It also represents a further development ofthe Saab 9-5 wagon's sporty character.
The exterior and interior styling follows themes from the Saab 9-3X 'cross-over coupé' concept presented last year and the current 9-3 Sport Sedan. Versatility features that are innovative and surprising support Saab's concept of 'emotional functionality'. Page 1 of 1
