The SAAB 9000, launched in 1984, was a significant departure from the Swedish manufacturer's previous models. It was a large, front-wheel drive executive car, designed to compete with the likes of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz W124. Unlike its predecessors, the 9000 was more spacious and luxurious, featuring a spacious interior with a high level of comfort and refinement. Underneath the skin, the 9000 shared its platform with the Lancia Thema, Fiat Croma, and the Alfa Romeo 164, marking a collaboration between the two European car makers. This shared platform resulted in a robust and well-engineered car, offering a refined driving experience. The 9000 was initially offered with a variety of four-cylinder engines, later expanding to include a powerful 2.3-liter turbocharged engine. The 1986 model year saw the 9000 receive several updates, including a new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, an upgraded interior with improved materials, and a revised front fascia for a more modern look. Despite its impressive features and performance, the 9000 faced challenges in the market due to its relatively high price and the rise of Japanese competitors. However, it garnered a loyal following among drivers who appreciated its unique Scandinavian design, sophisticated engineering, and comfortable ride. The 9000 remained in production until 1998, with the final generation receiving a complete redesign. Although production ceased, the 9000 continues to be a popular choice for enthusiasts, thanks to its distinctive character and enduring appeal.
