Saab 9-3X - there's the BioPower!

I have to say this caught me by surprise, but apparently the two engines available in the coming Saab 9-3X will be the 2,0T 210 hp with and without BioPower! This means that Saab will finally give the car buyers the option to buy a 4 wheel drive Saab that runs on E85. Great news, and definitly a car I'll be looking into when it hits the streets.

I just hope they've managed to make it a bit less thirsty than the current 9-3 2,0T...

Saab 9-3X - where's the BioPower?

Norwegian car magazine bilnorge.no has an article on the coming Saab 9-3X and 9-5. Personally, I think the 9-3X looks really neat, but then I'm also a fan of the regular 9-3.

This particular car is fitted with the familiar 2.0T 210 hp engine, and of course the XWD-system from Haldex that we already know from the 9-3 XWD models. There is talk about diesel engines as well, like the 1,9TTiD 180 hp.

Strangely enough, though, no talk about BioPower! The 2.0T enigine is already built for E85, so there's not a whole lot that needs to be done in order to give the customers a 9-3X BioPower. Where is it, Saab, where??
