Saab 9-3
The long awaited all-wheel drive system is finally available in the 9-3 series. Offered on the sedan and the SportCombi station wagon, the XWD system enables Saab to better counter the powerful German and Asian competition. The all-wheel drive system is also available on the V6 equipped Aero version and the Sport version powered by the 2.0T engine. Remember that the 9-3 is Saab's entry-level model, but also its best seller.
