10-16-2009 All New Saab 9-5 Sedan Showcasing 'stand out' Scandinavian design backed by an array of high-tech functions, Saab's distinctive new flagship brings a fresh, alternative choice to the premium sedan segment. The clean, 'organic sculpture' of the bodywork, with elements inspired by Saab's award-winning Aero X concept, heralds the introduction of a bold, more expressive design language for the brand. The spacious, driver-focused cabin features a new iteration of Saab's signature cockpit layout. Advanced technologies include: an aircraft-like head-up information display (Pilot HUD); adaptive lighting (Bi-Xenon Smart Beam); adaptive cruise control; Saab DriveSense adaptive chassis with real-time damping control; keyless entry and starting; tri-zone air conditioning; dynamic parking assistance and Saab XWD with a rear eLSD, the industry-leading all-wheel-drive system. The all-turbo powertrain line-up carries forward Saab's rightsizing engine strategy, which focuses on responsible performance through the development of small, highly efficient turbocharged engines. |
