| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Most car seats can be comfortable for a 1 hour drive. Few can be comfortable for a 4 hour drive. Luckily the Saab seats fall into the latter category. see full Saab 9-5 review |
| 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 |
