Published on January 16, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
Beijing Auto is working on a new C60 SUV, based on the old Saab 9-3. The SUV will debut as a concept at the Beijing Auto Show in April. Beijing Auto bought the rights for the old Saab 9-5 and 9-3 from General Motors back in 2010. (Saab-fans don’t cry yet, crappy Photoshop is my work).

Beijing Auto developed an EV based on the old Saab 9-3. The EV is code named Q60FB and is part of a trial project for electric cars with the Beijing city government. First batch will be 30 cars only. The Q60FB debuted in January and was seen on a truck in March. New spy shots show the car very clearly but the actual trial project still hasn’t started.

BAW bought the platforms for the old Saab 9-3 and 9-5 from GM before Spyker bought the rest. BAW brought the two Saabs to the show, both with a different from although they didn’t change the 9-3 as much as the 9-5 based C71 we saw earlier. Both cars are ‘made in Sweden’-Saabs because the new BAW-factory won’t be ready in about a year.The C60 has the same 2.0 Turbo as the C71, engine came with the platform.

BAW bought the old 9-3 and 9-5 Saab-platforms from GM before Spyker bought the rest. This is BAW’s take on the good old 9-3. A new and wilder front and no more. This 9-3 is by the way not yet a made in China, the factory ain’t ready yet, so it is a true Swedish 9-3 with a BAW-made front.
