The 2012 Saab9-3 range is now distinguished by new front bumpers and signature Saab ‘ice block’ headlamps found also on the new 9-5.
Inside, the instrument panel, cabin décor and seat upholstery are all given a fresh look. Under the bonnet, new 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines produces 163 hp and 220 hp. Combined cycle fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced on average by 4% across the range.
These new engines join the current 130/160/180 hp 1.9-litre TTiD twin turbo diesel line-up which offers very competitive CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km in both the Saloon and SportWagon – class-leading efficiency in terms of CO2 per unit of horsepower for the 180 hp variant.
