Overview & Reviews

This all-new SUV from Saab is the Swedish automaker's attempt to tap the distinctly American thirst for large four-wheel-drive family vehicles.

• Tightly controlled handling, long list of standard luxury features, strong lineup of engines.

• Attempts to disguise its domestic origins not altogether successful, hard to justify price premium over Buick and GMC cousins, no stability control.

  Unique enough to be a SAAB - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Viggen23 - February 11 - 5:53 pm

  This was a great first attempt by Saab to enter the SUV market. It is basically like a mini-Cadillac Escalade. Great unique styling sets it apart. On a 1000 mile road trip from OR to CA I didnt see another one on the road. Very plush and comfortable on the inside. As a true Saab afficionado, the ignition location in the center makes me feel like this is the real deal and not just a re-badge. Plenty of power, but acceleration up hills is a bit lackluster, I wish it had a turbo like my old 9-5. Fuel economy on the road trip was the as- advertised 21 mpg, luckily it runs on regular unleaded. All in all, great car with plenty of comfort and room to haul your stuff, plus the ability to tow.

  Excellent performance - 2005 Saab 9-7X

  The driving experience this car provides is awesome. I was surprised by the tremendous amount of power generated by the lineup of engines.

  9-7X definitely a "sport" utility. - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Jeff - July 7 - 5:20 pm

  This car handles like you would expect a european car to handle, tight and responsive, doesnt feel like a truck at all. The inline six provides plenty of power and the four wheel disc brakes stop it effortlessly without a bit of fade. The interior is neat and clean without excess. The exterior styling is very clean also, the signature Saab front grille and headlight treatments distance it from its GM brethren. Overall great vehicle.

  New Saab SUV - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By JC - July 3 - 4:36 am

  I need a 4 wheel drive vehicle and wanted something towards the top of the line within my price range. With the employee discount deal, the Saab met those requirements. Also liked the all- inclusive deal...You only can choose between a sunroof or a DVD player. I took the sunroof. The ride is OK, but a bit you do feel the road quite a bit. Bottom Line: good deal for the price.

  very nice. - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By DC51 - April 18 - 12:33 am

  Recently purchased the Linear 97x. Ive owned 5 SUVs since 1990 and this is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. The Saab looks great and after 1 month of ownership I have yet to see another one on the road. Handles like a european sedan and comes fully loaded ! XM, On-Star, premium leather, DVD, side impact air bags, all standard. Rides great, looks great and comes loaded. Look forward to next 100,000 miles.

  Impressed for Now - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Phillip - November 30 - 1:53 am

  Very pleased with the purchase so far. You can really notice the change made to the handling by GM. However, a close family memeber has a GMC Envoy and you really see a lot of the same characteristics in the Saab. With GMs history I can only guess that how durable the 9-7 will be. Although, you cant go wrong with the factory offered 4 year bumper to bumper warranty and 3 year service warranty. These were very appealing at purchase. In all, I would recommend the Saab, because I do not beleive you will find anything better for your money.

  Chevy in disguise - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Maverick - September 27 - 7:23 am

  Nice SUV and fully loaded with only the sunroof/rear dvd player option (must choose between the two for no additional charge). Basically a Chevy Trailblazer in disguise here until the 9-6X arrives next year. Lots of GM parts in the interior, makes you wonder about the long term reliablity. The positive is that you usually wont see yourself coming and going while driving down the street.

  Sweet Vehicle - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Kev - February 18 - 7:56 am

  We are very happy with our new Saab 9-7X. It drives like a car and has an elegant look to it. We think Saab has done a great job on the design. When we are out enjoying our Saab, we always get second looks.

  Great Value - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Mike - December 24 - 11:13 pm

  Driving between 35,000 & 45,000 per year, I am in & out of vehicles more often. Ive been searching for several months, but nothing struck me. Even though it is on a GM platform, the 9-7X is nothing like one. Perfect vehicle for one who is on the road for a living. Very confortable, user friendly, and suprisingly fuel efficient. The 9-7Xis priced right in comparision to its competitors....The 3 year (36,000 mi) free scheduled maintenance sweetens the deal. Highly reccomend this vehicle..

  Saab 9-7X Linear - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By DM - August 23 - 7:30 pm

  I am very pleased with the purchase of my Saab 9-7X Linear. It rides real smooth and has the safety I am looking for. The seating is very comfortable and offers a lot of room. I do find everything too compact. There are not enough areas to store little things. The gas mileage is not very efficient for todays gas problems. I average 15.6 miles to the gallon. That is including both Highway and City driving. This is a luxury SUV in my opinion. They offer onStar and satellite radio free for 3 months.
