 The 2012 range introduced the recently announced SportWagon and a series of enhancements and reduced CO2 emissions for all types of engines. The much awaited SportWagon adds five-door versatility to the acclaimed attributes of the 9-5 Saloon, providing a distinctive, alternative choice for premium wagon customers. It is expected to become a major player in a vehicle segment where Saab, with its tradition for designing sporty but practical vehicles, has previously enjoyed sales volumes even higher than saloon levels. Both the 9-5 Saloon and the SportWagon benefit from more efficient diesel and petrol engines, all of which deliver reduced CO2 emissions and improved fuel consumption. Refinements include a host of fine-tuning measures and the introduction of Start/Stop functionality. CO2 emissions are reduced on average across the range by 4.7% percent.

 SAAB released the Griffin range, featuring an refreshed exterior and interior styling and of coursem new fuel efficient engine range. The Griffin range replace the SAAB Sport Sedan, SportCombi, Convertible and 9-3X and is distinguished by the new front bumpers, SAAB's "ice block" headlamps and Griffin badge on the front. Two versions of the Griffin are available : the standard and the "Aero". Talking about new engines, a 2.0 L will be present under the hood, delivering 163 horse power and 220 horse power. Both engines include direct injection, twin scroll turbocharging and variable valve timing. The CO2 emissions are reduced by 4% on average. At the exterior, the SAAB 9-3 Griffin borrows the "ice block" headlamps effect found in the SAAB 9-5 sedan. Inspired by the Aero X concept, the units have a distinctive blue/green hue in daylight. The grille also features a more prominent, wing-shaped central bar carrying the SAAB wordmark, again like the 9-5 sedan.
