Overview
Saab’s 2008 9-7X , 4-door, 5-passenger, AWD SUV returns as carryover from the 2007 model.
Introduced in 2006, the 9-7X benefits from the newly available 6.0-liter, small-block V-8 engine in the Aero model that pumps out 390 hp. Saab claims the 9-7X’s V-8 engine enables the vehicle to go from 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds. It’s the fastest Saab available today, according to the maker. All 2008 9-7X models include the Saab 5-year/100,000-mile warranty with no deductible.
Options on the 2008 Saab 9-7X include 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, metallic paint, DVD rear-seat entertainment system, and a navigation system.
Powertrain
The 2008 Saab 9-7X is powered by three different engines, depending on model chosen. The 4.2i has the 4.2-liter V-6 engine that generates 290 hp at 6000 rpm and 277 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm. The 5.3i has the 5.3-liter V-8 engine generating 300 hp at 5200 rpm and 330 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. The Aero has the 6.0-liter, small-block V-8 engine with cold air induction that pumps out 390 hp at 6000 rpm and 400 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. Automatic AWD, stability control, rear air-suspension system with load-leveling, ABS, and tire-pressure-monitoring system are standard. Aero adds AWD with torque-based center differential. EPA fuel economy for the 4.2 is 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway, for the 5.3 it’s 13 mpg city/19 mpg highway, and the 6.0 gets an estimated 12 mpg city/16 mpg highway.
