Move over fossil fuel – that’s just so passé – or that’s the message as the UK’s most high-profile and best-known businessman Sir Richard Branson takes delivery of a Saab 9-5 BioPower!

The stunning Saab Aero X Concept has been crowned ‘Concept Car of the Year’ by Britain’s longest-established car magazine.

The view from the driver's seat is the main focus of the model year 2007 enhancements to the Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon, SportWagon and Convertible ranges.

Saab Great Britain is delighted to announce the world premiere of the 210 bhp 2.3t BioPower engine in the new-look Saab 9-5 Saloon and Estate range. This car will be unveiled at the British International Motor Show which will be held in London in July. The addition of another BioPower variant, delivering 14 per cent more power and 11 per cent more torque whilst substantially cutting fossil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions when running on bioethanol E85 fuel, will extend Saab's leadership of the premium 'flex-fuel' segment.

Hoping to turn the British International Motor Show green with envy when it opens in July, Saab Great Britain is proud to have on show no less than three different environmentally-friendly models. All have the potential to deliver substantially reduced – or even zero – fossil CO2 emissions, due to their ability to run on one of the most talked about new transport fuels of the moment - bioethanol.

Saab Great Britain has continued its soar-away sales success with a best-ever result in the Motability market with sales growth of 87% in the last six months.

Cross functional co-operation to help solve the 'chicken and the egg' challenge over use of bioethanol in European markets outside Sweden.

Swedish premium car maker Saab has unveiled the new 9-3 Convertible 1.9 TiD turbo diesel variant at the Brussels International Motor Show.

Whilst the overall UK new car market limped through 2005, seeing total registrations decline by over 6 per cent compared to the previous year, with a 3 per cent drop in the premium segment, Saab continued to make enormous strides, enjoying a year-on-year sales growth of over 35 per cent. In volume terms, this equated to a total of 27,465 new Saabs sold in 2005, compared to 20,292 in 2004, taking its slice of the UK new car market to a record 1.14 per cent. This achievement becomes even more impressive, considering that that 2004 was itself a record year for Saab, with sales growing by 39 per cent compared to 2003.

Saab is raising the roof, celebrating two decades of Convertible sales success by introducing an eye-catching 20th anniversary model, the Saab 9-3 Convertible Cerulean edition.
