All-new Saab 9-5 SportCombi to Debut at Geneva

Trollhättan, Sweden: Saab Automobile takes the next step in the biggest new product offensive in its history when the much-awaited 9-5 SportCombi is unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

Sleek and fun-to-drive, the SportCombi adds versatility to the widely acclaimed attributes of the 9-5 sedan and will bring a distinctive, alternative choice to the premium, large wagon segment.

It shares the sedan´s bold, Aero X-inspired looks and features an extended, falling roof-line which culminates in a steeply raked rear screen flanked by signature Saab ‘wraparound´ window glazing. The result is an imposing and sporty wagon with a low stance and a dynamic, visual appeal that concedes nothing to the requirements of load-carrying.

Experience a new perspective.
Sometimes, when you look at things in a different way, you see beyond the obvious: A snowflake is a reminder that cars should be as much fun to drive in winter as in summer. And a crampon isn´t just a climbing aid, it becomes the inspiration for Saab XWD, our cross wheel drive-system. Fresh perspectives like these have always helped us discover new solutions. Now, we´ve done it again with the new Saab 9-3X, the car that can handle every road condition.
