New Saab 9-4x

The turbocharged V6 pumps out 295 lb-ft. of torque ****** between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm. The engine is mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission and is capable of propelling the crossover to 60 mph in around 7.7 seconds with all-wheel-drive. Saab says to expect combined driving to net around 18 mpg.

Saab’s all-wheel-drive – dubbed XWD – will be standard on the Aero and optional on the base 9-4X. The system, already offered in the 9-3 and 9-5, features a Haldex center differential. It adds an electronically-controlled rear limited-slip differential called eLSD capable of splitting up to 50 percent of torque between the rear wheels. An adjustable DriveSense suspension with real-time damping shocks can be toggled between “comfort” and “sport” modes. A separate “Eco” button re-maps the throttle pedal and gear shift patterns for optimal fuel economy.
