The distinctive, five-door, four-seater format of Saab's 9-3 SportHatch Concept car offers sporty, driver-focused performance and innovative load-carrying features, while challenging the traditional distinction between a hatchback and an estate.
The 9-3 SportHatch Concept is a clear declaration of Saab's intention to enter a whole new market segment. It is designed for customers with active, outdoor lifestyles looking for a sporty and rewarding driving experience.
Powered by a 186 kW, 2-litre turbo engine with Saab Sentronic automatic transmission and a lowered, sports chassis sitting on 20-inch wheels, the 9-3 Sport-Hatch Concept promises sharp performance to match its eye-catching looks.

Over the years the Saab models continued to be developed and enhanced, and sales grew rapidly. Success in rallying helped to make the Saab an increasingly popular car.
