After the presentation of the Saab 9-3 Concept to ePower Paris Motor Show in 2010, Saab now (well, yes ...) to a fleet of these electric variant in the Trollhättan factory.
The first fleet 9-3 ePower Concept is built on the so-called Frickeboa department, where Saab builds prototypes by hand, and staff training. The cars - all SportCombi's - are developed for internal use. For this Saab has worked with various external parties.

Later this year, selected customers should decide to go with the first electric drive Saab. The 9-3 ePower has an electric powertrain with an electric motor 184. This brings the great Swede off the mark, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes just 8.5 seconds, including the torque from the first meter is already available. The top speed of 150km / h.

Its lithium-ion batteries in the middle of the car, the Swede placed approximately 200 km away. The SportCombi's hardly differ in appearance from their conventional brethren. The interior has given way to the rear two seats separated by a large center console for the batteries and an optimal weight.
