Saab 9-4X spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
Now that the fate of
Saab is in the hands of
Spyker Cars, future product plans seem to be moving right along. The new
9-5 is out on the road and the
9-4X crossover is scheduled to make its debut at the
Los Angeles Auto Show this November.
Our friends at
Saabs United managed to snag some shots of a pre-production 9-4X, giving us a glimpse of the automaker's new CUV before we see it in person later this year. The 9-4X was initially conceived under Saab's
General Motors ownership, meaning its underpinnings are shared with the
Cadillac SRX crossover. Word on the street is that the production taillamps will look slightly different than the ones on this early model, but that aside, don't expect things to change much between now and November.
Because the 9-4X is closely related to the SRX, we fully expect the 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 to be under the hood. Don't rule out the possibility of the 9-5's 2.0-liter turbo four being offered, as well. Both engines will more than likely be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and as the "x" in the name suggests, all-wheel drive will be on hand.
Until we get the official word in Los Angeles later this year, scroll through our gallery of spy shots below, and head over to
Saabs United for all things Griffin.
