The Saab 9-1X is speculated to be a future subcompact luxury car from Saab Automobile. It would be based on the Saab 9-X Biohybrid concept car shown at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show, and expected to compete with other premium small cars such as the BMW Mini.[1] No production date has been announced.
Saab Managing Director Jan-Åke Jonsson said the model would likely not be on the global GM Gamma platform, but did not confirm whether Saab would use a custom platform or a modified GM Delta II platform.[2] Saab intends to build the vehicle at their Trollhättan factory.[citation needed] Saab's new owner, Spyker Cars, announced that they had plans to put the 9-1 into production by 2014.[3]
