Over View

As part of the General Motors conglomerate, Saab has been struggling to maintain its world market, although UK sales remain particularly strong. The 9-3 is a range of competent, well-engineered saloon, convertible and estate models, built on the same platform as the Vauxhall Vectra.

Performance and Economy

Although Saab sources its engines from its European partner Opel, they are engineered in line with Saab's sporting (and turbocharged) heritage. The entry level unit is an un-blown 1.8i petrol with 122hp, giving a 123mph top speed and 0-62mph acceleration in 11.1 seconds, with 35.8mpg quoted for combined cycle driving. The range also offers 1.8t and 2.0t turbocharged engines. Don't be fooled by the numbers, they are both 2.0-litre units, with 150 and 175bhp respectively. The 1.8t can reach 131mph and 0-62mph in nine seconds (2.0t 140mph and eight seconds). Newest additions to the range are 1.9 TDI turbodiesels offering 120 or 150hp. The former is strong on economy, with a quoted 49.6mpg combined; the latter is sharp performer, moving from rest to 62mph in 9.2 seconds. The hottest unit is the 2.0T, available only in Aero trim, which delivers 210hp, 146mph and 0-62mph in 7.4 seconds. Five-speed manual transmission is standard on all except the Aero and 150hp TDI which use a six-speed system. An automatic with sequential gear selection is optional, along with a six-speed auto 'box for the 150hp TDI. The diesel engines are not offered in the Convertible. The greater weight of the soft tops mean their performance figures are all slightly lower than those of the equivalent saloons.
Safety and Security

Saloons and Sportwagons are equipped with front, side and head airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, pretensioned front seatbelts, active front head restraints and ISOFIX child seat mounts. An anti-theft and deadlocks with remote central locking are also standard. Convertibles are similarly equipped but with no head airbags.
Equipment

The entry level 1.8i features electric windows, electric heated door mirrors, sound system with CD player and air conditioning. The Linear grade adds 15-inch alloys and a leather-trimmed steering wheel with remote audio controls. Linear Sport brings larger alloys and climate control, while Vector grade provides 17-inch alloys and part leather upholstery. Vector Sport provides three-spoke alloys, ESP stability control programme and parkign sensors. The Aero rides on 17-inch wheels and is fitted with bi-xenon headlights with washers and a lowered sports-tuned chassis. Convertible models are available in Linear, Vector and Aero trims only.
Costs

Prices: On the road prices for the Saab 9-3 saloon range start at £18,575 for the 1.8i Airflow and rise to £28,675 for the Aero V6. Convertible models are priced from £25,975. Sportwagon models cost £1,000 more than equivalent saloons.

Vehicle Excise Duty and insurance: Both diesels are in band D for Vehicle Excise Duty. All other models, including the 150hp TDI automatic and all the Convertibles, are in band F. Insurance ratings range from Group 11 to 16 for the saloon line-up, while the Convertibles are rated in Groups 13 to 17.

Carbon dioxide emissions:The 120hp TDI emits 154g/km and the 150hp version 159g/km (194 automatic). Figures for the petrol engines are 1.8i 188g/km; 1.8t 192g/km (221), 2.0t 194g/km (223) and 2.0T 202g/km (232). Convertibles emit between 232 and 235g/km.

We provide the following funding options:


Contract Hire
A popular choice for VAT registered companies who want minimum outlay and maximum control of costs, especially when the maintenance and relief vehicle options are included. With this VAT beneficial financing package, one regular rental payment covers all risks including costs of depreciation and disposal for an agreed period of time and mileage. Road fund licence is included with contract hire, but roadside rescue, maintenance and relief vehicle provisions are options that can be added with contract hire and charged to the rental payment.


Finance Lease
Finance Lease is Ideal for VAT registered companies who want to handle the administration of their vehicles, and have the asset shown on their balance sheet. A VAT beneficial option where the hirer can choose to pay the entire cost over the agreed lease period, plus an interest charge, or pay lower monthly rentals during the lease period with a final payment based on the anticipated resale value of the vehicle.
