A branch of the prestigious GM Family, Saab initially ventured into the field of automobile manufacture as early as 1949. The Saab 9-3 (pronounced �nine three�), which happens to be a compact executive car was launched in 1998 as a 3/5 door hatchback model as well as a double door convertible.
Successive years witnessed a lot of alterations and innovative changes to the base model, thus bringing out a successful version which attracted eager eyes. One of the impressive models of the Saab 9-3 is the SportWagon with its exceptional bodywork and outstanding interiors.
The 9-3 SportsWagon series sports 2 diesel engines and five petrol engines that result in a superb power packed performance. The 1910 cc diesel engine gives an output of 150 PS @ 4000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque @ 2000 rpm resulting in the car reaching the 0-62 mph mark in just 10.2 seconds. The 9-3 SportWagon was essentially designed to compete with other contenders like the Audi A4 Avant, Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate, BMW 3 Series Touring, and the Jaguar X-TYPE Estate.
The latest of the Saab 9-3 models that was unveiled in Sweden in 2007 has already started earning laurels for its new and aggressive styling. Moreover, with a choice of sturdy engines as well as an innovative all-wheel drive configuration, the new car is largely inspired by the Saab Aero-X.
