Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

With an excellent ride and top-notch handling capabilities, the 2008 Saab 9-7X charges into 2008 with even better handling and ride quality. This four door, five passenger luxury SUV is offered in a 4.2i and a 5.3i model, with the 4.2i featuring a 285 horsepower 4.2-liter gas-powered inline 6-cylinder with a 4-speed automatic and AWD as standard, while the 5.3i features a 300 horsepower 5.3-liter gas-powered V8 with a 4-speed automatic and AWD as standard.

Benefits of Driving a 2008 Saab 9-7X Sport Utility

The 2008 Saab 9-7X is a truck-based sport-utility dressed up for the road, with a full roster of serious luxury-car comfort and convenience features. Yet it still has truck-like towing abilities, with a tow rating of up to 6,600 pounds. The sporty Aero model that's new for 2008, with its powerful V8 and performance-oriented attributes, broadens the 9-7X's appeal to those who might otherwise look to a more expensive model.

What's new for 2008?

A new high-performance Aero model, with a powerful 390-horsepower V8, joins Saab's 9-7X lineup for 2008. Otherwise, 20-inch wheels are now available on all models and high-polished aluminum 18-inch wheels are available on 4.2i and 5.3i models. Two new exterior finishes are available: Cocoa Metallic and Carbon Flash Metallic (Aero only).

2008 Saab 9-7X: What's New

Source: The Car Connection

If you've come to grips with the notion of a Saab SUV - much less one with V-8 power - you'll take the new Aero all in stride. The fastest Saab SUV yet gets one of GM's big, honking V-8s with 6.0 liters of displacement and 390 horsepower, enough to race to 60 mph in less than six seconds.

The Aero edition is new for 2008 in the Saab 9-7X lineup. It brings with its big V-8 a host of accessories, including 20-inch wheels and tires, a cocoa paint job, and special interior trim.

The other versions of the 9-7X lineup, the 4.2i and 5.3i, return for 2008. The 4.2i gets its power from a 290-horsepower, 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine, while the 5.3i uses a high-torque, 300-horsepower V-8 powerplant that generates 330 lb-ft of torque.

All engines are fitted to a four-speed automatic transmission, and a fully automatic all-wheel drive system with a limited-slip rear differential comes standard.

All trim levels come standard with anti-lock brakes and rear-wheel electronic traction assist, a fully independent suspension with electronically controlled air shocks in the rear, side-curtain airbags, and a state-of-the-art audio system, among myriad other features.

The 9-7X range also comes with an AM/FM/XM six-disc, in-dash CD changer with rear-seat audio controls as well as a Bose 275-watt audio system with six speakers. An in-dash, DVD-based navigation system is available.

Options include a DVD entertainment array, upgraded audio system, and a power sunroof.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
