Saab 95

With sleek head-turning lines and performance that will put a smile on anyone’s face, the Saab 9-5 has to be your next touring car.  Saab design and build fighter jet-planes and smaller commercial aircraft, so the engineering that is placed inside one of these vehicles is off the top shelf. Saab has placed inside the new 9-5 a tasteful blend of style and performance that simply is not seen in many vehicles today.

 

 

 Saab’s 9-5 comes with four engines and two body styles. The Saab 9-5 Linear 1.9 TD sedans and wagons boast a very willing and efficient four-cylinder 1.9 litre diesel engine. This 110 kW engine has 320 Nm of twist to play with while returning a very commendable average fuel economy figure of just 7.5 Litres/100 km. Saab is leading the way with a Bio Power engine that uses E85 bioethanol, a renewable and sustainable fuel. In this guise, it is possible for drivers to enjoy the benefits of Saab power and performance while having a greater regard for the environment. The result of Bio Powered Saabs is the significantly reduced emissions of CO2, the ‘greenhouse’ gas that is widely believed to contribute to global warming, by up to 70 per cent. This is something not to be read over lightly. Well done, Saab! Performance is lusty, and the 2.3 litre Turbo engine thumps out an impressive 154 kW of power and 280 Nm of torque.  A low-pressure-turbo 2.3 litre petrol motor is found in the Linear wagon.  It is rated at 136 kW. Slip inside the Saab 9-5 Aero models and be prepared to fly.  The sleek model glides along effortlessly, and when the need arises for the throttle to be opened right up, the sensation of acceleration is exhilarating.  The 191 kW output is incredible grunty, particularly when pulling out to pass slower traffic. All the models are front-wheel-drive, and the power is applied via exceptionally smooth five speed automatic transmissions.

 

 

As with all Saab vehicles, you have the added protection and security of a traction control system, an electronic stability programme, anti-lock brakes, a sport tuned chassis and a full complement of driver and passenger airbags - including front, side and torso coverage.  The front seats have an automatic weight-sensing module that adjusts the safety functions according to the weight of the person. Saab isn’t a five star safety leader for nothing!  A theft deterrent system and engine immobiliser keeps the thieves at bay.  Delayed headlamps provide light on those dark nights when you need to find the keys to your home.

The interior of the Saab 95 is an extremely well laid-out, well built space to be. You have a choice of 4 different types of leather seats, with the option of power, memory and heating if you so desire. The leather seats are as sexy as only leather can be. The steering wheel is leather bound, and the chrome and wood trim all take shape together to provide a very tasteful and pleasing 9-5 cabin.  There are a variety of standard and optional features like a power moon-roof, dual zone climate control (with cabin air filter), tilt/telescoping steering column, Saab information display, cruise control, rain sensing wipers, lots of cup holders and even a cooling glove box!  

 

 

Treat yourself to a sexy Swede today.  The 9-5 will not disappoint, it is a superbly complete package. Roomy, oh-so swift and safe.
