2. A four-season four-seater.
Owning a Saab 9-3 Convertible says a lot about you. Your choice shows that
you would never settle for ordinary. You care about the things around you and
cars are no exception. This particular car offers form, function, attitude and a
responsible combination of performance and fuel efficiency.* That helps make
driving not only safe, but fun. No matter what time of year it is.
*EPA-estimated 19 city/27 hwy (manual transmission, 2.0T model).

3. Turbocharged.
In the driver’s seat, performance and strength are perfectly controlled.
An engineer would probably say that it is an intelligent way of using fuel
more efficiently.* We call it turbocharging. It simply means taking energy
from the exhaust and using it to feed more air into the engine. The result
is more power and more torque from a smaller and lighter engine.
Our 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo engine, for example, delivers 210 hp
and 221 lb-ft of torque while having an estimated 27 mpg on the highway.*
*EPA-estimated 19 city/27 hwy (manual transmission, 2.0T model).

4. All eyes on these curves.
There’s nothing wrong with falling for looks.
The Saab 9 -3 Convertible has become a design icon and
more or less a legend in its time. Yet the visual language
is calm and almost understated. Its strength may come
from the fact that all the lines are there for a reason.
Like the way the pop-up bars are integrated
into the rear of the body.
