The next-generation Saab 9-5 has been spied under heavy camo several times. Using those photos, as well as some insider information, our graphic artists have to put together illustrations of what the final product should look like.
Saab has done quite well so far in keeping the 9-5 out of the public eye - as well as the spy photographer's eye. Since it's still undergoing testing, a lot of camouflage covers most of the important bits of the car such as the character lines, shape of the rear and so on. Nevertheless it can be made out that the roof flows much smoother into the rear, making it look almost coupe-like. Also some styling cues from 9-4X BioPower concept should appear in the final design.
The 9-5 will gain some extra weight, height and length over the current model. The wheelbase is also being increased by 14 cm to make the car a large one indeed. It should fit in nicely within its competition cluster, which consists of cars like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Cadillac STS and Volvo S80.
The public unveiling of the next SAAB 9-5 will happen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
