2008 Saab 9-3 Aero XWD Review
XWD (short for Cross-Wheel-Drive, Saab's version of all-wheel-drive) is in my view the most significant technological advancement adopted by Saab in years. This sophisticated all-wheel-drive system is now available on the 9-3 sedan and Combi. The XWD option package added $2,340.00 to this week's tester however it also included a bump in horsepower, self-leveling rear shock absorbers and 17" x 7" alloy wheels shod in P225/50R17 all-season tires.
