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.

  The Princess Mobile - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By James - March 23 - 7:23 am

  My Princess is my wife. The Saab 97X is her chariot. We were looking for a road worthy and safe vehicle with some class. Also, made in America was a key issue. With a GM drive train and frame we knew it was a solid investment. The standard features would have cost $7-9,000 more on comparable vehicles. Its a dream to drive... when she lets me.

  Awesome Vehicle - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By CMD - January 31 - 3:03 am

  Bought after my TrailBlazer was totaled in an accident, it held up so well I knew I wanted another vehicle on this platform. The 9-7X may look a lot like the TrailBlazer but it drives completely different. The handling is absolutely fabulous for a truck based SUV. The 4.2 L inline six is an excellent engine, I looked at the V8 but I feel that the six is just as good. Fuel economy may be bad for a car but it is an SUV so I find my averages of 17.3 city and 22.8 highway (about 72-74 mph) to be acceptable.

  WOW, this is great - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By Mike - September 17 - 2:23 pm

  This is the best car I have ever had. I have had BMWs, Range Rovers, Mercedes,and an Acura MDX. Nothing is as impressive as the Saab 9-7x. It handles like its on rails and the 5.3 liter V-8 unleashes amazing amounts of thrust to my rear wheels. I pretty much live in my car because I have to drive all over New England for bussiness. Trust me you will love it!

  Best Saab Ive Owned - 2005 Saab 9-7X
  By will - April 7 - 11:30 pm

  This is my fouth Saab (I also own a 2001 9-3 convertible) and this is the best one yet. While it may have more than its share of GM truck infused in it, Saab has made a very creative take on it, and you really dont know youre driving a truck. It rides higher than a car, but its much easier to get into than the Volvo, Mercedes, or Land Rover SUVs. It also rides better and has more cargo room than the BMW. And its thousands less than all of those. Even if youre considering an American SUV, check the Saab out and youll be pleasantly surprised with its quality, impressive handling and performance, and individuality. The interior is worlds better than the Chevy and on par with luxury SUVs.

  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
  By jjones - July 27 - 7:33 am

  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.

  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.

  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..
