  • Saab 9-3 SportCombi with all-electric propulsion

Making its public debut at the Paris Motor Show later this month, the Saab 9-3 ePower is the prototype for a test fleet of 70 vehicles which will participate in extensive field trials in Sweden early next year.

The performance of the cars will be evaluated under a variety of real world driving conditions as part of the development process for a purpose-built, electric Saab vehicle. Targets to be verified include a projected driving range of approximately 200 kilometers through the use of high density energy storage in lithium-ion battery cells.

"Thanks for taking care of me and my car."
From: Janis K. of Otis, MA
Just wanted to thank you for your kindness and experience, I really appreciate you and your staff working late and in the cold to finish the work on my car, thank you!
From: Jeffrey W. of Pittsfield, MA.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great service; you folks went overboard to have my Saab ready for 5pm, sending someone to Deerfield to get a part was above and beyond what I expected. But it certainly was appreciated. And what a great surprise to find that my car had been washed and the interior cleaned! Fantastic! If I purchase another Saab, it will be because of Performance Automotive.
