Saab sells well in November

Consumers appear to have gained some confidence in the global economic climate, it definitely looks to be the case for automotive consumers. Many car manufacturers have reported an increase in sales for November. This could coincide with the imminent VAT increase to 20% in the UK, with buyers trying to save at least 2.5% on a new car purchase.



Saab, the Swedish car maker who has not been doing very well lately appears to have turned a massive corner, it has reported a sales increase of 220% for new cars in November 2010 compared to the same month last year, bearing in mind November 2009 was boosted by the government backed scrappage scheme this is a massive achieve by Saab. Saab claim much of this recent success is down to its all-new Saab 9-5 saloon and the revised Saab 9-3 TTiD range.



Saab’s 9-5 is the first of a new and refreshed product line-up over the next 18 months; it has generated a lot of customer interest which has resulted in sales. The 9-5 will be joined next year by the Saab 9-4X, the first Saab crossover vehicle and the eagerly awaited Saab 9-5 estate car.



The popular Saab 9-3 model underwent an 18-month development programme focusing on achieving an average 12% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The revised 9-3 TTiD manual saloon has emissions of just 119g/km and improved fuel economy of 62.8 mpg on the combined cycle. A Saab 9-3 dealer in Liverpool has confirmed the growing interest in the diesel 9-3.



The Managing Director of Saab GB, Jonathan Nash said, "The increase in sales has been helped in no small part by the recent launch of our revised 9-3 TTiD range. I think people are genuinely surprised that a small independent company like Saab can produce the most powerful sub 120gkm on sale today, seemingly from nowhere."
