2009 Saab 9-7X Styles
Saab's five-seat 9-7X is structurally related to the Ford Explorer, and it competes with other upmarket SUVs such as the Volkswagen Touareg 2 and Volvo XC90. The 9-7X is available in Aero, 4.2i, and 5.3i trim levels.
Three engines are available for the 9-7X: two V-8s and an inline-six-cylinder. The 5.3-liter V-8 comes equipped with fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology, which disables half the cylinders when they're not needed. All engines team with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Aero models feature upgraded tires and brakes and a sport-tuned suspension.
