Product Overview

Saab 9-5 (chassis code YS3E) facelift 2 is an affordable executive sedan in production from 2005 to 2009. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.9 to 2.3 liters.
With this facelift, the V6 engines were discontinued, and the 9-5 was limited to turbo I4s. Still, Saab managed to squeeze out more power from its engine lineup, with up-rating all over. The Aero version in particular was pushing 260PS from its 2.3L engine.
Saab also improved the vehicle's suspension setup, though the 5-speed automatic remained.
