The British market range of the 2012 Saab will be substantially improved with the arrival of the new SportWagon and a series of enhancements, including further reduced CO2 emissions for all engines. New chassis improvements have been made to provide a more pleasurable experience specifically for the ever-loyal British fans of this brand.
Both the 9-5 Saloon and the SportWagon benefit from more efficient diesel and petrol engines, with refinement coming from a host of fine-tuning measures and the introduction of Start/Stop functionality. In addition, 4.7 percent less harmful carbon dioxide will be coming out the back.
Inside, the spacious cabin is given a new look with the addition of metallic-like trim finishes for both Vector SE and Aero variants. Satellite navigation and digital radio (DAB) also become standard on all models.
“The latest 9-5 range offers customer benefits across the board, with lower emissions, improved fuel consumption, enhanced cabin features and even better driving dynamics,” says Saab Great Britain Managing Director Charles Toosey. “The New 9-5 SportWagon is also a stunning addition to the range which substantially broadens the appeal of our product offer. It builds on Saab’s strong brand tradition for versatility, and will provide a compelling choice for customers who value distinctive design, premium quality and great flexibility.”
Starting today, the order books for the whole 9-5 range is open and deliveries of the RHD models will start in Autumn 2011. Engine choices include two diesel and three petrol engines, provides a power bandwith from 160 hp to 300 hp.
