With its wagon body style, the SportCombi offers additional cargo capacity without the bulk of a minivan. A turbocharged 2.3L engine cranks out 260-bhp through the front wheels. Transmission choices include a standard 5-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic. The 9-5 SportCombi is available in one well-equipped trim level, although several option packages are available. Saab has kept the 9-5 continually updated, but it really needs a completely new replacement to be competitive in the luxury sport wagon segment.
