Saab 9X Air - First Look

Check out the latest photos of Saab’s 9X Air concept - a convertible coupe with hybrid powertrain and room for two passengers in the back. 9X Air is trying to shoot for a 40-plus miles per gallon fan club - with the help of lithium-ion batteries to power up the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and E85 flex-fuel there should be no trouble achieving this rating. Whether or not this turbo-hybrid powertrain makes it into the 9X has yet to be seen, but with all the pumped-up hybrid competition coming soon (Chevy Volt, Cruze, Honda Insight, to name but a few) Saab will have to turn out all the tricks in order to grab attention at your local dealership.
