Saab Car Models List

Saab Automobile AB is an automobile manufacturer from Sweden. It was founded in 1945 when its mother company, SAAB AB, started on creating a small automobile. Currently, Saab Automobile AB is inactive in the markets and production.

The first model that was successfully finished under the Saab brand is the Saab 92 which was launched in 1949. After joining another company named Scania- Vabis, the Saab 900 was created. During that time, the Saab 900 was the best-selling model.

In 1989, the division of Saab-Scania which focuses on automobiles decided to restructure the company, hence Saab Automobile AB was founded. Matter-of-factly, General Motors, a giant in the automobile industry, bought half the company in 2000. They invested $600 Million for this and after some time, GM bought the whole company already.

This made Saab Automobile as a whole subsidiary of GM. Ten years after, GM sold this division to Spyker Cars N.V., a Dutch vehicle manufacturer. Only a year after, Spyker Cars N.V. faced a bankruptcy issue when a Chinese association failed to purchase the whole subsidiary. GM then blocked the purchase to avoid the Chinese company from acquiring Saab Automobile.

In 2012, a new company named National Electric Vehicle Sweden bought Saab Automobile and carried it out of bankruptcy. After a year, Saab Automobile started manufacturing cars again, starting with the Nevs Saab 9-3. Unfortunately, NEVS was declined to continue the manufacturing under the Saab brand, and from then on, no more cars were made for the Saab branding.
