The 15 Most Beautiful Saab Models Ever – Iconic Beauty from Sweden

Saab may no longer be a player in the modern automotive scene, but the brand has left an indelible mark on automotive history with its unique design, aerodynamic lines, and Scandinavian distinctiveness. From airplane-inspired cockpits to futuristic concepts and cult classics, here are the 15 most beautiful Saab models ever, ranked from charming to downright iconic.

#14: Saab 600

Originally a rebranded Lancia Delta, yet still a part of the Saab family. Its angular 80s design and compact dimensions give it a retro look that evokes nostalgic feelings among many car enthusiasts today.

#13: Saab 9000 Aero

With its more square profile and precise lines, the 9000 Aero was an elegant sedan with sporty ambitions. The wide rims and turbo engine disguise the fact that it is also one of the best handling Saabs ever.

#12: Saab 93 (1949)

This was the first car Saab built from scratch as a car manufacturer. With aircraft-inspired design, smooth bodywork, and the iconic front, the 93 model is a milestone in both Saab and automotive history.

#11: Saab Sonett II

The Sonett II was Saab’s first attempt at a sports car. Its compact and curvy 60s design gives it a unique look with distinct charm, especially with its open front and low profile.

#10: Saab 90

A fusion of 99 and 900, and perhaps a somewhat overlooked model. Its simple, aerodynamic lines and period design make it a worthy contender on the list of beautiful Saabs.

#9: Saab 99 Turbo

One of the first mass-produced turbocharged cars in the world – with a design that balances brute force and elegance. The characteristic front and sporty spoiler give it a distinct expression.

#8: Saab 9-7X

Saab’s attempt at a luxury SUV may not have been groundbreaking, but design-wise it has something robust and modern about it. With the Saab front and sleek lines, it stands out among SUVs.

#7: Saab 9-3 Viggen

The Viggen version of the 9-3 was both beautiful and brutal. With its wider fenders, lower front, and iconic colors like Lightning Blue, it quickly became a cult car among Saab fans.

#6: Saab 900 Cabriolet

One of the most beloved Saabs ever. The classic 900 in a convertible version with its characteristic “shark nose” and clean lines still stands today as one of the most iconic open cars from the 80s and 90s.

#5: Saab 9-5 Aero (first generation)

With its elegant proportions, distinct lights, and pure Saab DNA, the first generation of 9-5 Aero is both timeless and harmonious. A perfect balance between business car and performance vehicle.

#4: Saab 9-3 SportCombi (2006)

The station wagon that proved practicality and beauty can go hand in hand. The sharp rear, long silhouette, and detailed lights made the 9-3 SportCombi one of the most elegant in its segment.

#3: Saab 9-X BioHybrid

This concept car from 2008 showed what Saab could have become. With its sleek, futuristic look, LED lights, and minimalist lines, it appeared almost like a Scandinavian Audi TT – but with more soul.

#2: Saab Sonett III

The most refined of the three Sonett generations. Sonett III was low, wide, and almost Italian in its expression – yet still with Saab DNA. A beautiful example of how Swedish design can flirt with sport and passion.

#1: Saab 900 Turbo (Classic)

The undisputed king of beautiful Saab models. With its long front, iconic C-pillar, and aircraft cockpit-like interior, the classic 900 Turbo is not just a car – it is an aesthetic statement that still catches the eye today. A timeless legend.
