From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Combi coupé is a marketing term used by Saab to describe cars with a sloping coupé-like rear hatchback.[1][2] The term joins the European term "combi" (for an estate car / station wagon) with coupé.[3]
The design combines the functionality of a hatchback with the appearance of a fastback. As per a hatchback, the combi coupé incorporates a shared passenger and cargo space.
The term was coined by Björn Envall and first introduced with the 1974 Saab 99.[4] Saab also discussed making a hatchback available for the Saab 96/Saab 95 model range and Envall created the prototype Saab 98. The "Combi coupé" term was later applied to the Saab 900 model line-up.[5][6]
Volvo also made a prototype combi coupé.[7]
At the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Saab showed models that indicated that the Saab 9-3 would be available as a combi coupé.[8] It was since then confirmed that the 9-3 would be available as a combi coupé, convertible and crossover.[9]
