The 2004 Saab 9-3 is a compact executive car that embodies the Swedish brand's blend of sporty performance and refined elegance. This generation of the 9-3, launched in 2003, marked a significant departure from its predecessor. It incorporated a new platform shared with the Opel Vectra, offering a more spacious and comfortable cabin. The 9-3's distinctive design, characterized by its sloping roofline, prominent grille, and signature "aircraft" inspired dashboard, still retained the Saab DNA, but with a modern twist. It was available in a range of body styles, including a sedan, a convertible, and a five-door hatchback known as the SportCombi.

Under the hood, the 2004 9-3 offered a variety of engine options, catering to diverse driving desires. The base engine was a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit, while a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine provided a noticeable performance boost. For those seeking even greater power, a 2.8-liter V6 engine with turbocharging was also available. The 9-3's handling was praised for its agility and precision, thanks in part to its independent suspension system and a well-balanced chassis. It provided a comfortable ride, yet remained engaging on twisty roads. The 2004 Saab 9-3 was a well-rounded package that offered a unique mix of practicality, comfort, and performance, making it a compelling choice within its segment.
