Product Overview

Saab 9-5 Wagon (chassis code YS3E) facelift is an executive station wagon in production from 2001 to 2005, whereupon it received a second facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.2 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelift model updated the engine lineup. Otherwise, the exterior styling received minor updates that somehow had a negative effect on the vehicle.
