Developed with engineering specialist American Axle, it provides as much as 10 percent better than front-wheel drive versions of the economy 9-3. Sources say the new 9-3 just under 4.7 million long and slightly wider than the current 9-3.
At least one version of the car will be from the UK-built 200 hp, 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with the Mini Countryman used supplies. Saab and BMW, gave the deal the day before this year's Paris show.
Saab would also cancel a supply deal for new diesel engines, but company sources are not drawn on the likely source, saying only that "both parties are open to exploring further opportunities in the context of this relationship in the future."
