About the 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122

The 2009 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,340 kg with 121 bhp, which works out at 90 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.12 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,990th quickest to 60 mph, and the 73rd quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 80.2 mph, the 9,925th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 0-60 time?

The Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 reaches 60 mph in 10.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,990th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 quarter mile time?

17.87 s at 80.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.12 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 have?

121 bhp and 1,340 kg, which is 90 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122?

Closest here on pace: Chevrolet Cobalt 1.4 ECONO.FLEX 97 (10.46 s), Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 (10.46 s), Skoda Superb 1.9 TDI 130 (10.60 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan 1.8i 122 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
