Product Overview

Saab 9-3 II (chassis code YS3F) facelift is a affordable compact executive sedan in production from 2007 to 2014. It was available with a range of V6 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.8 to 2.8 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the exterior of the 9-3 received some notable changes. On the other hand, the new engine lineup was largely the same engines with higher rated outputs.
Still, as the drivetrain was mostly GM, the 9-3 remained easy to fix and somewhat reliable.
