- The second-generation model was launched in January 2002, at the North American International Auto Show for the 2003MY. Originally, the 9-3 was due to début with the Opel Vectra in October 2001, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but in July 2001, it was announced that delays had forced General Motors to postpone the introduction.[13] Both cars were eventually introduced in March 2002, at the Geneva Motor Show.
The new 9-3, like most Saabs, remained a front-wheel drive car. The most drastic change from the former generation was the elimination of the hatchback design. The second-generation 9-3 is available as a four-door saloon, an estate (introduced late in 2005, known as the SportWagon, SportCombi or Sport-Hatch depending on the markets), and a two-door convertible (introduced in 2004). It includes a number of safety features, including innovations such as Saab Active Head Restraints (SAHR II) to reduce whiplash and ReAxs, a passive rear wheel steering design and passive toe-in to help reduce understeer under heavy braking.

The new 9-3 departed from the EcoPower engine used previously for a new 2.0 L inline-four engine Ecotec engine from General Motors' for the petrol powered models. There are three different versions of the turbocharged inline-four, with the amount of turbo boost determining the power output. The 150 hp (110 kW) version (though two-litre, it is called 1.8t) was standard in the non-U.S. market Linear form (trim-level). The 175 horsepower (130 kW) version (2.0t) was standard in U.S. market Linear or non-U.S. market Vector form, mated with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed 'Sentronic' which is a traditional automatic, not to be confused with SAAB's earlier 'Sensonic' which was a manual transmission which allowed for shifting without a clutch pedal. The 210 horsepower 2.0T (B207R engine) was available in both the Arc and Vector forms, (and Aero in the United Kingdom), and the automatic transmission was available, though in the Vector, paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel were added. In 2003 Arcs and Vectors, the manual transmission was a 6-speed.
The 9-3 and the Opel Vectra were the first of the global GM Epsilon platform, which was then lengthened to accommodate four new cousins, the Chevrolet Malibu/Malibu Maxx, the Pontiac G6, and the Saturn Aura. A proprietary fiber-optic electric/electronic system, the possibility of AWD (exploited from 2008 on, dubbed Saab XWD), and ReAxs as described above, are just a few of the features exclusive to the 9-3. On February 22, 2012, the final 47 Saabs were built. They were all 9-3 Independence Edition convertible models built by one of Sweden's largest car dealers, ANA, in Trollhättan.

