Saab In Malaysia Still Pending as the 9-4x starts production
Production of the Saab 9-4X crossover began this week at a Mexican plant operated by Saab’s former parent, General Motors. U.S. sales will begin in May, with sales in Europe and other world markets scheduled to begin in August. The 9-4X is derived from the same platform as the Cadillac SRX which is assembled in the same Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, factory. The first vehicle, an Ice Pearl metallic Aero model with a 2.8-liter, V-6 turbocharged engine, is bound for a media test-drive event in the United States before being shipped to Sweden for display at the Saab car museum. The development and launch of the 9-4X have been repeatedly delayed, but it will be a significant component of Saab Cars North America’s U.S. sales and marketing efforts in 2011. It is the first crossover in the Saab lineup since the 9-7X was dropped in December 2008 and gives the Swedish brand an entry in one of the industry’s fastest-growing market segments. Saab’s sales have suffered since GM sold the company to Spyker Cars N.V. in February 2010. Saab sold 31,696 cars globally last year, down from 39,800 in 2009.
