Saab Cars North America offers tuning options for the 9-3 and 9-5 models, including a power boost up to 30 bhp (22kW).
Saab wants to improve its U.S. market offerings.
Saab Cars North America and Swiss tuner Hirsch Performance AG have partnered to offer aftermarket performance parts that will be sold through select U.S. dealers beginning this spring.
John Anderson, head for aftermarket sales at Saab Cars North America, stated that Saab has a long-standing relationship with Hirsch in Europe. Now we can offer performance enhancements to Saab customers in the U.S.
Anderson explained that customers have the advantage of performance parts being installed by authorized dealers. This does not affect the vehicle’s warranty or emissions ratings.
Tuning options include an increase of power by 30 bhp (22kW) on the Saab 9-3 or 9-5 models, respectively for the 2.0 liter or 2.8-liter engines.
These two models also come with wheels, a sport exhaust system and a performance spring set.
Hirsh Performance offers a variety of interior options for the 9-3, 9-5, including a carbon instrument panel and aluminum pedals.
