The SAAB 9-5 is a mid-size executive car that was produced by the Swedish automaker SAAB from 1997 to 2011. It was the successor to the SAAB 9000, and was known for its distinctive Scandinavian design, strong performance, and distinctive handling characteristics. The 9-5 was offered in a variety of body styles, including a sedan, station wagon (known as the "SportCombi"), and a convertible introduced in 2003. It was powered by a range of turbocharged four- and six-cylinder petrol engines, as well as a 2.2-liter diesel engine. The 9-5 was also notable for its advanced safety features, including standard dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. The SAAB 9-5 was praised for its comfortable and spacious interior, as well as its driving experience. The car's handling was particularly lauded, with reviewers noting its agility and responsiveness. The 9-5 was also praised for its distinctive styling, which combined elements of practicality and sportiness. However, the 9-5 also faced some criticism, particularly for its lack of reliability and its relatively high price compared to its competitors. Despite these shortcomings, the SAAB 9-5 was a popular and successful model, selling over 400,000 units worldwide. It was the last SAAB model to be developed before the company's financial difficulties, and its legacy continues to be celebrated by Saab enthusiasts today.
