    Saab 9-4X 2011

    The Saab 9-4X is a compact luxury crossover SUV introduced by Swedish automaker Saab Automobile at the LA Auto Show 2010. It is based on the all-wheel drive GM Theta Premium platform which also forms the basis for the Cadillac SRX. The 9-4X began production in 2011 and was built at Ramos Arizpe, Mexico but stopped before the end of the year due to the bankruptcy of Saab.

    The focus of the 9-4X took shape once the Saab 9-6X project was cancelled, after the divestment by General Motors of its holding in Subaru. The 9-4X replaces the larger U.S. built Saab 9-7X SUV, production of which ceased in December 2008. The 9-4X concept made its debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. The car was released at the 2010 LA Auto Show as a 2011 model year vehicle. The production car is almost identical to the 2008 concept on the exterior and similar to the second generation Saab 9-5 on the inside. The car began selling as a 2011 model year vehicle in June in the US and in August elsewhere. The 9-4X was the first and only Mexican built Saab.

    Production
    General Motors manufactured the 9-4X and the closely related Cadillac SRX at the Ramos Arizpe, Mexico assembly plant. In November 2011 General Motors announced that production of the 9-4X would end because General Motors was unwilling to provide a modern chassis and engine to a Chinese buyer that was a potential competitor to General Motors in China. 457 units were assembled during the 9-4X's brief 2011 production run.
