New York, N.Y. – Following its world premiere at the Geneva auto show earlier this month, the award-winning Saab 9-X BioHybrid premium compact concept is scheduled to make its American debut at the New York International Auto Show media days, starting on March 19.

The editors of AutoWeek, one of North America’s most respected and longest standing automotive enthusiast magazines, voted the Saab 9-X BioHybrid “Best Concept” of the Geneva show.
