The air over SAAB City Showroom was filled with the snarls of the new SAAB 9-5 to herald the arrival of a new Anything But Ordinary car in town. The 2010 Saab 9-5 is new from the ground up, riding on a new chassis with all-new bodywork, interior and superior comfort.
If you've always had a thing for bodywork and interior, you'll love what the new Saab 9-5 has brought to our shores. Sporting the same engines and drivetrains from the Saab 9-3, and matched to a new adaptive suspension with Adaptive Cruise Control and Traffic Sign Recognition now both offered and with engines bio-fuel compatible, the new Saab 9-5 on our shores have made it known that the new SAAB 9-5 is at the front of the luxury class.
Sleek, sophisticated and unmistakably Saab, the all-new Saab 9-5 saloon signals the dawn of a new era for the Saab brand. With progressive, confident styling and advanced technology, Saab's distinctive new flagship will bring a fresh, alternative choice to the premium saloon segment.
It was interesting to walk around the showroom which had been very well layed out to best present their cars’ differing aspects. The sales gave some background about SAAB and the various aspects of the engine development, including, an aircraft-inspired head-up information display (HUD); adaptive headlights (Bi-Xenon Smart Beam); adaptive cruise control; Saab DriveSense adaptive chassis with real-time damping control; keyless entry and starting; dual-zone climate control; dynamic parking assistance, and Saab XWD with eLSD: the industry-leading all-wheel-drive system, bringing new levels of engagement for the driving enthusiast.
Following our viewing of the different SAAB cars, we were invited for an excellent buffet.
Some members even got a chance to experience the SAAB cars themselves during the test drive hour. Putting the sleek cars through their paces in acceleration and braking tests.
It was a pleasant evening which no doubt we will want to repeat again as the industry grows.
