Taken from the history of Production: 1985-1991: The 9000 Saab made his debut in the UK with 2-liter turbo charged 5-door hatch back form at the end of 1985. With efforts to adopt transverse engine layout, engineers managed to offer better accommodation in the car a little shorter than the old 900. Indeed, the internal dimensions meet U.S. EPA criteria for the 'Big car' - the only other imported cars fall into this category is the Rolls Royce.
Normally aspirated cars first appeared in the first quarter of 1986. All of the cars earlier this hatchback has a 'flat front "styling and is supported by a variant of the twin overhead cam 16-valve 1985cc engine B202. Saab engine designation logical enough: 20 refers to the capacity section (2-liter) while the last number (2) refers to the number of attendants shaft - in this case a pair of camshafts.
Equipment level par for the class with a range of 9000: plush velours trim is standard, while leather seat facings are a popular choice extra cost. Standard alloy wheels with a turbo charged cars and electric door mirrors adjusted (heated electric mirror lens) is suitable for normally aspirated car as well.
Not all electric car with the windows sent to all four doors - the author has seen some early cars with the windows manually operated all round. When all the doors have power windows option, a switch is provided to deactivate the rear window lifts - this can prove beneficial when transporting want to know the kids! While manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi vacuum actuation support, SAAB used electrically operated locking the main door to the range of 9000. This system will also secure the fuel filler door when the doors locked. A pictogram on the instrument panel provides a visual warning when the door or the tailgate is not properly closed.
Improvements were introduced during 1987 comprised the provision of seat heaters and more significant, ABS brakes (as an extra cost option), while the 4-speed ZF automatic gearbox was offered for the first time.
