2010 Saab 9-5 Official Release
It looks like 2010 will be a very good year at Saab – as the new 9-5 sedan has finally been released. Well, at least the official images have been made public. 2010’s Saab 9-5 will be on sale across the pond in Spring of that year, and hopefully on North American soil around the same time. Saab based the vehicle on GM’s Epsilon II platform – and rides on a 111″ wheelbase, which offers plenty of passenger space.
Saab’s 9-5 will include three engine options (in Europe) – a turbocharged a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 160 hp, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 210 hp, and a 2.8-liter V6 with 300 hp. There will also be a diesel motor overseas, they love the D over there. How about a gas-electric hybrid or biofuel model in its future? Possibly – stay tuned.
Inside and out, 2010’s Saab features new, almost BMW/Mercedes inspired designs. The rear slopes down on a more opened angle than previous Saab cars, and the instrument panel lights up and jumps at you like a holographic screen. Harman Kardon audio system, keyless entry, and 8-inch Panasonic navigation system are also standard. Get ready to pay €35,000 UK for the car once it appears on dealer lots – no word yet on USA pricing.
