It has been more than 20 years since Saab started out on its manufacture of convertibles. But surprisingly, the basic concept has always stayed put, regardless of the times. One of the most sought-after cars, the Saab Convertible, with its unique combination of glamour and safety, is considered as one of UK’s ever popular finest cabriolet.
Available in both linear and vector trim levels, it is the latest Areo model which happens to be the show-stealer. With an option of 4 powerful petrol engines, the Saab Convertible come in 5 speed manual, 6 speed manual, and 5 speed Sentronic automatic transmissions that offer a smooth and quality riding experience.
The 2.0 T model of the Convertible is powered by a 4-cylinder all-aluminum light-weight turbocharged engine which has an output of 175 bhp at 5500 rpm that makes it possible to reach the 0-60 mph mark is just 8.5 seconds. Moreover, this engine with its Tronic 8 management system, avoids rough motions or shunting of any kind due to ample torque control. Superb fuel efficiency is another advantage of the Saab Convertible, which gives about 31.7 mpg on a combined cycle.
The Saab Convertible also has achieved the five-star safety rating under the Euro NCAP collision test programme, making it an extremely safe vehicle on the road. Features like pop-up rear roll bars, seat belts, night panel function, ABS, EBD, airbags, a strong windscreen header rail, etc provide a safer environment in general.
