The Saab 9-2X is a passenger car model from the Swedish car brand Saab . The 9-2X was produced in Japan in the Ota Gunma factory of Fuji Heavy Industries together with the identical Subaru Impreza .
At first glance, the two models differ little in appearance, although only the passenger compartment and the doors are the same. The fenders, bonnet, tailgate, lights and bumpers have all been changed for Saab. The interior of the Saab was largely taken over from the Impreza, which gave it the nickname Saabaru .
The 9-2X was the first Saab to have permanent all-wheel drive and boxer engines . The basic engine was a 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer with 123 kW (165 hp) and a boxer turbo engine with a displacement of 2.0 liters and 169 kW (227 hp) for the top Aero version. The latter also had a limited slip differential on the rear axle for better traction and easier handling.
Production of the model was discontinued at the end of the 2006 model year due to lack of demand. The vehicle was only offered in North America , where Saab's range of models was to be expanded to include a slightly smaller and cheaper vehicle.
In Europe, including Germany and Saab's home country Sweden, the 9-2X was not officially sold.
