2008 Saab 9-7X Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Saab 9-7X:

[Compared to the Trailblazer] the 9-7X has a Euro-style look inside and out, while the all-wheel-drive truck platform has been tuned to the pavement with better body control, a lower ride height, and quicker, more linear steering.

-- Automobile

... the 9-7X comes standard with all the latest amenities including heated leather seats, automatic climate control, a driver information computer, wood accents and the OnStar satellite communications system.

-- Edmunds.com

Inside, the 9-7X wears handsome dark leather with contrasting stitching, wood dash inserts, and the sideways, flippy-outy Saab cupholder. It's a nicely detailed treatment, with typically Saab shapes.

What reviewers liked least about the Saab 9-7X:

Unfortunately, there are no traditional Saab turbocharged engines available.

-- Edmunds.com

Most of the time it keeps its power-hungry nature under control, but when it does push into lower gears the engine - particularly the V-8 - makes an unhappy noise out back.

Saab 9-7X Comparisons:

...hard to justify price premium over Buick and GMC cousins...

-- Edmunds.com

In all, the 9-7X felt so closely akin to the other GM platform-mates, it might not pass a blindfold taste test.

-- The Car Connection

Best one-liner about the Saab 9-7X:

Saab appears to have gone about the job of making the TrailBlazer its own with typical Swedish thoroughness.

-- Automobile

This faux import comes all the way from the Nordic lands of Moraine, Ohio.
