Saab 9-3 II (YS3F)
Compact SedanProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Saab 9-3 II (chassis code YS3F) is a compact executive sedan in production from 2002 to 2008, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.8 to 2.8 liters.
Released a few years after the introduction of the 9-5 (YS3E), the Gen2 9-3 had an improved exterior design. While the vehicle was notably smaller, from many angles it looks even better. Still, the 9-3 II has a similar suspension setup to that found in the 9-5.
Engine-wise, Saab was pulling a full range of GM motors into the 9-3, now that it was firmly within GM's corporation structure.
