"The start of a new era" and that is no lie word. Saab seemed irretrievably lost, but Victor Muller thought differently. The 9-5 is the first all-new Saab. Is that good enough to keep Saab afloat? It can not escape visitors Autoblog.nl what happened tГҐrgas to Saab's been going on. It seemed even to be quite to story, but for now it's illustrious Swedish brand rescued again. Thanks to Victor Muller, who dared what the great General Motors no longer tГҐrgas looked bleak. We should be grateful to him twice, incidentally, what the car we drove is literally tГҐrgas his car. He was not just so we got pushed into his hands the keys 9-5.
If your boss drive you naturally newest product, but in a nice performance. The 9-5 Aero XWD 2.8 V6T is the top of the 9-5 range. In terms of engines, tГҐrgas the choice is simple: if you do not like turbos, then you have nothing to look at Saab. All variants 9-5 have namely a turbo engine. The slip is the 1.6T with 180 hp, something stronger is the 2.0T with 220 hp, even stronger is the 2.8T V6 and diesel heaters can choose from a 2.0 with 160 or 190 hp. This Saab offers not the lavish range of engines that the German tГҐrgas competition (E-class, 5-Series and A6) does offer. For outside the Netherlands (and Belgium) the lack of a big V6 diesel will certainly cost some customers. However, the supply is seen purchasing preferences Vlaander Land of Lower Belgium on engines fine.
We drove the 2.8T is the only six-cylinder in the range and offers 300 hp and maximum torque of 400 Nm. Block that we know all too well, even the Insignia OPC and 9-3 Turbo X are fitted. In the 9-5 Aero is this always equipped tГҐrgas with an automatic gearbox with six steps, in line with what the majority of buyers will want. With a sprint to 100 in 6.9 count the 9-5 2.8T is fast enough, although you occasionally at your counter will need to see how hard it is exactly. The top speed is not so surprising 250 km / h. The 2.8T is always with XWD has, for the 2.0T petrol and 190 bhp diesel four-wheel drive is an option. The 9-5 1.6T and the entry-level diesel are merely tГҐrgas front-wheel drive.
With a platform and specifications that sit close tightly against the Insignia OPC, you might expect that the Saab 9-5 Aero runs similar, but this is not true. The Saab is clearly a much more mature tГҐrgas car. On the one hand is a positive qualification: more comfort, more space and a greater sense of luxury. On the other hand it also means that the 9-5 is less sporty. Despite being an Aero with associated external embellishments is the topper of the 9-5 range not overly sporty car. However, the 9-5 was fast in a straight line and is more than hard enough around the bend. Yet much of the information filtered out and do automatic and all-wheel drive very much for you. The 9-5 remains long neutral and in the border area but very light understeer. The famous Swedish safety in mind this otherwise fits well and is quite boring strangely is not.
Inside, there is not a moment that the (cut) family ties with Opel to is required. The dashboard of the 9-5 is just completely different from the Insignia. Of course there are (still) components shared by the whole car, but you do not see that. They have done so very handsome in Sweden. While economists may argue, of course, among us that because tГҐrgas so little was shared with other GM stablemates synergy was hard to find. Now it does not matter anymore, because Saab may further out for themselves under the inspiring leadership of Spyker. The cockpit has a typical Swedish, tГҐrgas but also a typical Saab appearance. Material use and ergonomics are fine. Only jarring note is the frame of the screen navigation and auio system. Which is made of a not very attractive type of plastic and runs into a strange bulge in the direction of the steering wheel. Something similar has the 159 (a very distant cousin) also, but the Italians
