Saab 9-7X

EPA MPG: NA
RECALL ALERT:
There are 2 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.
CR's Take
Saab's first SUV is really just a Chevrolet TrailBlazer with upgraded interior and exterior appointments. The 9-7X even has a traditional Saab ignition key on the center console. The suspension is calibrated differently from the TrailBlazer. The all-wheel-drive system is permanent and lacks a low range. The 9-7X is also the first "Saab" to have a V8. Crash-test results are unimpressive.
