Saab 9-3 2007
The 3-hole air intake grille of saab9-3 is the brand feature of saab, and the embedded galvanized bright ring makes it more refined. The galvanized trim strip running through the middle air intake grille increases a bit of sharpness, and the word "saab" inscribed on the trim strip echoes the logo on the engine hood, which highlights the brand more.The large quadrangle headlamp looks very traditional, but this is its consistent style: it is not conspicuous, but its practical point is to provide enough brightness.Front and rear of large tilt anglewindshieldWith a gentle top curve, the side view of the whole vehicle is like the profile of the wing. No wonder the drag coefficient is only 0.28, which is the advantage of saab's aircraft manufacturing background.The 17 inch aluminum alloy wheel rim coupled with 225/45r17 low flat ratio wide tire more reveals the movement characteristics of saab9-3.When the vehicle is running, the tail lift is extremely low, which increases the high-speed stability and braking performance of the vehicle.Precise airflow guidance design can maximally avoid splashed mud falling on the rear window and lights, maintain good visibility and ensure driving safety.[4]

Saab 9-3 viggen
Saab-9-3-coupe-viggen
The high-performance version of Saab 9-3 is named "Viggen" (Swedish: Thunderbolt).It was named after the Saab 37 Viggen fighter, and ended in 2002 after the production of the Saab 9-3 hatchback model was stopped.
CarryingTurbo2.3 liter engine (B235), 225 hp (168 kW, 228 dph), later upgraded to 230 hp (172 kW, 233 dph).It takes 6.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 62 miles (about 0-100 km), and the maximum speed is 155 mph (249km/hr)
In 1999, Saab Viggen was the first Saab 9-3 engine management system to use the TRIONIC 7 engine management system written by SAAB. This system can calculate the engine combustion temperature, boost control, torque curve variables and many important engine parameters in one second at 2000000 times.Launched in Viggen in 2001Traction control systemTCS (Traction Control System). In addition to increasing torque, namely horsepower, it is also equipped with tail wings (increasing downforce by 50%), changing the position of radio antenna, aerodynamic front bumper and side skirt, reducing drag coefficient by about 8%, leather seats in four colors, more sporty suspension, and upgraded braking devices.
SAAB Viggen has a mass production of less than 3000 vehicles, including only 500 vehicles in the UK market.
The pure black limited edition TURBO X based on SAAB 93 AERO was launched to commemorate the emergence of SAAB 900 TURBO, the first turbocharged model of SAAB 30 years ago. The global limited edition is 2000. This is also what SAAB will bringFrankfurtNew surprises.
The biggest difference between 93 TURBO X and 93 AERO is not the power increase of dozens of horsepower, but the addition of the latest SAAB4WDSystem - XWD. Compared with traditional AWD, this system can not only distribute power evenly between front and rear wheels, but also distribute power evenly between left and right wheels.[3]
Saab 9-3 ePower electric vehicle debuted at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, becoming the first Saab modelElectric vehicle。The ePower concept car is based on the 9-3 SportCombi station wagon and is equipped withBoston PowerCooperate to provide lithium batteries with a capacity of 35.5kWh.At 184 horsepowerElectric motorDriven by, the maximum speed can reach 150 km/hr (93 mph), and the estimated endurance is 201 km (125 miles).
The battery module is built at the position of the exhaust system and fuel tank of general vehicles, which is very helpful to the counterweight.The lighting and air conditioning in the vehicle are provided by another battery module, which is separated from the power of the vehicle.
Saab is expected to conduct two years of tests, and at the end of 2011, 70 ePwer experimental fleets will be put into Sweden for practical testing close to the general lifestyle.
Saab 9-3 Erik Carlsson
German branch cooperates with saab to refit cars for royal usemerchantHirsch Performance AGA new version of 93. This is to further enrich the Carlson Edition product lineCarlsonA special version launched by Zhou Qing in 1980 to continue the legend
This version is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive (XWD) and turbocharged engine. The horsepower is 240 horsepower, and the torque is 350 N/m, accelerating for 7.3 seconds per hundred kilometers
stayRallye Automobile Monte-Carlo Eric Carlson, a Swede driving saab 96, won two victories in one fell swoop.In addition, there was a hat trick in the group rally held in England.It is called "Carlson on the roof".For this reason, in March 2009, on the birthday of the 80 year old saab hero, saab launched the Saab 93 Eric Carlson version to carry forward the tradition and spirit of the older generation of racing drivers and continue the legend of saab, a Swedish royal brand.[2]
Saab 9-3 needs to be renovated, because the current version of 9-3 was launched in 2002.It is a sports car of Saab.In order to reduce development costs, 9-3 used the technology of its German brother Opel.andChevy Malibu、PontiacG6、Opel Victra shares the same chassis, but has its own suspension system, steering system, braking system and engineTurbocharging system。Despite the use of GM's global platform, Saab 9-3 still maintains some of its features, such as the ignition lock behind the gear handle, and the instrument that can be controlled by lights.However, compared with the comprehensive upgrade of its competitors, Saab 9-3 is undoubtedly old when it enters the next generation period, especially in terms of sales volume. Therefore, in the New Year, this model of Saab will accept some minor changes and upgrades to meet people's needs.
To be fair, the company's experience in 2011 can be said to be unique in automotive history.Especially after the company's name was sold to Spyker, it seems that the soul of the brand has gone, leaving only an empty shell.But after that,SaabWe are determined to get back on track and launch a series of new cars in 2012. Later in 2012, the 9-4X crossover model will also appear, eventually replacing the Saab 9-3 in its twilight years.
New design
However, I finally saw the first batch of spy photos of the next-generation Saab 9-3, which were taken somewhere in southern Europe.We don't have much details about this car, but we can confirm that the wheelbase of the car will be widened, which can be seen from the increase of the wheel arch on the spy photos.It is reported that the small modified Saab 9-3 will be replaced by the redesigned front bumper and front air grille. As can be seen from the figure, the front grille of the car is wider than the previous model, and the shape of the frame at the fog lamp of the front bumper is also different from the previous model.
The next generation Saab 9-3 launched in 2014 will appear in the form of 2013 model, and the body platform used is the old generic Epsilon platform that has been greatly modified, rather than the Epsilon 2 platform (used forOpel InsigniaSame version as Buick LaCrosse).
This technology comes from Saab and will only be used for the products of this Swedish automobile manufacturer, so there should be many restrictions on the design.This platform is used in the regular version ofSaabThere is no doubt about the 9-3 sedan version, but it may also be used in the subsequent convertible version and the three door hatchback model.
The style of the car should match the new 2010 modelSaab 9-5similar.However, in view of Saab's appointment of Jiexun Castriota, a former designer of Broadcom, one of the most famous automobile design companies in Italy, as a designer, we still hope to see the new design elements reflected in this car.[3]
