THE_Saab 9-4X BioPower Concept confirms Saab's plans to enter the growing crossover segment with a dynamic, driver-focused vehicle inspired by Scandinavian values in design and respect for the environment.

The concept's progressive design features are combined with a responsible, fun-to-drive appeal based on BioPower engine technology and a cutting edge all-wheel-drive system.

"This concept is a clear statement of what our brand is about," said Saab Automobile managing director, Jan ke Jonsson.

"It is also an important next step in our plans to enter new market segments with distinctive product offerings."

The design of the Saab 9-4X BioPower Concept reflects a Scandinavian principle of simplicity of form, with clean and uncluttered lines, free of any cladding, mouldings or roof bars, and defining 'ice-block' surface and lighting themes.

The progressive frontal styling and interior design elements also draw inspiration from Saab's widely-acclaimed Aero X concept.
