The Saab 9000, a mid-size executive car produced by the Swedish automaker Saab from 1984 to 1998, marked a significant departure from the company's previous offerings. This was the first Saab to utilize front-wheel drive and a transverse engine layout, a design choice that emphasized spaciousness and practicality over the sporty characteristics of the 900. The 9000 was born out of a joint venture between Saab and Fiat, with the Italian company contributing the platform and engine options for the first generation. The 9000 was offered in a range of body styles, including a four-door sedan, a five-door hatchback, and later, a three-door hatchback variant. It was renowned for its refined and comfortable ride, high levels of safety, and the typically Saab-esque blend of practicality and sportiness. The 1984 model year introduced the 9000 to the world, featuring a distinctive boxy design with sharp lines and a large greenhouse that emphasized its spacious interior. Power came from a range of Fiat-sourced petrol engines, including the 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the more powerful 2.3-liter four-cylinder. Over the years, the 9000 received several facelifts that evolved its design and introduced updated engines, including a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that offered a more spirited experience. The 9000 was a success for Saab, contributing significantly to the company's growth and solidifying its reputation for producing high-quality, sophisticated automobiles. While it may not have been the quintessential Saab in terms of its sporty handling, the 9000 represented a shift towards a more mainstream audience, attracting buyers who appreciated its luxurious features, spaciousness, and overall comfort.
