Saab 9-X Air concept car: first photos and video
Saab has lopped the top off its 9-X show car to produce this – the new 9-X Air concept revealed today. No prizes for guessing that the aptly named Air is a convertible version of Saab's 9-X wannabe executive hatchback. The future 9-1 cabrio, in other words.
The 9-X hatchback was shown at the 2008 Geneva motor show to preview Saab's new 9-1 hatchback family due in 2010. It's been a long time coming, but the Swedes will finally gain a proper rival for downsizers who'd otherwise consider other premium tots such as the BMW 1-series or .
Saab 9-X Air: the lowdownMake no mistake, Saab is serious about building the 9-1 soft-top. Okay, so some of the concept flourishes will be lost (whose aren't?), but today's announcement is remarkably candid for the cautious Swedes: 'The 9-X Air concept demonstrates what a future convertible from Saab could like.'
The four-seater chop-top's design language is naturally carried over from the 9-X hatchback, but Saab claims the roof system is sufficiently clever to warrant patents to protect its intellectual property.
Most striking are the steeply angled buttresses rising from the boot to where a C-pillar should be; combined with the canopy-style glasshouse dropping dramatically to the rear of the car, it gives the 9-X Air a unique look. This thing exudes hunched-up energy, like it's ready to pounce.
Saab convertibles: the heritageIt's no coincidence that Saab is launching the 9-X Air at the Paris motor show on 2 October 2008. It'll be exactly 25 years since the company's first convertible concept was shown at the 1983 Frankfurt expo.
Saab claims the new 9-X Air reinterprets the four-seater, all-season soft-top in a smaller, cheaper package. But GM's strategic planners must be hoping that the world hasn't given up waiting for the new genuinely new products Saab has been crying out for all decade.
