Saab has been teasing us with teasers of the 9-1X Concept for some time now. But until now we had no other details on the car besides that it will fall into the Mini Cooper, BMW 1-Series, Audi A3 and the Volvo C30 segment.

According to a post made on WorldCarFan’s Finnish language site (that’s Finland for those of you that didn’t know), the concept will be powered by a 1.4 liter 200 horsepower BioPower engine mated with hybrid technology. Styling is heavily influenced by the 9X concept but with improved aerodynamics for better fuel-efficiency. You can also expect to see design cues from the AeroX concept.

Saab is hoping to appeal to the youth crowd with the 9-1X’s efficient performance and high-tech features such as an innovative interior with seamless connectivity for your iPod and other mp3 players. We’ll get more details during Geneva next week.

    Loving what we’ve been able to hear so far. The 2003 9X concept was amazing in itself (and still on Saab’s website). Who knew Saab would bring it to the compact class?! ;)
