Saab Hatches 9-3 Sport-Hatch

SAAB To Hatch New Concept At Frankfurt

At a special event on Monday, 8-September - in conjunction with next month's
Frankfurt Motor Show - Saab will unveil a new 'Sport-Hatch' concept car that
challenges the distinction between traditional hatchback and wagon
bodystyles.

Saab continues its recent product offensive with the Saab 9-3 Sport-Hatch
Concept - a sporty, five-door, four-seat car that offers driver-focused
performance and innovative versatility features, all packaged in a 'fastback'
shape that draws its inspiration from the Saab 9-3X 'cross-over coupe'
concept that premiered last year.

Powered by a high performance 250 bhp, 2.0-liter turbo engine, the 9-3
Sport-Hatch Concept signifies Saab's intention to enter the mid-size wagon
segment with a sporty product that reflects Saab's tradition for designing
surprisingly versatile 5-door models. The concept team, under Saab Executive
Director of Design Michael Mauer, has expanded a number of exterior and
interior design themes from the 9-3X concept car - signaling Saab's future in
this segment.

'Just as the 9-3X occupies a position where coupe meets off-roader, this car
represents a cross-over point between hatchback and wagon,' says Mauer. 'It
is the sort of product that should come from Saab and our customers will be
able to buy a car very much like this.'

'We have promised the largest product offensive in our history,' said Saab
CEO Peter Augustsson, 'and with all the products that we've shown in the last
two years, it's obvious that we're keeping that promise. This concept car
isn't just a show car. It demonstrates our intent to continue to evolve and
expand the 9-3 model line.'

The Saab 9-3 Sport-Hatch Concept is the latest development in the most
comprehensive product development program in Saab's history. Following the
unveiling of the multi-dimensional Saab 9X concept at Frankfurt two years
ago, the 9-3X was shown at Detroit last year and the all-new 9-3 Sport Sedan
went on sale last September. This fall, the Saab 9-3 Convertible was launched
and next summer the all-wheel-drive Saab 9-2 model is scheduled to arrive in
North America markets.
