The Saab 9000 was a mid-size executive car produced by the Swedish manufacturer Saab from 1984 to 1998. It was the first Saab to be designed under the leadership of Björn Envall and was built on a platform shared with the first generation of the Fiat Croma, Lancia Thema, and the Alfa Romeo 164. The 9000 was initially available with a range of turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines, later expanding to include both naturally aspirated and turbocharged V6s. It was renowned for its aerodynamic styling, spacious interior, and advanced handling characteristics, solidifying Saab's reputation for producing distinctive and sophisticated vehicles. The 9000 was praised for its ride comfort, particularly on long journeys, and its well-insulated cabin kept road and wind noise to a minimum. In addition to its practicality, the 9000 offered a unique blend of performance and safety features, making it a popular choice among discerning drivers.
Throughout its production cycle, the Saab 9000 underwent various updates and revisions, most notably in 1991 when it received a substantial facelift. The redesigned front end featured a new grille and headlights, while the rear received revised tail lights and a new bumper. The interior also received a makeover, with new seats, door panels, and a modern dashboard. The 9000 was offered in various trim levels, including the base model, the CD, the Aero, and the Carlsson. The Aero models were particularly popular for their enhanced performance and sporty styling. The Saab 9000 was discontinued in 1998, making way for the Saab 9-5, which adopted a similar platform and continued the legacy of Scandinavian design and engineering excellence. The 9000 remains a timeless classic, admired for its distinctive design, advanced technology, and enduring appeal.
