Impressive CO2 reduction on Saab’s latest 9-3 diesels
Saab are now able to offer CO2 emissions of 119 g/km within the latest Saab 9-3 range. This will greatly help their appeal to private and business customers keen to reduce fuel consumption and their carbon footprint.
For Model Year 2011, all 9-3 diesel engines have more advanced twin turbocharged engines and, in the saloon, all three engines give CO2 emissions of 119 g/km and combined cycle fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg.
Saab engineers embarked on an 18-month development program which focused on achieving an average 12 percent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The aim was to reduce emissions to below 120 g/km, a key vehicle taxation threshold in the UK market.
