Do Saab still make cars?
Many people still think Saab makes cars, even though the business was bought out by General Motors in 2000 & Saab Automobile went defunct back in 2011.
www.saab.comHere’s the latest I can verify right now.
Saab Automobile’s status has been historically complex due to ownership changes and financial challenges. In recent public-facing sources, Saab continues to exist as a brand under the Saab entity but has largely shifted focus away from producing traditional passenger cars and toward defense and security sectors, as reflected on Saab’s corporate site and newsroom updates. However, developments specific to an active car manufacturing operation or new car models have been sparse in mainstream news in 2025–2026. For the most current, exact wording from Saab’s own communications, see Saab’s newsroom and press releases.[7][8]
