Saab 9-5

The Saab 9-5 is an executive car that was produced by the

Swedish automobile maker Saab from 1997 to 2012. Saab 9-5

The first generation 9-5 was introduced in 1997 for the 1998
model year, as the replacement to the Saab 9000. At the time,
the car represented a significant development for the
manufacturer. In the United States, the 9-5 was introduced in
the spring of 1998, for the 1999 model year.

On September 15, 2009, the second generation was presented

Overview
Saab badged the model as the Saab 95 , but consistently advertised it as the Saab 9-5, pronounced "nine five"
rather than "ninety-five". This model should not be confused with the Saab 95, produced from 1959 to 1978.

The first generation 9-5 was available with sedan and station wagon body styles. Aerodynamically, the sedan's
drag coefficient is 0.29, and the station wagon's is 0.31 (U.S. version 0.33). Introduced in 1999, the wagon
features innovations such as floor tracks to secure cargo and a sliding load floor to make loading easier.

The 9-5 was the first production vehicle to offer ventilated seats, as well as asymmetrical turbocharging in the
case of the 3.0L V6 engine.[2]

The last 9-5 sedan of the first generation rolled off the Trollhättan production line at the beginning of July
2009,[3] and the last wagon was assembled on February 1, 2010.[4] Between the summer of 1997, when 9-5
production began, and 2010, 252,236 sedans, and 231,357 wagons were built. The total production 483,593
units, was narrowly beaten by its predecessor, the 9000, of which 503,000 were built.

Production equipment for the first-generation 9-5 was sold by General Motors to BAIC of China in 2009.[5]

First generation (YS3E, 1997–2010)

First generation YS3E
Engines

The first-generation 9-5 is powered by Saab's B205 and B235

straight-4 engines, and from 2002 in Europe by an Opel
Ecotec X22DTH 2.2 diesel engine (Saab D223L), replaced in
2006 by Fiat's 1.9 JTD 16V diesel straight-4. A turbocharged
version of the GM 54° V6 engine, designated by Saab as
B308, has a unique asymmetrical low-pressure turbocharger
Overview
and was available from 1999 to 2003. This engine is available
only with an automatic transmission, and cars with this engine Production 1997–2009 (sedan)
installed are distinguishable by their twin tailpipes. The V6 is 1998–2010 (wagon)[6]
only available on Arc, SE, and Griffin models. In 2004, the V6 Body and chassis
engine was replaced by a high pressure turbo straight-4 engine
producing 220  hp (164  kW). By 2006 this engine was Body style 4-door sedan
producing 260 hp (194 kW) even in the non-Aero or non-sport 5-door station wagon
models (US models). Layout Transverse front-engine,
front-wheel drive
The B2x5 engines can suffer from oil pickup issues caused by
'oil sludge' in the lubrication circuit. In 1999, Saab issued a Platform GM2900 platform
Workshop Bulletin around this issue.[8] The 'sludge' issue Related Senova D Series[7]
primarily affected earlier models between 1999 and 2003, and Opel Vectra
from 2004 a revised engine positive crankcase ventilation Opel Calibra
system (PCV) and the use of fully synthetic oil were Saab 900 (NG)
introduced.

Saab created retrofit kits for the earlier 1999–2003 cars as the Saturn L-Series

extensive side-crash protection.
1,465 mm (57.7 in)
The front seats featured torso airbags and head airbags even on
the earliest models, which few contemporary vehicles did in the late 1990s. The basic structure included a
robust passenger safety cage, front and rear deformation zones, reinforced door posts and pillars, as well as the
"Pendulum B-Pillar", which combined high-strength low-alloy steel at chest and head height with tailored blank
steel at the floorpan, designed to direct the crash forces down toward the floor. The design was proven by the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) to protect occupants in side crashes, even without the addition of
curtain airbags or rear side airbags. From 2002, ESP (electronic stability control) was included as standard.

Another Saab feature, the "Night Panel", permitted dousing of the instrument panel lighting, except for essential
information, for less distraction when driving at night. Once activated, only essential information such as current
speed is displayed except, for example, if the car requires fuel or the engine overheats.

In the United States OnStar was available, and provided as standard equipment in selected 9-5's from 2001
onward.[11]
Comfort

The 9-5 had various comfort features both as standard and cost options over the years.

While early models frequently had dash mounted cassette decks, CD changers were standard features on many
cars and in-dash satellite navigation was also available. Factory-fitted phone kits were similarly optional.

Many models featured leather or part-leather upholstery and both front and rear heated seats were also available.
A few models were shipped with the optional ventilated seats.

