Tax savings of up to £646 per annum*1 for New Saab 9-3 Aero 1.9TTiD drivers!
With its persuasive blend of classic design cues, proven safety features and advanced engine technology, the New Saab 9-3 is very much "the new face of Saab".

These new figures improve the Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) banding with immediate effect, in some cases bringing the vehicle down a full five bands: drivers of the Convertible manual model who are 40% tax payers will see their Benefit-in-Kind taxation reduced by an estimated £646 per annum!*1
