Saab’s first 9-4X sale went to Martin Reuben of Ohio.
“Before even driving it off the lot, I put my butt into the seat, looked around and bought it on the spot,” Martin said. “So far everything I’ve discovered on this car is pure Saab — purposeful and well designed.”
The 9-4X which was recently awarded “Top Safety Pick” by IIHS, brings car-like handling and ride qualities to the crossover segment. Key to its dynamic performance is a unique body structure, purpose-designed for a crossover application and free from compromises through adapting an existing sedan or wagon format. The Saab 9-4X’s advanced chassis offers car-like handling characteristics with sporty and responsive driving qualities. Available technologies include Saab’s DriveSense adaptive chassis, with real-time damping control, and Saab XWD, a cutting-edge, all wheel-drive system with an electronically controlled rear limited-slip differential (eLSD).
Comfort and convenience standard features range from a start/stop button and adaptable cargo storage. Other options include passive entry and exit, a powered tailgate, tri-zone air conditioning and rear seat entertainment packages.
Satellite-navigation with an 8-inch touchscreen, Bose surround sound system and hard disc “jukebox” music storage are among the infotainment options.
The 9-4X crossover entry level price is $34,205 MSRP for front-wheel-drive and $48,835 MSRP for the 9-4X Aero XWD model.
