2014 Saab 9-3 Aero: on sale December 10

The 2014 Saab 9-3 Aero sedan has been unveiled by the Swedish brand's new owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), ahead of its international launch on December 10.


Accompanied by the first details of the new Saab 9-3 Aero sedan – a model last produced in April 2011 – the NEVS announcement comes just two days after production of the model officially restarted at the Trollhattan assembly plant in Sweden and three months since the first NEVS-built pre-production Saab vehicle rolled off the production line in September.

Looking almost identical to the 2011-built model – barring the griffin-free badging and larger 18-inch alloy wheels – the new Saab 9-3 Aero will be initially sold in China, with the car maker's Chinese owner saying a small number of vehicles will also be sold directly to Swedish customers via its website.

On sale in Sweden from December 10, the 2014 Saab 9-3 is priced from 279,000 Swedish Krona ($47,300), with its "previously recognised" 162kW turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine tied to a manual transmission, and 289,000 krona ($49,000) in automatic guise.

NEVS says it will produce “about 10 cars a week” initially, with numbers to increase depending on customer demand.

An electric car based on the Saab 9-3 is due to launch in China either late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2014.

NEVS, which signed a purchase agreement to buy Saab in June 2012, is yet to reveal any plans to bring the new model to local shores.
