Saab 9-5 Estate (1999-2005) boot space, practicality and safety
Looking for a different model?
(change model)
9-5 was on of the first cars in its class to score the maximum 5 stars in the crash test. It is a very safe car indeed. As you would expect, safety has not been overlooked either.
Lots of interior space and a very large flat floored boot – the floor also slides out beyond the rear bumper to aid loading heavy items. Split folding rear seat gives extra load carrying potential.
