Saab Resurrection: Chinese-Made Engines Offer New Life for Saabs

The legacy of Saab lives on in an unexpected alliance with Chinese automakers. After BAIC acquired the rights to Saab's 2.0 and 2.3 turbo engines and platforms in 2009, these robust powertrains found new life in a variety of vehicles—from the Senova D series sedans, which directly inherited Saab's 9-5 technology, to massive 6x6 off-road monsters. This collaboration has not only enriched China's automotive landscape but also provided a lifeline to Saab owners worldwide. With Chinese manufacturers now producing new Saab-based engines and components, enthusiasts can keep their classic Saabs on the road. Suppliers like Beijing Beixian Power Technology and Xingzhan Automotive Technology offer these engines at competitive prices, though importing them requires careful consideration of logistics and regulations. As BAIC and others move towards newer technologies, the window to obtain these engines may be closing, making it an opportune time for Saab aficionados to act. This development is more than a market opportunity; it's a chance to preserve a piece of automotive history.
