The new Saab 9-5 Sedan and SportEstate range will be revealed at next month's
Frankfurt Motor Show.
Building on the Saab’s core values of progressive design and sporty driver
involvement, the new 9-5 incorporates new styling and improved handling
characteristics.
It features all-new front bodywork, with a bold new 'face' inspired by the
Saab 9X concept car and a fresh interior that includes an updated dash and trim.
Excellent chassis dynamics have been further refined, giving the driver even
closer control with faster, more direct responses for sportier handling
characteristics without compromising ride quality and refinement.
Under the bonnet, the Saab 9-5 is available in a unique range of engine
choices - petrol, diesel and ethanol. The all-turbo line-up includes:
- a new diesel engine available in Europe,
- a Saab BioPower engine that can run on any mixture of ethanol (E85) fuel and
gasoline for the Swedish market, and
- increased power for the top-of-the-range Aero model.
Overall, the muscular visual impact of the new 9-5 Sedan and SportEstate
reflects the enhancements under the bodywork.
The refinements to Saab's flagship are designed to increase its appeal to
customers who value modern, progressive design and a rewarding driving
experience.
The new Saab 9-5 range is targeted for launch in Australia and New Zealand in
the second quarter of next year.
