For 2005, Saab introduces its new entry-level model based off of the Subaru Impreza wagons. The 9-2X wagon is available in two models: Linear and Aero. All models are equipped with AWD and available in five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions. The linear is powered by a 165 hp 2.5L 4-cyl. engine while the Aero is propelled by a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cyl. engine dispensing 227 hp. Standard equipment on both models includes power exterior mirrors, remote keyless entry, and cruise control. The Aero is upgraded with front fog lights, sport suspension, light alloy wheels, automatic climate control, and a 6-disc in-dash CD changer. An optional Premium Package containing leather-faced seats and xenon headlights is also available on all models.