Cruise control was available on various models and xenon headlamps were fitted as standard on high-end
variants.

Aero

The performance 9-5 Aero, the earliest versions of which were sometimes referred to as the HOT Aero, was
first released in 2000 with a 2.3T B235R engine. The B235R engine of the 9-5 Aero was capable of providing
immense torque and, in terms of acceleration, outperformed the contemporary Porsche 911 Turbo from 40 to
90 mph.

Initially badged as a 230 PS (169 kW; 227 hp) engine, Saab later conceded that the 230 PS power figure was
quite conservative, with the manual versions rated 250  PS and having more torque than stated. This flagship
model had a long list of standard features, a sport tuned suspension, and body side moldings. In 2002 a 250 PS
(184  kW; 247  hp) 2.3 turbo engine was made standard, which allowed for more torque after 4500 rpm. All
Aero models from 2002 to 2005 have an identical engine layout and management system, with the 2002-05
models just having a slightly remapped version of that ECU from factory. The high-powered version of the 9–5
in the final form produces 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp) and 350 N⋅m (258 lbf⋅ft) of torque (370 N⋅m (273 lbf⋅ft)
with its 20-second overboost function accessible on the manual transmission equipped version.

From model year 2006 to end of production, the 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp) B235R was the standard engine in
the 9–5 in both the 2.3T and Aero trims. 2006 had only one badge designation, the 2.3T and appointments
normally found on the Aero could be added via a "Sport Package".

From 2007 onwards, SAAB added an Aero badge to the trunk lid to distinguish from regular 2.3T models. In
addition, almost all standard features on the Aero were standard on the 2.3T, the exceptions being sport-tuned
chassis, two-tone leather upholstery, "Anniversary" wheels and brushed aluminum interior trim, all of which
were standard on Aero and not available on the 2.3T.

Police car

The 9-5 was used as a liveried patrol vehicle, as well as undercover, in

several parts of its native Sweden, alongside the Volvo V70. Several
police forces in the UK also used the 9–5 in their fleets, mostly in Aero
specification. The city of Aspen, Colorado, used Saabs as patrol cars
from early 1970s until 2005, when they discontinued the 9–5 in favor of
the Volvo XC90.[12] The town of Vail, Colorado likewise used Saabs
from 1980 onwards, but in 2005, the black 9-5 patrol cars were
replaced by Ford Explorers, due to budget reasons.[13] Saab 9–5 with the Swedish Police

In 2006, Lothian and Borders Police in Edinburgh, Scotland, began

operating three Saab 9-5 Aero 2.3T patrol cars as part of a fleet of 580 vehicles. These 9-5s were customised to
police specifications by the Saab, Vauxhall and Chevrolet Special Vehicles Operation (SVO) in Papworth,
Cambridgeshire.[14] In undercover guise, these cars were outwardly identical to the Linear Sport models, but
featured the 260 bhp Aero drivetrain.

In Poland, an unmarked 9-5 is used as a video-pursuit vehicle, in the Płock area.[15]

In Australia the base trim (Linear) was not part of the line up, only the Vector and Aero trims were available.[30]

Engines

In North America, the engine choices were either a turbocharged V6 or an Ecotec I4. Other countries also had
an optional turbodiesel I4 engine. Engine performance upgrades that were available from Hirsch Performance
(Saab's only factory approved tuner) increased the power of the V6 engine to 330 bhp (246 kW; 335 PS) from
296 bhp (221 kW; 300 PS) and the I4 engine to 260 bhp (194 kW; 264 PS) from 220 bhp (164 kW; 223 PS).

Reviews
Auto Express [32]

For: spacious cabin, distinctive styling, well equipped.

 Against: poor residuals, driving dynamics, cheap cabin materials.

Auto Trader [33]

Pros: low CO2 and high mpg, distinctive design, plenty of room.

Cons: interior quality disappointing, outclassed by rivals, holds value poorly.

Parker's [34]

Pros: Much kit as standard, high-tech features, driver comfort, practicality.

Cons: Not particularly sporty, still lacks the brand appeal of its German rivals.
The AA [35]

Likes: styling typically Saab but updated for the modern era; comfortable seats are a Saab
trademark; cabin space is first rate - especially rear legroom; sensible pricing for the mainstream
variants.

Gripes: simple styling could be viewed as bland by uncharitable critics; can't match Jaguar's XF
for sporting character; clutter-free cabin is welcome but quality of materials chosen could have
been better; auto gearbox option could be more responsive.