One of the nicest production cars ever. Still have my 03 SS and still dream that they will come back.
I got two Saabs 9-5’s one I had to fix but it was easy and they both been great cars since. I got a project 1999 Saab 9-3 convertible I hope to get going this coming summer.
My old work mates! Bill, Ronny, Lars och Adel. Good times!
Karl H What is bad about the building of a Saab?
@@ME-kp5iz GM = cars designed by accountants. SAAB was all against that model of business, so GM killed the brand.
I drive 9-5 Aero in Merlot Red, and I love it to the bits! Love it so much, that I would not even remotely think about selling it!
@@Cpt_Wolf gm killed saab because they were too good :)
How long did it take to complete one 9-3 from first step to rollout?
Looks like the car that was built for me in 2006. Still runs today even though I don't own it anymore. I owned it for 12 years, put 191,000 on it with virtually no problems, and sold it to a college student who still drives it today now with 225,000 miles on it. They are very good cars well built. GM worked on the quality of them in 2005 with a six sigma review of warranty data and fixed all the electrical problems by 2006. This is amazing to see, thanks for sharing.
Lovely cars. Such a loss when Saab disappeared... 😢
I'm hanging on to my 1999 95 thats for sure. We're off to look for another in the UK before the end of the year for my son as soon as he has his licence...
Just wish I had inherited my dads 1990 red 900 aero turbo 😍
I have a SAAB 93. I wish I could tell them to put better buttons on the radio and climate control.
Very interesting to see
@1aikane , there is an easy DIY spare kit available to change the worn buttons
I hope they come back to us
SAAB AB already announced that they will come back to auto business market, between 2018 - 2020
Well, not quite.
Its now NEVS (national electric vehicle sweden) thanks to brand ownerships, but its the original crew, and trollhattan, so can fully expect the same design quirks of those swedes.
Also not producing fuel driven cars but electric (clue by the name), and in 2018 they should be exporting the first units to china which have already been ordered in some notable numbers, and only China.
Might start seeing them in Europe, the US and the rest of the world a few years after that.
Hoping my current Saab lasts till then.
What are you talking about? When did they do that?
Hope if they come to europe, that the quality will be good
Spike20101000 not entirely the original crew some left to Volvo after they went bankrupt that's why some quirky stuff about Volvo is now in their cars they are Swedish too but not a Saab
My 2004 is still going strong!
There is a very tiny chance one of those red Saabs is the one i own.
Excellent video........thank you from a new proud owner of a 2011 1.9 TTiD4 convertible 👍
Damn I miss these cars!
brand new... amazing *_*
Love this! .... and love my 9-3 Aero :D
Hopefully Saab can make a come back after 6 years with electric Saab 9-3
Saabrito yep in China
Saab 93 the best car ever made, well looking, great car, I drive every day
A wonderful, wonderful car. I still have a 9-3 SS Hirsch stage 2. Love it.
love my '07 93
I love my Saab and I was thinking of getting a Volvo when time decides that my Saab can't drive a mile anymore, found out months ago that China got its hands on Volvo😵😩😢 I checked consumer reports and Volvo is not doing well😔 problema with the infotainment systems and one or 2 things more, it really turn me off on getting a volvo, unless I get an older model before China took over, it will be a shame if Volvo goes down like Saab did😭
Volvo is long time in chinese hands but they are doing fine. All new cars have some problems because they are much more complicated than 20-30 years ago.
Volvo is still designed and produced in Sweden. New Volvo S60 will be only produced in the new U.S. factory opened last year.
I LOVE MINE
it´d be so cool to see the own saab beeing manufactured
Think i speak of many people then i say i hope that one day it will come back and if not may it rest in peace. I will always love my Saab
saab best
Loved seeing this.
It’s sad that these cars never produced again . Saab beautifully cars , especially the
900 series .
just got rid of a 2005 9-3 Linear.. GREAT car. My son's first car. He was spoiled right off the bat. Crashed the car to death a couple weeks ago. He didn't get a scratch..
Es gibt nichts besseres als Saab👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪
Najlepszy SAAB 93
Now I’m curious if one of these are ironically one of the Saab’s I owned I had 4 now three :(
Is your car a 9.3 or 9.5? Like your wheels, what make and size are they? Trying to determine if would fit my 2007 Aero Convertible and are you satisfied long term with your brew-city tune?
Nice self promotion...
They were bought by chinese firm. They have started production again of the 9-3 and it is fully electric. Only being sold in China at present.
I own a 9-3 and I love it. 10/10 whereas the 2 Golf’s mk5 I own are always with problems. Fuel consumption shit too. My SAAB 9-3 1.9 TID fuel consumption is awesome. Gives 50 mpg instead of Golf 1.9 tdi which gives 30mpg. Everything about saab is top dollar. Comfort , safety , design , the lot.
Bring back SAAB
Interesting video
They were all vector and linears
Not an aero in sight.
Great cars.
I have 2 aero cnvertibles
And unfortunately in the dismatlers where I work I see one a week scrapped...
Still.. I do get free access to parts
Yay me.

Saab is always pathological about safety. 5:16 factory worker in sandals
confy sandals because on that section there was no danger to hurt them, look at different sections and you will see work shoes
2:37 I know that guy!
Kalite tesadüf değildir
GM used to own saab
u mean gm destroyed saab
I hope that this factory will be opened in Iraq to be exported to the countries of the Middle East
if they only made them more rustproof
Bzn
Trolls

Just scraped my saab against a wall, feel like shit
Dont do so..

Great 👍🏾.
Have just parked my own i have had for a couple of month now and it drive so smooth and right after, i read about You and the scrapping 🙋🇩🇰👍🏾
No wondwr they went bankrupt.
Disno
Subaru please save Saab from this electric vehicle nonsense company!!!
very very very slow production. Saab wasn't very popular.
Go to GM. They make shit tons of cars very quickly, where lack of quality is their trading mark.
Saab was never popular so there is no hurry. In fact fast production would only result in workers having too much free time.
They could fire some workers but i think it's better to work slower and better if there is no hurry.
Good things take time
Perhaps, but my 2004 9-3 still holds up in all respects against the alternatives out there. Nothing but Saabs in my driveway... LOL
Due to all these idiots who worked there it’s a miracle any cars went out at all...
Nice car. Poor quality.
