A

SP CIOUS

ND

EFFICIENT

INTERIOR

WITH EXPANDABLE CARGO ROOM

From the outside, the Saab 900

isn't a very large car. It has the same

overall dimensions as many compact

automobiles.

Yet it has as much luggage space

as a large luxury sedan. Moreover,

the Saab's luggage space can be

quickly and easily expanded until the

car has as much usable carrying

capacity as a small station wagon.

Part of the reason for the gen

erous interior space is the lack

of

a

long drive shaft tunnel through the

floor Since the Saab uses front-wheel

drive, there's

no

drive shaft running

beneath the passenger compartment

and stealing floor space. By elim

inating the hump

in

the middle of the

floor, Saab provided much more

legroom for all the occupants and

made the car much more comfortable.

he body design

in

both three

door and four-door styles allows

plenty

of

headroom for rear-sea t pas

sengers, an unusual treat , especially

in a hatchback design.

Saab's three-door model was one

of the first and mo st practical hatch

back styles introduced by an auto

manufacturer and it combines many

of

the virtues

of

a sedan, a coupe and

a station wagon. It's more aerody

namically slippery and less bulky

than a conventional wagon but

still provides lots

of

cargo

space,with the convenience

of a bumper-level loading

height.

he four-door sedan is

preferred by lovers of more

traditional sedans, but it too

has an expandable cargo deck for

occasional hauling jobs.

Without any expansion at all, the

three-door body provides a 21.3-cubic

foot trunk; 14.9 cubic feet by SAE

standards, which reflect the amount

of standard-sized luggage that can

be fitted

in

the space. he figures for

the four-door model are 21.8 cubic

feet and 14.2 cubic feet SAE.

By lowering the rear seats, an

operation which requires only a few

moments and

no

tools, the cargo area

is more than doubled,

to

56.5 cubic

feet in the three-door and 53.0 cubic

feet in the four-door. he large hatch

on

the three-door model and the low

sill make loading and unloading

bulky items much easier.

Under a hatch on the floor

of

the luggage space is a well for the

spare tire which also has enough

room for carrying a jack, tools and

emergency gear.

Other convenient carrying space

inside the car includes the lockable

glove compartment, pockets on the

inside of the front doors , and recesses

for coins and other accessories in

both the center console and on the

dashboard.

N W ANSWERS TO N W TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS

Saab Scania

AB

the company

that built your new Saab 900, is one

of the world leaders

in

specialized

transportation technology.

The corporation s three major

divisions attack an extraordinary

range of technical problems every day

in

the course

of

manufacturing trucks,

buses, military fighter aircraft and

turboprop airliners,

in

addition to

high-performance cars.

Sca ia

buses ha

ve rece tly bee i tmd ced in

some parts o the United Stales

Saab Scania s unique position as

the only manufacturer in the world

who

is

simultaneously involved

in

building cars, trucks and aircraft

gives the corporation a real techno

logical edge. New information and

ideas flow constantly among the

three divisions,

so

that a technique

developed

in

one field may find an

application

in

another.

When the Saab Car Division

designed your 900, for instance, they

drew on the research that the

Aerospace Division conducted in

aerodynamics and ergonomics. That

research is reflected

in

the Saab s

body shape and in the efficient

arrangement of the cockpit. The

engine

in

your car was developed and

manufactured

by

the Scania Division,

which brought its years of expe

rience in turbocharging diesel truck

engines

to

bear

in

creating the

passenger car turbocharger.

The Aerospace Division has

received orders from the Swedish

government

for

a new all-purpose,

military jet, the JAS,

to

be

delivered

in

the 1990s. The techniques and

materials that

will

have to be devel-

oped to make the JAS a reality will

almost certainly find later applica

tions

in

new Saab cars and Scania

trucks.

UNDERWRITING THE

RISKS OF INNOVATION

The corporation is deeply

in-

volved

in

several areas of specialized

transport, and this diversity gives

Saab Scania another tremendous

advantage over other manufacturers.

t

gives the corporation a financial

stability that very few car builders

enjoy today.

While recession has forced other

car builders to slow their research

and development programs and

to

be

conservative about introducing new

technical features, Saab has been able

to take the risks of developing better

and more sophisticated systems.

The financial strength of the

Saab Scania group has permitted

important long-term investments

in

other areas and has allowed work to
