Smart technology solutions and modular construction method of Saab's concept car, the Phoenix will make the next generation 9-3 profitable.
Saab's new concept car is not only the elegant design study that is now displayed at the Geneva Motor Show, or the smart technology solutions that sits under the hood.
The concept of Phoenix is also a modular construction method, which will
make it possible to use more and more components and construction
details of all Saab models in the future.
Concept Phoenix contains a number of technology solutions that will fit into the new module system.
* The new electric axle exwd give Saab a hybrid operation, together with
opportunities for all-wheel drive and extra power when needed.
* 1.6-liter gasoline engine as the Saab purchase from BMW.
* Fuel-saving details such as start / stop function, automatically
switchable generator and water pump and fuel shut-off when braking.
• A new fuel tank made of stainless steel. Three kilos lighter and
half as expensive as a conventional plastic water tank and also
recyclable.
