2011 Saab 9-3
Once day, we’ll get round this problem of what year t0 allocate to a car.
With the facelifted Saab 9-3 going on sale in the UK next month, Saab are referring to it as the 2012 MY Saab 9-3 in this morning’s press release, but it seems unlikely anyone in the UK will do so.
In the US, cars going on sale from May are referred to as the following year car, so assuming the new 9-3 goes on sale across the Pond in May it will be the 2012 Saab 9-3. Not as bad as the world of fashion, but confusing enough.
Changes to the 2011 Saab 9-3 are not enormous, but enough to hopefully refresh sales until we get a properly new model. There’s a new grill, headlamps and front bumper and a boot spoiler. Inside there’s a bit of metallic trim plastered round the cabin and some upgrades in trim levels.
The new 2.0 litre turbo comes in two flavours – 163hp and 22hp – with either a six-speed manual or auto ‘box. Saab say the 220hp version is the most powerful sub-160g/km petrol car in the UK. We hope that’s not its biggest plus.
Saab also claim that the 9-3 1.9 litre twin-turbo diesel is the most powerful estate car qualifying for free first year VED thanks to its 119g/km emissions.
Still, what you want to know is how much is the 2011 Saab 903. Well, it kicks off at £21,495 for the 2.0t petrol SE and rises to £33,550 for the 9-3 2.0T Auto Convertible.
As we said, on sale in April.
