HISTORY历史
A choice of three body styles was the limit to the range; three-door hatch (usually known as a Coupe), five-door hatch and convertible.三是选择体风格的范围限定;三舱口大门(通常称为采伐)五、兑换舱口大门. Only the five-door was available at the October 1993 launch.只有五门于1993年10月发射. Engines were either 2.0 or 2.3-litre four cylinders (and a 2.0-litre turbo version) or the Vauxhall-made 2.5-litre V6.引擎要么2.0或2.3公升4缸(一2.0公升涡轮版本)或狂暴国产2.5升V6导. The turbo four was powerful (more so than the V6) and smooth, due to Saab's special engine balance shafts.四是强大的涡轮(V6导得多了),顺利,由于绅宝的特殊发动机平衡槽.
The three-door arrived in February 1994, followed by the convertible in September.三大门1994年2月抵达,随后在九月的兑换. There was a small upgrade for base model cars in February 1995 when colour-coded bumpers were added.有一小提升为示范基地1995年2月,当车颜色保险杠加.
The range stayed much the same since launch - trim levels were base, S or SE.射程远下榻同一自射修剪水平基数,收盘或硒. A further variant called Sensonic S became available in May 1995.再变成了供称在1995年5sensonic收盘. No longer in production, it differed from the standard car by having a manual transmission without a clutch pedal ?不再生产,它不同于标准的车有离合器踏板无人工传送? you simply changed gear as normal and a computer operated the clutch for you.你干脆改为齿轮和正常的电脑操作离合器你. One to keep an eye out for, it was also available in the convertible model.一换证,它也可用在可兑换的模式.
To boost sales, a better-equipped version of the lower-order 900 2.0 five-door was introduced in 1996 ?促销,装备更完善的版本较低阶9002.05门在1996年实施? the 900 2.0i XS ?9002.0iDmin下? while a 2.3i XS five-door model was added in 1997.而2.3iDmin下五门型号续97.

Saab celebrated the 900?s successful attack on the world endurance record with a new trim level called Talladega.绅宝庆祝900?成功的攻击提供了一个新的世界纪录耐力称为talladega浪级.

Cars so named gained a host of luxury equipment and special badging.车得名,并积累了大量的豪华设备特殊身份卡.

These cars are built for freezing Swedish winters and North American summers ?这些车都是冻结修建瑞典和北美冬天萨默斯? Saab's two big markets.绅宝的两个大市场.

Equipment is good on all models; standard spec consists of ABS, electrically heated and powered mirrors, electric windows and driver's airbag.所有型号的设备是好的;ABS的标准分为光谱、电热、动力镜电动窗、驾驶员安全气囊. The SEs add air conditioning, alloy wheels and cruise control.午餐增添了空调,合金车轮和巡航控制.
