| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very comfortable even with rear facing car seat behind either driver or passenger seat. Head room was good even with moon roof. see full Saab 9-5 review |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Extremely comfortable and supportive. air-cooled seat option is great in the summer. Front seat ergonomics and comfort blow away those of bmw, infiniti and acura, although leather quality is not as good. see full Saab 9-5 review |

| 2007 | 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD |
