- Saab 90 is also the name of an aeroplane, the Saab 90 Scandia. Only 18 of them were made. It could take 24-32 passengers. The first flight was on November 16 1946.
The 90 is an automobile from Saab made between 1984 and 1987.
The 90 was a continuation of the Saab 99 and it was basically a Saab 99 from the B-pillar forward with a Saab 900 rear. That made the trunk and gas tank larger than in the 99 while keeping the car smaller than the 900. It was only available as a two door sedan and came with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine giving 100 hp (74 kW). It was available with both a four and a five-speed manual transmission. The valve seats were hardened so it could run on unleaded fuel. It also had a new starter engine.
In 1986 it underwent some minor cosmetic changes and was fitted with modified shock absorbers. In 1987 the carburetor was altered to make it easier to start in cold weather. 1987 was also the final year of the model. In total 25,378 Saab 90s were made. It was sold in the European market only.
In Finland, a limited edition model called the Saab 90 Lumikko was made. They were all white and had extra trim.
