Overview & Reviews

For 2006, the Saab 9-7X's V8 receives Displacement on Demand technology. Saab says that this feature enables fuel economy gains of up to 5 percent by reducing the number of cylinders engaged in the V8's combustion process. The 9-7X's inline six-cylinder engine has been updated, too; it now produces 290 horsepower, a 15-hp gain. Other changes this year include a standard stability control system, an optional navigation system (which had been promised for the 2005 model, but not delivered) and the ability to order the rear-seat DVD-based entertainment system on models equipped with the moonroof.

• Long list of standard luxury features, strong lineup of engines, quality interior materials.

• Attempts to disguise its domestic origins not altogether successful, hard to justify price premium over Buick and GMC cousins.

  My car is in the shop while Im typing! - 2006 Saab 9-7X
  By NUBULLY - February 13 - 12:23 pm

  Run away from this SUV. When we leased this SUV, GM had a promo: give us 27 months. Well, this morning when I tried to start the engine it turned over but did not start (for the 5th time). I have 4 more months until the 27 months are up. I gave them 27 months and I know to stay away!!!! THIS is why you lease autos, if I purchased this SUV I would be out my mind right now. The car drives nice but it gets horrid gas mileage and its been in the shop a lot. The interior fit and finish are still good. The XM/Radio antenna wasnt installed properly as well as the R/S mirror was 1/2 installed when we took delivery. NYBULLY

  Terribly disappointed - 2006 Saab 9-7X
  By Terribly disappointe - November 7 - 11:30 pm

  I have been a Saab fan for years and have really never heard anything bad said about them. I bought mine used in June, 2009. It only had 38,000 miles on it. I had it in the service repair shop 4 times in the first month of ownership. Twice for suspension problems and twice for door seals. The suspension seems to be ok now but the seals obviously are not. It still sounds like the windows are down when riding above 45mph. The MPG is HORRIBLE! It gets 12, sometimes 13 MPG around town (not heavy traffic either). It has only gotten 16 on the highway. I will not fault Saab. I fault GM for trying to tweak a normal American SUV into a Saab. Maybe I just got a bad one.
