· Saab 9-3 Convertible 20 Years Edition

A celebration of two decades of success with more than 240,000 cars sold since the first Convertible was launched in 1986. The 20 Years Edition features a unique electric blue metallic paint finish, including color-keyed tonneau cover, door trims and handles, and leather seating also trimmed in electric blue. On sale from February, it is available in Vector and Aero specifications.


· Introduction of 1.9TiD engine for Saab 9-3 Convertible range

This powerful yet frugal 150bhp turbo diesel broadens the appeal of the Saab 9-3 Convertible range still further. Available in Linear and Vector specifications with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions and an advanced maintenance-free particulate filter, the.1.9TiD delivers sporty performance with fuel economy of 6.3 l/100km over the combined cycle.


· Saab 9-5 BioPower

Saab leads the premium segment in offering a car powered by bioethanol (E85), an eco-friendly, renewable fuel. The Saab 9-5 BioPower 2.0t delivers more power and performance than its gasoline equivalent, as well as reduced CO2 emissions. It is already an outstanding sales success in Sweden and is focusing interest from other European markets as a means of helping to achieve EU targets for the introduction of bio-fuels.

BioPower's performance potential is further underlined by the Saab 9-5 Aero BioPower Concept on show at the GM Forum. Developing 310 bhp from its 2.3-liter turbo engine, it delivers almost 20 per cent more power than its gasoline equivalent.
