This car was the first entirely new model developed by SAAB since the 99, and it aimed to challenge the established German giants in the premium segment. The 9000 was a technological marvel for its time, featuring a spacious and aerodynamically advanced body, a sophisticated suspension system, and innovative engine technologies. Its distinctive styling, with its sharp lines, distinctive grille, and elegant interior, set it apart from the competition.
The 9000 was available in various configurations, ranging from the entry-level 2.0i to the high-performance Aero Turbo, boasting powerful turbocharged engines capable of delivering exhilarating performance.
