Unveiled at the SEMA Show, the 9-7X Aero Concept is the result of a collaboration between Saab and Los Angeles-based customization company DUB. The car was inspired by the Saab Aero X Concept.


"DUB was really inspired by the Saab Aero X concept car and the ‘Born from Jets’ theme," says Myles Kovacs, president and co-founder of DUB Magazine and Industries. "We wanted to integrate it into a custom vehicle."

Inside the 9-7X Aero Concept features suede and leather interior trim and an exclusive media system equipped with DVD/TV, two amplifiers and two 12-inch sub woofers.

Technical highlights include three-inch lowered suspension and a new exhaust System by Borla.

Shows such as SEMA provide an opportunity to try new things and quickly get the evolution out in front of the public," Julie Kenar, Saab Automobile USA 9-7X marketing manager explains.

"This will act as a good gauge for whether this concept is one which resonates with customers."

Earlier this year, Saab announced the 9-7X Altitude Edition, of which only 500 will be produced. Beyond the extremely rich standard equipment of the 9-7X, the Altitude Edition includes 18" alloy polished wheels, side assist steps, a rear DVD player, and an exclusive carbon fiber gray metallic paint. The package will be offered at a savings of nearly $1,000 than if the items were ordered individually.
