Saab 9-5 SportWagon 2.0 TTiD 190 Price

Saab 9-5 SportWagon 2.0 TTiD 190 Price : This is a pre-production variant of the Saab 9-5 SportWagon, which will go on sale in September. Examples are being tuned in the UK now; Saab intends to tune chassis of all its future models in Britain in future – something it used to do before GM canned the practice.

We've driven three SportWagons, with three different chassis settings. Spring, damper and roll bar rates are all re-tuned from current saloons, and there are new top mounts for the front suspension.

Should I buy one?
Maybe. We predict there’ll still be a couple of rough edges, especially if you’re looking for a diesel drivetrain that has the same finesse as a BMW or a Mercedes.

But the changes to the chassis have the potential to turn the 9-5 from an also-ran into a competitive – and interesting - car in this sector.
