This is the second attempt for Saab to enter the U.S automarket as for the first time expectations fell short, in a large part because the 9-7X was similar to GM models like Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy.

The crossover was engineered by GM based on the same platform with the Cadillac SRX. The American auto giant has started the production of 9-4X in February at its Mexico based facility. But giving the fact that Saab had problems with the suppliers pending payments, it was forced to postpone the output at its plant in Trollhattan, Sweden. However, Saab managed to acquire new funding from various sources, including Chinese automakers, and expects to resume routine early August in Sweden.
