�Our first vehicles are just hitting retailers and our first customer sale took place last weekend at Saab North Olmstead in Cleveland, Ohio� said President and COO of Saab Cars North America, Tim Colbeck.
The first US buyer of the 9-4X is Martin Reuben. �Before even driving it off the lot, I put my butt into the seat, looked around and bought it on the spot,� replied Martin. �So far everything I�ve discovered on this car is pure Saab � purposeful & well designed.� Saab has already 100 orders placed for its new SUV.
In the US, the 9-4X is offered with two V6 engines, a naturally-aspirated 3.0-liter with direct-injection producing 265HP and 223 lb-ft (302Nm), and a 2.8-liter unit with a twin-scroll turbocharger delivering 300HP and 295 lb-ft (400Nm).
Both V6 units are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The base 265HP V6 is available with front-wheel drive or Saab's XWD all-wheel drive system, while the 300HP version only with four-wheel drive.
The 9-4X is built alongside the Cadillac SRX at GM�s factory in Mexico.
