The Saab 9-7X will make its world debut at the 2004 New York Auto Show in April 2004, and will go on sale about one year later. Initially, the 9-7X will be produced specifically for the United States and Canadian markets only.
"We are pleased to continue to expand our product line
in the very important North American market," comments
Peter Augustsson, President and CEO of Saab Automobile AB.
"With the Saab 9-X and 9-3X concept vehicles, followed by
the award-winning Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon and Convertible, the 9-3
Sport-Hatch concept and the dynamic new 9-2X, we are exceeding our
commitment to introduce one new vehicle or concept each year for
five years."
"The Saab 9-7X is the perfect addition to our model mix," Augustsson continues. "It allows us to join the growing North American mid-luxury SUV market, one of the fastest growing segments, with a dynamic, premium vehicle."
The new 9-7X will be built at GM’s Moraine Assembly plant in Ohio, beginning in the first quarter of 2005.
