At 4,460 mm (175.6 inches) long and a wheelbase of 2,525 mm (99.4 inches), the 9-2X is definitely a compact model. The benefit of the smaller dimensions and resultant lighter weight is lower than luxury car average fuel consumption. The 9-2X Linear can be expected to achieve a range of about 7.3 to 8.8 L/100 km. The new model will go on sale across the country on Canada Day, July 1, 2004.
