Powertrain Options and Availability
In 1990, both the base 900 and uplevel 900S are powered by a standard 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. The engine provides 128 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 128 pound-feet at 3000 rpm. It comes paired with either a 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission. For 1991, Saab enlarges the 900's naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter engine is replaced with a 2.1-liter twin-cam unit, with horsepower increasing by 12, to 140 at 6000 rpm. Torque is up by 5 pound-feet, to 133 pound-feet at 2900 rpm. Next are the two turbocharged versions of the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. The first powers three Turbo models and provides 160 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 188 pound-feet of torque at 3000 rpm. The top-end Turbo SPG 3-door, dropped for the '92 model year, features the same engine, but a separate turbocharger. It delivers 175 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 195 pound-feet of torque at 3000 rpm.
