SAAB 9-7X IS A PREMIUM, SPORTY MIDSIZE SUV
The Saab 9-7X, which debuted in the summer of 2005, brings unique Saab characteristics to the SÚV segment, including sophisticated styling inside and out, premium quality and design features, and sporty and fun-to-drive performance. Indeed, the 9-7X plays a crucial role in Saab's strategy to enter market segments where it never before had a presence. Saab market research reveals 50 percent of Ú.S. Saab customers already own an SÚV, and nearly 20 percent of Saab customers who leave the brand purchase an SÚV. For 2007, OnStar-equipped 9-7X models will feature a new service called OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, the first factory-installed, fully integrated GPS navigation system from OnStar. Turn-by-Turn allows consumers to talk to a live advisor, who in turn sends complete step-by-step directions to customers' vehicles through their OnStar system. These audio directions automatically play through the vehicle's audio system as needed, triggered by the OnStar system's GPS capabilities. This enables drivers to be led to their destination while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. For more information about OnStar, see the OnStar Overview in the Product Information Guide Corporate Book. Also in 2007, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System becomes standard equipment on the 9-7X, and one new color, Crystal Blue metallic, has been added. Design: Saab refinement for the exterior and interior at first glance The 9-7X's design conveys the sporty refinement of a Saab rather than the ruggedness of a traditional SÚV. The exterior reflects Saab's sporty, functional character. Key features, such as Saab's signature three-port grille, rear quarter windows that visually appear to wrap around the D-pillars and brand-distinctive wheels, telegraph the 9-7X's heritage even from a distance. Overall, it presents a smooth, aerodynamic, sporty appearance, with an excellent body-to-tire relationship derived from the vehicle's low stance and standard 18-inch alloy wheels. The 9-7X's profile is clean and uninterrupted, without any big bumper offsets, body-side moldings or protruding shapes and forms. The Saab 9-7X's cockpit-inspired interior is highly refined and driver-oriented. The center stack and controls are angled toward the driver. Like the exterior, it features Saab-traditional strong, brand-distinctive design elements and cues, including the distinctive sliding-plate air vents, the famed cupholder found in the Saab 9-5, and the trademark center console ignition key. Performance: sporty and focused on the driver
Like all Saabs, the 9-7X is designed to be a driver's vehicle, with a comfortable, well-controlled ride and responsive handling, as well as a low ride height with firm front and rear suspensions, a thick front stabilizer bar and stiff upper control arm bushings at the rear.
With a wheelbase of 2,870 mm ( 113 inches ) and length of 4,908 mm ( 193.2 inches ), the vehicle offers ample room for friends and family. It holds up to 1,127 liters ( 39.8 cubic feet ) of cargo space with the rear seatback up and 2,268 liters ( 80.1 cubic feet ) with the seatback folded down. A split rear seat is standard in all 9-7X models, as is a trailer hitch receiver and hitch receiver cover: Maximum towing capacity equipped with the V-8 engine is 2,948 kg ( 6,500 lb ). The 9-7X also has standard XM Satellite Radio (continental Ú.S. only), featuring more than 170 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels of original commercial-free music and premier news, sports and talk as well as advanced traffic and weather information for select major metropolitan areas nationwide. Consumers can subscribe to the basic service for $12.99 a month.Source - GM Media
