New 9-3X storms UK crossover sector with outstanding prices

Competitive pricing has never been more topical, and the good news for Saab customers is that the much-awaited new 9-3X has stormed the crossover sector with an entry price of just £24,995 for the 1.9TTiD model.

The newcomer, revealed at the Geneva Motorshow earlier this year to rave reviews will be arriving at Humberside Saab from August 2009.

The 9-3X is available with a choice of two engines: the punchy 1.9TTiD diesel engine which produces 180PS and 400Nm of torque, or the 2.0-litre petrol turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 210hp, which has the additional benefit of Saab’s technically advanced Cross Wheel Drive system (XWD). This model is priced from £25,995.

Saab’s bold, dynamic design language is visible throughout the 9-3X, as well as a host of technology that provides more safety and improved dynamics for drivers including ESP and ABS, with cross wheel drive (XWD) available on the 2.0T engine.

All models also come with high levels of equipment, including leather & textile sport seats, heated front seats, cruise control, 9-speaker audio system with MP3 compatibility, sport leather steering wheel, dual-zone electronic climate control, car computer, matt chrome roof rails and 17” alloy wheels.

A spokesperson for the East Anglian Saab dealers, said: “We can’t wait to bring the brand new Saab 9-3X to market later this year. Given the high quality and competitive pricing we anticipate a high demand for these vehicles, so to avoid disappointment, I’d advise anyone interested to visit our website or book an early appointment with a member of one of our Sales teams.”

The 9-3X will also spearhead Saab’s campaign in the SAAB Salomon Trail Running Series 2009, which kicked off in May at the Keswick Mountain Festival.
