by now, is a very competitive model with good performance and plenty of standard safety features, yet the Mountaineer comes with a more upscale look inside and out. These models offer third-row seating and available V-8 engines. The Chrysler Aspen is a Dodge Durango in upscale trim, with a big grille as its chief distinction, but the Aspen and Durango arguably are more cumbersome to drive, yet don’t have much more room inside. The Toyota 4Runner is a relatively new entry under an old nameplate; it handles a bit better than most of the other vehicles in this class and has a full roster of safety features.
