New Concept Car: Saab 9-4x


The barrage of crossover SUVs set to be unveiled at the NAIAS continues, with these images of Saab's new compact crossover leaked online prior to its scheduled debut. Called the 9-4X, the crossover concept looks to be quite close to production reality, with well-executed - though a bit bland - design cues.
Built atop the same platform as the Cadillac Provoq concept, the 9-4X is the latest vehicle aiming to do battle with the BMW X3 and the Land Rover Freelander in the compact crossover SUV marketplace. Due to the flagging dollar and the popularity of SUV/crossovers in the US, the 9-4X is expected to built in Mexico and should be available to consumers starting in 2009. Aside from being all-wheel-drive, the vehicle should also be fitted with Saab's BioPower powerplants, capable of running E85 bio-ethanol fuel, gasoline, or a mix of both.
