Saab's Plans for a Hybrid Car
 

At the 2007 Geneva Auto Show, Saab revealed that plan on offering their first hybrid. The car will use the hybrid system being jointly developed by General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, and BMW. It is a "two mode" system, which is intended to offer good combinations of power and economy at both low speed and highway speeds. Saab is owned by GM.

GM is currently working on a Saturn VUE which will use the two mode hybrid system. It is a more sophisticated system than in the 2007 VUE hybrid. Saab Managing Director Jan Ake Jonsson  said "we're very much into that project, and we have in our future plans hybrids which are based on the concepts that are being developed."
