Eco-Friendly Saab 9-3 Diesel Models at Hendrick Cadillac Saab, Cary, NC
Cary, NC, August 13, 2010 - Hendrick Cadillac Saab , a leading Saab car dealership in Cary near Raleigh, North Carolina, is pleased to announce that Saab's most popular 9-3 diesel models are now offering reduced CO2 emissions and improved fuel consumption.
Linear and Vector specification Sport Sedans, powered by the 150 hp, single turbo or the 180 hp, two-stage turbo 1.9-liter engine, now produce just 139 gm/km CO2 and impressive fuel consumption of 5.3l/100 km over the combined cycle. The SportCombi's figures are also improved to 144 gm/km and 5.5 l/100 km. The two-stage turbo models (Badged 1.9TTiD) are now among the top performers in their class in terms of CO2 grams per horsepower.
The efficiency gains, now averaging 7 percent, have been achieved by a series of fine-tuning measures including the use of wider gear ratios, a long final drive, idle and low engine speed remapping, and an optimized tire and wheel choice. However, the zero to 100 km/h acceleration remains unchanged, while fifth gear 80-120 km/h times are increased by less than one second. The new variants come only with manual transmission.
