The overview
The short-lived 9-4X was developed under GM's ownership. It gave Saab an entry into the growing luxury compact SUV. It is based on the Cadillac SRX and built alongside it in Mexico. It is offered in front- and all-wheel drive. Engine choices are GM's 3.0-liter V6 and 2.8-liter turbocharged V6, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 9-4X drives similarly to the SRX. Handling is responsive but the ride is overly firm. The seats are supportive and fit and finish is good. Rear and side visibility is problematic, however. Saab DriveSense brings adaptive suspension technology to the uplevel Aero trim, with Sport, Comfort, and Eco modes.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
