Saab XWD gets a grip on your needs. Enter a sports shoe store and you ll find an amazing number of options. Running, climbing, trekking, golfing or just street-smart? Imagine the difference it would make if you could have a pair of shoes that adapted automatically to what you do. That s basically the thought behind the innovative Saab XWD cross-wheel drive system. It s one of the most advanced all-wheel drive systems available, developed together with Haldex. It senses your way of driving and the road conditions at each moment in time. It then actively helps improve the car s behaviour on the road. What you feel is better grip, faster acceleration, more agile cornering behaviour and improved stability. In all kinds of weather. Unique integration. The XWD system is developed using the newest Generation 4 system from Swedish all-wheel drive specialists Haldex. The unique way in which Saab integrates the system in the car allows it to work smoothly together with the ESP and other electronic systems. Acceleration. If you start on a dry surface, most of the torque is distributed to the rear wheels to avoid wheel slip and gain maximum acceleration. Response. The XWD system is designed to react in just 80 milliseconds and continuously vary torque distribution between front and rear. Grip and stability. If the front wheels hit an icy patch during acceleration, most of the torque is diverted to the rear wheels for enhanced grip and stability. elsd. The optional electronically controlled rear limited slip differential (elsd) balances torque between the rear wheels. It gives you even more enhanced control in all conditions. Efficiency. When cruising at a steady speed only a small amount of torque is delivered to the rear wheels. This helps support directional stability and reduces fuel consumption. Activation. Saab XWD is an always active, fully automatic all-wheel drive system designed to optimise the car s handling and stability in all driving conditions. Cornering performance. On a twisting road, the Saab XWD system helps improve the car s agile handling. It distributes more torque to the rear wheels, thus combining responsive curve behaviour with high stability.

Aerodynamics. Carefully balanced to help improve both efficiency and high-speed stability. Experience Saab EcoPower Technology Saab EcoPower Technology is the power of efficiency. It is developed to combine increased respect for nature with better performance. It s all about using resources wisely. Aerodynamics, turbocharging, weight and friction reduction are part of the formula. The result? Impressive power, fuel consumption and emissions. You can try it in the Saab 9-3X whether you prefer a car that runs on petrol, diesel or renewable bioethanol. Count on a powerful experience. And the joy of driving with a cleaner conscience. Two-stage turbodiesel. The Saab 9-3X is available as a special low-emission model (144 g/km) with our innovative two-stage turbodiesel engine combined with front-wheel drive (FWD) and a 20 mm raised chassis. This model offers impressive fuel efficiency (5.5 l/100 km) and at the same time exhilarating performance. (1.9 TTiD 180 hp engine) Saab Turbo. Turbocharging massively increases engine torque, especially in the medium rev range. This enables higher gearing, which is beneficial for fuel consumption while still offering exceptional overtaking acceleration. Weight reduction. Approximately 60 percent of the bodyshell weight consists of high strength or ultra high strength steel. This helps reduce weight compared to regular steel. Several parts such as the bonnet, the tailgate and the rear bumper beam are made of aluminium alloy. Saab BioPower. A Saab innovation that allows you to run the car on bioethanol fuel (E85). BioPower technology takes advantage of the higher octane rating of bioethanol fuel, making the engine more efficient. If bioethanol is not available you can run the car on petrol, or any mixture of the two. (2.0 Turbo BioPower 210 hp engine) Adaptive idle. A new function designed to help reduce emissions during stop-and-go traffic. Lowers the engine idle when the gear lever is shifted to neutral and the clutch pedal is released. Automatically returns to normal idle when the clutch pedal is engaged. Available on petrol and BioPower engines with manual transmission.
Designed for real life. Safety does not contradict excitement, quite the contrary. It s only when you play on the safe side that you can enjoy life to the fullest. We take a similar approach to car design. We study what actually happens on the road in real-life conditions, rather than just performing regular crash tests. Our database containing thousands of actual car crash details enables us to identify the scope for improvements that would scarcely be possible in the laboratory. This real-life philosophy has led to a range of safety innovations. Such as SAHR, our award-winning active head restraints fitted in the front seats. Not for nothing are Saab cars frequently ranked among the best in their class in various safety surveys. But most important of all, this approach helps us boost the impressive real-life safety of our cars. Out on the road.
