The 9-3X has a Sport Wagon body, higher ride, and AWD, and is aimed at people who want some characteristics of a crossover/SUV but in a manageable package.
Power will be from the company's 2.0 turbocharged petrol engine (210hp), combined with the Cross Wheel Drive system (XWD), or the 1.9 TTiD diesel engine (180hp) with front-wheel drive.
Saab designers have raised the chassis 35mm higher (20mm higher on the FWD diesel model) than the standard two-wheel drive Sport-Wagon. It is specifically designed for those who frequently use gravel or unpaved roads, without compromising the driving experience on tarmac.
The target market for the 9-3X is decribed as 'modern individuals – independent minded people ... with active lifestyles who have demands for versatility'.
