Despite all the drama Saab has been through the past couple of years-being left behind by General Motors and bought by Victor Muller of the Spyker company-the company still makes good cars. The 9-5 is a testament to that dedication, as is the new Saab 9-4X SUV, a new crossover SUV first released in 2011.

The 9-4X is a five seater. It was made back when Saab was part of General Motors. Saab was spun off when GM was dealing with difficult financial issues. The Saab SUV was not marketed well by GM as a result. A newly independent Saab is now finally ready to roll out its crossover SUV.
Saab is now separated from General Motors, but the companies aren't completely free of each other, and that's particularly true in the case of the 9-4X. The 9-4X is being built alongside the Cadillac SRX at a GM facility in Mexico. The two are similar with the same V6 engine, the same six-speed automatic transmission and the same all-wheel-drive option.
