The Saab 9-3 is still a handsome car, even after all these years, BAIC are planning to improve on its looks and also give it a pure electric drive chain. In addition to the above C60EV, BAIC also have plans for the C71EV which is a Chrysler Sebring based vehicle and also the C30EV, of which the standard gasoline version has already been seen on China Car Times many times.

A lot will depend on how efficient BAIC’s in-house supply chain will be in providing parts for the pure electric drivetrain…..
The C71EV is based on the Saab og9-5 (1997-2009)…
