Saab brings power to the people

Saab has announced that its 1.9 TTiD engine is now available in all 9-3 Vector Sport variants, bringing this revolutionary technology into a completely new price range.

Previously only available in the flagship Aero model, prices will start from just £25,325 for the Vector Sport variant.

With a combined fuel consumption of 50.4mpg for the Saloon, and an exceptionally low CO2 emissions rate of just 149g/km, this engine will also offer class-leading economy, together with in-gear performance on a par with the 2.8V6 turbo petrol engine, making it an attractive proposition for fleet decision makers and business motorists.

These new reduced emissions figures improve the Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) banding with immediate effect, significantly reducing the on-the-road costs for these models as many of the vehicles now fall into lower Vehicle Excise Duty bands. As a result of the reduced CO2 emissions, customers looking to purchase New Saab 9-3 Aero 1.9TTiD models could enjoy a tax saving of up to £646 per annum.

This also means that the TTiD models will be exempt from the proposed £25 a day congestion charge for vehicles with higher emissions figures in Central London.

David Pugh of Saab Great Britain, said: ‘The addition of the TTiD engine to our Vector Sport model means that we can offer top level diesel performance with superb fuel efficiency in a greater number of our cars - this really is putting technology in a price range that has never been seen before.'
