United Automobile, local agents for Saab, have unveiled the latest additions to their local line-up: the new Saab 9-3 Sport sedan and convertible. Both cars are the epitome of modern Scandinavian design, inspired by the award-winning Aero X concept car and backed by cutting-edge technology for greater appeal.

Improved in design, performance and handling, the Saab 9-3 range is a sophisticated powerplant that particularly represents the state-of-the-art in turbo technology, drawing on Saab's vast experience accumulated over almost 30 years since the launch of the first 99 Turbo. It also echoes the inspiration from Saab's unique aircraft heritage for an unmatched experience behind the wheel.

The distinctive styling of the 9-3 Sport sedan, with its coupe-like profile, communicates a sporty, driver-focused character, positioning it as a product that could only come from Saab.

The 9-3 convertible is the product of over 20 years' experience in designing four-seater, four-season soft tops that are as practical as they are stylish. The Saab convertible has a level of structural integrity, build quality and running refinement that places it at the very top of is class.

Innovative product features further develop the Saab concept that an open-top car should be more than a convertible by offering all-year-round transport. In addition to its functional qualities, the convertible also offers strong driving appeal through sharing the excellent chassis dynamics of the 9-3 range.

The overall design of the new Saab 9-3 integrates a chain of interacting safety systems: Saab's unique ReAxs chassis system allows the car to steer with all four wheels, making it versatile but keeping it safe.

The Saab 9-3 Sport sedan received top rating in the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (ITHS) front, side and rear crash tests, including seat/head restraint protection and the vehicle's electronic stability control.

The Saab 9-3 convertible has earned the 2007 Top Safety Pick award for open-top models in crash tests conducted by the same US IIHS.

Both models have also achieved a maximum five-star rating in the European New Car Assessment Programme (EuroNCAP) crash tests.

The Saab 9-3 Sport sedan is available with 1.8i, 2.0-litre turbo and 1.9TiD engines; the Saab 9-3 convertible with the all-aluminium 2.0-litre turbo engine and sophisticated 1.9 TiD engine.
