Auto Express Car Reviews Text: Angus Frazer / Photos: Matt Vosper June 2007 Rating: Saab is promising its new 9-3 family will have the X-factor when it goes on sale in the UK in September. With 178bhp and 400Nm of pulling power on offer, engine response is excellent... All three models in the line-up - the Cabriolet, Sport Saloon and SportWagon - have been given a major facelift, with styling inspired by the Aero X concept, which Auto Express drove in March last year. But despite major visual changes, which include fresh headlamp units and revised panels from the A-pillars forward, the 9-3 isn't an all-new car. Underneath it uses the same platform as before, which is shared with the current Vauxhall Vectra. We got behind the wheel of the flagship Aero SportWagon, powered by a new 1.9-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine. Top-spec Aero models are distinguishable from the rest of the range by sportier grilles and sharper bumpers front and rear. The look perfectly complements the new headlamps, which feature a smart, additional lighting strip above the main light unit. The firm has also removed all the door and bumper rubbing strips to give the 9-3 a cleaner overall shape. And there's no doubt it looks handsome in estate form. Saab's new TTiD engine has been designed to provide instant throttle response throughout the rev range. Two turbochargers, one small, one large, are used. When the driver presses the throttle, the smaller turbo is able to react faster than the bigger unit, so from idle to 1,500rpm, it is used. From there, the second turbocharger is brought into play, while from 3,000rpm on, the larger one works on its own. In practice, it performs well. With 178bhp and 400Nm of pulling power on offer, engine response is excellent, and the car is capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds, which is faster than the equivalent Audi A4 Avant or Jaguar X-Type Estate. Saab has improved the 9-3's refinement overall, but while the car has very little wind noise at speed, we still noticed a slight engine vibration through the pedals. With its six-speed manual gearbox, the 1.9 TTiD returns 47.1mpg. That drops to 41.5mpg if you choose the six-speed automatic gearbox instead. However, the smooth auto is easier to live with than the slightly notchy feeling manual transmission. The 9-3's brake pedal is well weighted, while Aero models also benefit from uprated sports brakes. For those seeking a true sporting experience, Saab's front-wheel-drive chassis does not feel state-of-the-art. The company points out that as the 9-3 has a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, there really was no need to change its underpinnings. How-ever, although it is comfortable enough, there's no disputing the fact that rivals such as the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4 offer great handling and better body control. Saab's German competitors also build better interiors. The Swedish firm freshened up the 9-3's cabin last year, and has introduced new sound-deadening material into the rooflining of this model. But the quality of the plastics used and the standard of fit and finish are simply not up to BMW or Audi standards. The comfortable and supportive heated front seats are excellent, though, and while rear legroom is not particularly generous, the cargo area is well thought out. As with the saloon, the rear seats split and fold 60:40. The boot is well shaped, and the middle section of the floor can be folded upwards and used to prevent shopping bags from sliding around. So despite its shortcomings in other areas, the 9-3 does make a practical tourer.

Safety remains a typical Saab strong point, but although the 9-3's handling will satisfy most people, the car doesn't offer the crisp dynamics of some of its German rivals, nor is the build quality of its cabin as good. AT A GLANCE It's a lifestyle estate rather than a full-on load-lugger, but the Saab's boot area is roomy and well thought out.

