The architecture also supports four-wheel drive, to help Saab keep up with increasingly ballistic German outputs. Aside from the latest four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, the 9-5 will get a new V6 common rail diesel that's under development, while the blown petrol V6 should reach the 350bhp mark to raise the Aero bar. Saab will also step up its biofuel push with the new model.
