saab electric car

Short version: there isn’t a new Saab electric car you can actually buy in Australia.

Saab went bust in 2011; later, NEVS built the 9-3 EV in small numbers in China, but it never landed here as a regular retail model.

If you spot “Saab electric,” it’s usually a one-off conversion or a headline from yesteryear doing laps.

If you want the Swedish EV flavour, look at Volvo or Polestar; if you want a Saab, you’re shopping used petrol/diesel and indulging in nostalgia.

Keep an eye on classifieds like Tradingpost for tidy old Saabs—and bring patience, because parts-hunting is half the hobby.
