Swedish car manufacturer Saab has announced the launch of a new Special

The new model, called the 9-5 Turbo Edition, features a number of added extras
as standard combined with an even more attractive list price, making it an
outstanding proposition to prospective customers. It makes use of Saab's fuel
efficient turbocharged engine range, giving drivers the benefits of a larger

the top-of-the range 9-5 Aero Turbo Edition.
The 9-5 Turbo Edition is
offered with a choice of three engines – the entry-level 2.0t, the high power
2.3t and the economical 1.9 TiD diesel. New standard features include 17 inch,
five spoke alloy wheels, leather sport seats heated both front and rear,
electric driver’s seat, and headlight washers. Available in both Saloon and
Estate bodystyles, and with manual or automatic transmission, prices for the 9-5
Turbo Edition start at just £19,995.
For those drivers who are looking
for a high performance vehicle, the 9-5 Aero Turbo Edition is the answer.
Offered with the 2.3T (260PS) engine - which goes from 0-60mph in just 6.5
seconds in the Saloon variant with a top speed of 155mph - the Aero model
features DVD Satellite Navigation and dual electric seats, as well as the
traditional Aero features including performance brakes, Bi-xenon headlights,
metallic paint and sport chassis. Also available in both Saloon and Estate
bodystyles, and with manual or automatic transmission, prices start from just
£24,995.
All models continue to offer the standard features that already
make the 9-5 a comfortable and reliable drive, including sport seats, Automatic
Climate Control, Driving Pack (cruise control and car computer), electric
windows, Night Panel function, CD player, anti theft alarm and immobiliser, rear
parking assistance and many more.
The new 9-5 Turbo Editions also retain
all the safety features of the Saab 9-5 including a five-star EuroNCAP safety
rating, Saab Active Head Restraints (SAHR), dual-stage front and side airbags,
Electronic Stability Programme and reinforced doors.
David Pugh,
Marketing General Manager for Saab said: “The Saab 9-5 has long been a car
synonymous with comfort, safety and performance. This experience and reputation
combined with these exciting new features makes this car an attractive
proposition for premium car buyers.”
