Overview

The 2010 Saab 9-3X Wagon makes for an excellent contender in the wagon vehicle class. With only a single trim on offer, the Saab 9-3X has a base MSRP of $36,975, competing directly with the Audi A4 Wagon, the Volvo XC70, and the Skoda Octavia Scout. Only a 2.0 L Turbocharged inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 207 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 8.2 seconds, the Saab 9-3X Wagon maintains a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. Saab offers the 9-3X Wagon in 8 stunning colors, with the Carbon Grey Mettalic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

If you're in the market for a wagon, the 2010 Saab 9-3X Wagon is worth considering. It competes with the Audi A4 Wagon, the Volvo XC70, and the Skoda Octavia Scout. The 9-3X offers a spacious cargo area, making it perfect for hauling gear and groceries. However, it falls short in terms of fuel economy and power. The interior materials are also not up to par with its competitors. Additionally, the rear seats may not provide adequate comfort. On the positive side, the Saab 9-3X got a price drop for 2010, and there's a new addition to the lineup called the 9-3 X SportCombi, which offers a higher ride height and an electronic slip differential. Consider these factors when making your decision.
