The Off-Road-Ready Saab 9-3X Sport Sedan

Modified Saab 9-3X

Last week Saab Original team took their Parts for Life car and headed south to meet Sarah Moberg, a 27-year-old girl who has a Saab 9-3 Aero TX, MY10, which she wants to refine into a Saab 9-3X (sedan variant)

The challenges have been many for Sarah, but with both ideas and a great commitment she is well on the way, and Saab Original team are very impressed with the similarity to the factory-produced 9-3X that left Trollhättan in 2010.

What is special about this case is that Sara’s car is a sedan/saloon, and such variant of 9-3X was never made in Trollhättan. If Saab Automobile had decided to make this variant, then maybe Sara’s design would have been a role model. Everyone who saw this car has no dilemma, everyone loves what she does, and again, like most passionate Saab owners – they show their passion for the car and are good ambassadors for the car brand Saab.

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.
