Saab has confirmed its commitment to introduce a hybrid vehicle with the unveiling today of the striking 2011 Saab PhoeniX concept car at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The new concept is a preview of Saab’s future production models, both in terms of styling and technology.
It’s built around a new architecture that will underpin the next Saab 9-3 model and supports an innovative hybrid drivetrain known as a ‘through-the-road hybrid’. Such a design pairs an electric motor with a conventional internal combustion engine. However, where most hybrid designs locate both powerplants on a common driveshaft, the through-the-road hybrid places the electric motor on one axle–usually the rear–and the internal combustion engine on the other.
Peugeot is one of the leaders in this field and is set to launch the technology, branded HYbrid4, in its 3008 diesel-electric hybrid later this year.  
As for the Saab PhoeniX, the concept features a 200 horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo powering the front axle and a 34 horsepower electric motor manning the rear. The result is an intelligent, hybrid all-wheel drive capability, which Saab is calling eXWD.
The automaker claims the system is good for a fuel economy of 56.5 mpg on the European combined cycle and CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km. Saab also promises that the technology is currently under development for its next-generation of cars.
