Saab Turbo X dimensions

The 2008 Saab 9-3 is a compact, entry-level luxury vehicle available in sedan, wagon (sportcombi) and convertible body styles -- all of which come in 2. 0T and Aero versions. Front-wheel drive is traditional on the 9-3, and later in the year, an all-wheel-drive system will be available on Aero sedans and wagons.

The 2. 0T model provides 16-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, wood-grain dashboard trim, an eight-way performance driver bench, dual-zone automatic conditioning and a seven-speaker CD audio with radio and an optional stereo slot. Sedans and Sportcombi wagons have a split-folding back bench, while convertibles come with a fully automatic performance cloth top. additionally to a turbocharged V6 motor, the 9-3 Aero model adds 17-inch alloy wheels, firmer suspension tuning, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, front sport seatings (with performance adjustments for the passenger), metallic dashboard trim and an updated Bose audio with an in-dash CD changer. Aero sedans and wagons have a sunroof.

Many of the Aero's features are available on the 2. 0T via the features list. Features across both trims include a navigator, back parking sensors and bench heaters. Consumers who opt for a 9-3 Aero XWD can also get an electronic limited-slip back differential.

Another alternative for consumers who want all-wheel drive is the limited-edition Saab 9-3 Saab Turbo X sedan and wagon. It's equipped similarly to the regular 9-3 Aero XWD, but has 18-inch wheels; a lowered and firmer suspension with self-leveling back shock absorbers; larger brakes; black leather seatings and faux carbon-fiber dashboard trim. .
