Available in three forms, Linear, Vector and Aero, the compact 2008 Saab 9-3 Sedan has revamped styling, more power and added features, including all-wheel drive.

With all-new front bodywork, ’signature’ lighting, new door panels and rear styling features, the latest generation 9-3 acquires a more focused, assertive stance, reflecting the introduction of technical advances aimed at delivering an even more rewarding experience behind the wheel.


The 9-3 Sedan earned the IIHS' "Top Safety Pick Award" for 2007 - making it one of the safest cars in its class three years in a row.


The base Saab 9-3 2.0T model comes powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates both rapid acceleration and improved fuel economy. The Saab 9-3 Aero version, meanwhile, features a 2.8-liter V6 that uses variable intake valve timing and a twin-scroll turbocharger to generate about 25 percent more muscle, with added torque for quick launches and strong highway passing abilities.

The Saab 9-3 Sedan offers a slick-shifting, six-speed-manual transmission as standard equipment. We recommend it for driving enthusiasts. Commuters, on the other hand, may prefer the optional automatic, which has five speeds on the Saab 9-3 2.0T and six speeds on the Aero. Both allow manual gear selection for those who like to have it both ways.

A sport-tuned suspension and standard stability control system ensure crisp and secure handling and a comfortable ride. The Saab 9-3 Sedan competes handily with the BMW 3 Series and the Audi A4. The Aero variant emphasizes handling over ride comfort, and it leans more toward the BMW in this regard.

The Saab 9-3 Sedan feels agile and is rewarding to drive vigorously. At the same time, it remains comfortable for long-distance cruising.