Auto Express Car Reviews Rating: For : Safe, good value, pacy 1.9-litre TTiD engine Against : Ageing, uninspiring to drive, dated switchgear Driving The front-wheel-drive 9-3 does not feel state of the art from behind the wheel. It was facelifted in 2007, but as the company points out the 9-3 has a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, there really was no need to change its underpinnings. However, although it is comfortable enough, there’s no disputing the fact that rivals offer great handling and better body control. Mechanically though, there is a highlight – the twin-turbo 1.9-litre TTiD. The smaller turbocharger minimises lag and provides great throttle response, while the larger one helps it produce 400Nm and 178bhp. It’s smoother than the single-turbo 1.9-litre TiD, but can still get raucous when pushed hard. As with all Saabs, the manual gearshift is rubbery, too. The four-cylinder petrol alternatives are feeling their age now, but the 2.8-litre V6 turbo is an impressive performer. Marketplace The facelifted 9-3 is very much of the nip and tuck variety. The biggest changes came at the front, with a distinctive eyebrow light across the top of the main lamp. Elsewhere, there’s a cleaner look, and the new ‘ice-white’ tail lamps are stylish. Offered in saloon and Sport Wagon estate guises, the Saab offers a less expensive premium alternative to a BMW 3-Series or Audi A3. A line-up of fleet-focused Airflow, Linear SE and Vector Sport models are easy to follow, but while there’s a large range of engines, it’s the TiD 120 and 150 units that sell most strongly. Owning A new interior in 2006 still didn’t raise quality levels to the standards of rivals, and while it did reduce the button-count, some of the switchgear still appears dated. The soft seats offer excellent long-distance comfort though, and ergonomically, the safe Saab is intuitive to use. Furthermore, while rear legroom is not particularly generous, the saloon’s boot is decent and the Sport Wagon’s cargo area is well thought out. Cleverly, the middle section of the floor can be folded upwards and used to prevent shopping bags from sliding around. Equipment levels also impress, and the 1.9-litre diesel variants prove economical – more so than the slightly thirsty petrol units. Where the Saab’s sub-premium status shows is in retained values, though. They’re simply not as good as those of its German competitors.

Saab hopes its TTiD engine can help its latest 9-3 keep pace with the compact executive elite. Steve Walker reports The smooth, fast and economical TTiD twin-turbo diesel engine could be the best powerplant in the Saab 9-3 line-up. The car has been around for some time but it's still a relevant compact executive saloon, even if it must rely on value for money and the fact that it isn't German for most of its sales successes. It's very comfortable and relaxing motorway car that can still raise a smile on twisty roads. Saab has long prided itself on the leftfield appeal of its vehicles, happy to operate on the margins as a sanctuary for freethinking individuals determined not to follow the crowd and buy German. Spooky reliability and dashboards modelled on your sideboard stood them in good stead for a long time but more recently, big horsepower figures and sharky styling have been relied upon to draw the customers in. The 9-3 TTiD model covered here is a variation on this theme, blessed with a 180bhp twin-turbocharged diesel powerplant and a front end that's more aggressive than a basket of honey badgers. 180bhp is a useful amount to squeeze from a 1.9-litre diesel engine. TiD-badged versions of this unit that develop 120 and 150bhp are also available in the 9-3 but these lack the additional T of the TTiD and more crucially, its second turbocharger. Getting big power from a comparatively small capacity engine has helped Saab retain a strong fuel economy showing and keep weight down. This is weight over the front axel too, right where it could have highlighted the shortcomings of a powerful front-wheel-drive car in a market populated by rear-wheel-drive rivals. Where the Germans tend to employ six-cylinder diesels in order to achieve power of the TTiD's magnitude, the 1.9TTiD looks a sensible solution for the 9-3, that enticing horsepower figure only overshadowed by the highly muscular 400Nm torque rating. Powerful Saab models of the past often had trouble deploying their hefty bhp outputs effectively. As the turbocharger got into its stride and the wave of torque hit, the front wheels would struggle for grip and violent torque steer would often ensue. Today's front-wheel-drive 9-3 models effectively overcome these problems with a carefully-honed chassis achieving superior grip and the smooth power delivery of the TTiD unit. "Getting big power from a small capacity engine has helped Saab retain strong fuel economy while keeping weight down…." The engine uses a pair of turbochgargers working in sequence. A smaller blower spools up quickly to boost pulling power at low revs while the big hitter comes on stream once the engine's into its stride. It means that turbo lag - that pregnant pause between throttle input and the power coming on stream - is effectively reduced. It all helps make the 9-3 TTiD an amiable companion for everyday driving. The committed enthusiast will probably always plump for a rear-wheel-drive alternative but the Saab's composure and comfort on the motorway, coupled with its power and well-judged handling, give it a good balance for many drivers. The latest facelifted 9-3 inherited its dramatic frontal styling from the Aero X concept car that caused quite a stir at the 2006 Geneva motorshow. It's definitely not short of aggression and the 9-3's malevolent front end seems sure to have the desired effect on outside lane dawdlers when it looms up in their rear view mirrors. The extensive use of chrome to trim the grille and the bumper recesses that house the fog lights on plusher derivatives may not be to everyone's taste, especially those who favoured Saab products because they were notably less ostentatious that the German alternatives. The smoked glass tail lights must also have a question mark over them, especially on the SportWagon estate bodystyle. For some they will smack too readily of the aftermarket equivalents often seen fitted to souped-up Citroen Saxos and Vauxhall Corsas. Unlike many vehicles that campaign in this class, the SportWagon estate version offers some serious carrying capacity. There's 419 litres available with the rear seats in place and a whopping 1,273 litres of space available with the seats folded down. The recessed sub floor allows valuables to be stowed out of the view of prying eyes and can also be used to store wet or dirty gear without muddying everything else up. Despite its sporting looks, the rear hatch is actually fairly steeply raked, allowing for additional carrying capacity. This is where rivals such as the Alfa 159 Sportwagon and BMW's 3-Series Touring fall down, favouring style over practicality. Saab aims to offer both. The 9-3 has been campaigning since 2002 and it's no longer feeling as fresh as it once did in comparison to the big guns in the compact executive sector. The interior is not without its merits, however, with excellent seats that give a comfortable driving position and simple controls that will come as a pleasant change to drivers baffled by the complexity of the latest compact executive crop. The plastics are reasonable in terms of quality but there's rather too much of them with the ambiance inside the 9-3 missing the class of a 3 Series, A4 or C-Class. With a convertible, a saloon and a SportWagon estate, the 9-3 covers a fair bit of ground, which is crucially important for Saab, a company that has only two main product families. The range has been simplified of late and as it stands, there are four trim levels: Airflow, Liner SE, Vector Sport and Aero. The TTiD engine is only available in range-topping Aero form and prices start from £26,495 for the Sport Saloon. The SportWagon is £1,000 more and the Convertible commands a sizable £32,530 but equipment levels are quite high. This kind of pricing puts the 9-3 TTiD directly up against some very stiff competition. When you examine the BMW 3-Series line-up, for example, a big problem immediately leaps out. The 325d uses a six-cylinder diesel engine producing 197bhp and costs just over £1,000 more in SE trim. The Saab does 4mpg better in terms of fuel economy but the rear-wheel-drive BMW is going to be a tough nut for it to crack. The old bhp per Pound equation that Saab has traditionally used to leverage an advantage over the Germans doesn't stack up in this instance. The 9-3 TTiD gives great fuel economy returns for a 180bhp compact executive saloon. The official combined cycle figure of 47.9mpg will appeal to company car users as will the 159g/km CO2 emissions. Residual values aren't as strong as those of the German alternatives but the TTiD diesel should perform noticeably better than some of the other engine options, particularly in SportWagon estate form. The Saab 9-3 looks all the better for the inclusion of the 1.9-litre TTiD engine in it's portfolio. It's a smooth, refined powerplant that enhances the car's already admirable long distance cruising abilities while also giving diesel buyers the option of some serious pace. The 9-3 is showing its age in some key areas when compared to its longstanding German adversaries but the refreshed styling and the car's core strengths mean it still has something to offer. Average fuel economy of nearly 48mpg and an 8-second 0-60mph sprint are not to be sniffed at even in the ultra-competitive compact executive sector. If Saab could see its way clear to scaling back its prices for this engine a little or making the TTiD available in some of the more affordable trim levels, it could have a real winner on its hands. At £26,500, the TTiD Aero has some very capable rivals that are only slightly more expensive and this may serve to deprive it of some of the success it deserves. Overall, though, there's a lot to like about the car, especially as a hardworking motorway tool, and the addition of Saab's XWD 4x4 system could really up the fun factor.
