The Saab 900 was a mid-sized sedan produced by Saab from 1989-2001 in two generations; the 1989-1993 Saab 900 and the 1994-2001 Saab 900NG. The first generation was based on the Saab 800 chassis, though with a longer front to both meet new Ministry of Transportation crash safety regulations and fit the new 1,814cc HI4 engine, delivering 102hp for 9.1L/100km (25.84mpg).
