2008 Saab 9-7X Preview summaryImage

The Saab 9-7X lineup expands for 2008 with the addition of the limited-edition Saab 9-7X Aero, a performance version of Saab's European-styled, American-built midsize SUV. The Aero features its own distinctive exterior color, Carbon Flash Metallic, and delivers plenty of power, thanks to a 6.0-liter small-block V8 engine that produces 390 horsepower and plenty of low-end torque.

The Aero also comes equipped with a number of unique features, including Aero-badged leather seats and embossed floor mats, performance-oriented 20-inch wheels, larger brakes for improved stopping capability, Saab-tuned shock absorbers, and a lowered sport-tuned chassis that results in sportier and more responsive handling.

The Aero joins the 4.2i and the 5.3i trims in the 9-7X lineup. All three trims come well-equipped with a wide range of standard features, including automatic all-wheel-drive, heated front seats, a power moonroof, XM satellite radio and OnStar, and the StabiliTrak vehicle stability management system.

The 9-7X borrows a number of its underpinnings from GM, Saab's parent company, but displays distinctive Swedish styling both inside and out, including the unique Saab grille, clean exterior lines, and a leather-and-wood interior. And in keeping with European efficiency, the 9-7X's engines are designed with fuel efficiency as well as performance in mind.

Saab made the Trailblazer better. Many components are the same but Saab lowered the SUV for better handling, added an air pump in the back. Car rides very well and looks very stylish as well. Unfortunately it only has a 4 gear transmission Really nice SUVMar 15, 2015

Love my SUV; speed and power of the GM born corvette engine. Although the gas mileage is, its acceptable for the average daily commute. Further the thrill provided by the corvette engine out weigh the gas mileage consideration. You will love this SUV...Dec 08, 2012

Got this for a family vehicle and it has been better than expected. Love the Saab badge and I looked at one of these new in 2008...took me 4 years to buy one. Got a great deal on a low mileage, well kept, one owner 9-7. We enjoy it as much as the 9-3!May 19, 2012
