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 will replace 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 Saab 9-4x crossover has entered production at General Motors’ Ramos Arizpe, Mexico plant. Per the report, 147 examples of the 9-4x were produced, 49 of which occurred the week of January 23, 2010.
