To know why the SportWagon is stable during challenging road
conditions, read our 2008 2009 Saab 95 SportWagon performance review
for the critical specs. Even with a full load out on the road,
the Saab 9-5 SportWagon is powerful and well-balanced. The
2008 2009 Saab 95 SportWagon offers three trim levels:
What's more, an optional Touring package is available on
all models that include bi-xenon headlights, rear parking
assist, auto-dimming exterior mirrors and rain-sensing wipers.
Perhaps most importantly, no matter which 9-5 SportWagon model
you choose, a parcel shelf separates the quiet, comfortable
interior from the luggage compartment. We are especially pleased
to present this 2008 2009 Saab 9-5 Wagon review for your information
and assistance. Look around and enjoy!
The Saab 9-5 Linear is powered by a 185-horsepower turbocharged
four-cylinder that comes standard with a five-speed manual
transmission or a five-speed automatic. The Arc gets its power
from a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, rated at 200 horsepower
with the five-speed automatic as standard. Aero models get
a high-output version of the Linear's four-cylinder motor
that produces 250 horsepower. Like the Linear, the Aero comes
standard with a five-speed manual while a five-speed automatic
is optional. Another feature you'll find in almost every 9-5
SportWagon review: shift buttons on the steering wheel for
manual control of the five speed automatic are new this year.
These features are only the beginning. Inside and out, the
Saab 9-5 SportWagon is chock-full of features including:
- AM/FM/CD radio
- Climate control
- Split-folding rear seat
- CargoTracks (TM) in luggage compartment floor
- Heated and ventilated seats
- 16 cubit feet of trunk space
Other Saab 9-5 SportWagon accessories that are mentioned
in every Saab 9-5 review include: spoilers, face guards, and
more.

9-5 models include adaptive force front airbags, active head
restraints and head-torso side airbags. Additional features
include:
