Stand by for another debut at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show – this time in the form of a new Saab 9-5 saloon car.
The vehicle features an all-turbo powertrain line-up – the most extensive ever offered by Saab – and sees the development of efficient four-cylinder turbo engines. In fact, there is a choice of three fuels – petrol, diesel and E85 bioethanol, with the four-cylinder, 2.0litre diesel with six speed transmission offering CO2 emissions of just 139g/km with fuel consumption at 44.4mpg.
There’s still plenty of power packed into this model, however. The 9-5 offers a 2.0 litre petrol turbo engine that develops 220hp and a top of the line 2.8 V6 turbo that generates 300hp. Shortly after launch, a 1.6 litre petrol turbo with 180hp will be introduced along with a 2.0litre E85 engine.
The Saab XWD, all-wheel drive system, will be offered at launch and among the features available throughout the range will be adaptive cruise control, adaptive chassis control and Bi-Xenon Smart Beam adaptive headlights.
We will bring you more information on the new 9-5 when the vehicle is released at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
