Saab has revealed the new 9-4X model, a mid-sized crossover that will debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and will go on sale in 2011. The design evolves the brand's language introduced on the Aero X Concept and the new 9-5 sedan.
The new Saab 9-4X is a mid-size crossover that expands the brand's line-up to three lines: it will be positioned between the 9-3X and the new 9-5 sedan.
The exterior design features the trademark clean surfaces, and aeronautic-inspired elements such as the wraparound-effect windshield and the cockpit look underlined by the single glasshouse graphic.
The front-end, like the new 9-5, draws inspiration from the Aero X concept car, with a deep, three-port grille and 'ice-block'-effect lighting themes.
The roofline is visually lowered and extended by a rear spoiler integrated in to the tailgate. At the rear, the lighting carries forward a signature introduced by the new 9-5 saloon.
An 'ice-block' bar lit by LEDs extends across the lower tailgate and wraps around the light units. Twin rhomboid-shaped exhaust tailpipes are also integrated into the lower bumper molding.
Saab 9-4X InteriorThe interior can accomodate five passenegers and features a driver-focused cockpit.
The center console, stack and main instrument display are presented within a single form that sweeps up around the driver and is finished with a fibre-effect carbon trim.
References to the aviation heritage include a selectable speed read-out, and 'joystick' adjusters for the mesh-style air vents.
At launch the 9-4X will be available with a 2.8 liter V6 turbocharged engine, capable of 300 hp and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, XWD all-wheel-drive system and DriveSense adaptive chassis control.
