A four-season four-seater.Owning a Saab 9-3 Convertible says a lot about you. Your choice shows that you would never settle for ordinary. You care about the things around you and cars are no exception. This particular car offers form, function, attitude and a responsible combination of performance and fuel efficiency.* That helps make driving not only safe, but fun. No matter what time of year it is.

*EPA-estimated 19 city/27 hwy (manual transmission, 2.0T model).

Turbocharged.In the driver’s seat, performance and strength are perfectly controlled. An engineer would probably say that it is an intelligent way of using fuel more efficiently.* We call it turbocharging. It simply means taking energy from the exhaust and using it to feed more air into the engine. The result is more power and more torque from a smaller and lighter engine. Our 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo engine, for example, delivers 210 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque while having an estimated 27 mpg on the highway.*

*EPA-estimated 19 city/27 hwy (manual transmission, 2.0T model).

All eyes on these curves.There’s nothing wrong with falling for looks.

The Saab 9-3 Convertible has become a design icon and more or less a legend in its time. Yet the visual language is calm and almost understated. Its strength may come

from the fact that all the lines are there for a reason. Like the way the pop-up bars are integrated

into the rear of the body.

Integrated front safety belts. Belts are mounted on the frame of the seats, giving better belt geometry regardless of the seat position.

Front structure. With three load paths per side. Designed to help protect in frontal crashes from a variety of angles and objects.

Safety and versatility.

Luggage capacity. The CargoSET (Self-Expanding Trunk) function automatically expands the luggage capacity as you raise the top.

Scratch protection/seating mat.† Rolls out from the luggage compartment to help protect the bumper. Easily removed for use as a waterproof seating mat.

Bike holder, towbar-mounted.†

Space for two bikes (three with an adapter). Fold-down function for easy access to the luggage compartment. License plate holder and lighting (not pictured).

Easy to fit and to fold for convenient storage. Reduces back draft and enhances comfort when driving with the top down.(Accessory)

A no-compromise rear seat.Space for passengers, easy entrance, retractable head restraints and safety belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters.

* Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in an appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the Vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.

** Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution. †Dealer-installed Saab Accessories.

Head/torso side-impact air bags.* In the front seats. Two-stage units that help protect both the torso and head.

The passenger compartments. With a sturdy structure of longitudinal and transverse beams designed to protect against crash forces.

SAHR. Designed to help reduce the risk of neck injuries in rear-end collisions. When another vehicle hits your car from behind, the front seat restraints move upward and forward to meet the passenger’s head as it begins to move backwards.

However, in order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended levels. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. For further information on all these topics, please consult the Owner’s Manual, your local dealer or call 1-800-SAAB-USA. 8 Map coverage includes the 48 contiguous United States and Canada.
