Saab to fall under the 120g/km CO2 level, "optimised gearing is fitted without affecting acceleration or top speed". Other measures include revised gear ratios, low-rolling resistance tyres, improved aerodynamics and reduced weight.
The all-turbo petrol line-up, which sees an average reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of 7%, also benefits from some of these measures.
