The new Saab 9-3 range will feature bold styling, inspired by the award-winning Aero X concept car, backed by cutting edge technology for greater driving appeal. .
With all-new front bodywork, ’signature’ lighting, new door panels and rear styling features, the latest generation 9-3 acquires a more focused, assertive stance, reflecting the introduction of technical advances aimed at delivering an even more rewarding experience behind the wheel. — Audi metroproject quattro concept.
Most noticeable is the sharper frontal styling, which adopts grille and hood themes first seen on the Aero X concept, together with a return of Saab’s classic ’clamshell’ design. This new ’face’ is reinforced by other exterior changes that all combine to give the range a clearer, more distinctive Saab identity. — Ford's future small car developments.

The new 9-3 range comprises Sport Sedan, SportCombi and Convertible models, each offering a unique ’tri-fuel’ engine choice of gasoline, diesel or BioPower (E85). Available in three forms, Linear, Vector and Aero, the range goes on sale from August (TBC).
