SAAB 9-5: LUXURY AND RESPONSIVE PERFORMANCE IN A MID-SIZE PACKAGE
Saab continues
to fine-tune its 9-5 lineup to give customers more of what they've
come to expect from Saab: performance and value in a luxurious
mid-size package. Enhancements for 2004 include an even more sporting
personality for the Arc models, exterior revisions to the Aero
models and more stand-alone content, making every 9-5 an even
better value for Saab customers.
"We believe
the repositioning of some of our 9-5 content enables us to provide
Saab customers with a better value proposition. Now, our customers
can choose a 9-5 that more ideally suits their specific needs,"
said Saab Automobile President and CEO Peter Augustsson.
Saab 9-5 model
designations, or "forms," will continue to give customers
three distinct vehicle personalities from which to choose: Linear,
Arc and Aero. Each form is matched with unique interior trim,
upholstery, wheel package and powertrain.
Linear
The Linear embodies elegant Swedish design and features the 2.3L,
four-cylinder 185- horsepower (138 kw) light-pressure turbo. Available
exclusively as a SportWagon for 2004, the 9-5 Linear form features
such standard items as an electronic traction control system (TCS),
electronic stability program (ESP), anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and 16-inch light alloy wheels.
Inside, Linear
SportWagon customers are rewarded with leather seating surfaces,
a wood-trimmed instrument panel, electrically adjustable front
seats and automatic climate control with separate temperature
controls for driver and front passenger. Maximizing utility, the
9-5 Linear SportWagon also features a rear seat that can be fully
or partially folded (60/40), a rigid cargo shelf and the CargoTracks
load-securing system.
Arc
For those customers who prefer a sportier ride coupled with additional
comfort features, Saab offers the 9-5 Arc, available in Sedan
or SportWagon body styles. For 2004, it features a more powerful
220-horsepower (164 kw), 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder engine
that is now mated to a five-speed manual transmission or optional
five-speed Sentronic automatic transmission. Further emphasizing
Arc's sportier character are the newly available 17-inch sport
wheels. Adding a degree of safety due to their brighter illumination
are Bi-Xenon headlamps, now available as stand-alone options on
Arc and Aero models.
Heated front
seats are standard on all Arc models, as are the power sliding
glass sunroof with express open, color-matched body skirts, high-pressure
headlamp washers and front and rear fog lights. Ventilated front
seats, previously standard on Arc, are now optional.
Aero
The ultimate 9-5 performance derivative is the Aero. It features
bolstered sport seats, 17-inch wheels, a sport-tuned chassis and
the 2.3L High-Output Turbo (HOT) engine producing 250 horsepower
(187 kw). New for 2004 is a body kit that produces a more aggressive
exterior look for Aero models. In addition to - or in place of
- equipment found on Linear and Arc models, Aero features leather
sport seats with sport steering wheel, a 240-watt, Harman/Kardon-tuned
audio system and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass
and integrated garage door opener. The Saab Aero Academy two-day
driving program is included with every Aero model.
