Saab 9-5 Saloon boot space, practicality and safety
1997 - 2005
(change model)
9-5 was one of the first cars in its class to score the maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test. It is a very safe car indeed. Security has not been overlooked, either.
Lots of interior space and the fat tail provides a very large boot. Split-folding rear seat gives extra load carrying potential.
