Saab 9-4x

Saabkyle04, video blogger and Also Saab enthusiast, just finished editing his review of One of the rarest cars out there – 2011 Saab 9-4x Aero XWD.  It’s very interesting to watch this and see how the perspective on this vehicle had changed a little from your 2011 review when it was brand new.

For those to whom this model is unknown, we should say that the Saab 9-4x is a compact luxury crossover SUV and 9-4x intended to replaced the larger Saab 9-7x. As with all Saabs, it features some exceptional design touches including the electronic tailgate, ice-block headlights and blacked out B pillars reinforcing its aerospace heritage…

Rarity is a big part of what makes ths 9-4x so valuable. Built on GM’s Theta platform, this premium SUV was one of the last cars that GM made and slapped Saab badges on. It was the first and only Mexican-built Saab, and According to information at the Saab Museum in Trollhättan, Sweden, only 814 Saab 9-4X units were produced.

Here’s a rare chance to see one of these up-close and learn what makes it so neat:

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.

  • I still dont understand why GM dropped Saab. 9-4X one of the most beautiful SUVs. Looks like it was made yesterday.

  • Could have been a major seller too. Vauxhall/GM completely missed the point when they took on SAAB. If only they’d done like Ford did with volvo. Ironically they’ve been bought by citroen Peugeot now haven’t they. Maybe vsuxhall will have less boring designs now. SAB would have sat well in their line up.
