Saab 9-5 Engines and Transmissions

Saab 9-5 engine and transmission options include the gasoline 2.0 MT manual, diesel 2.2 AT automatic and gasoline 3.0 AT automatic. These selected Sedan versions all use front-wheel drive. A manual gives you direct control over gear selection, while an automatic reduces the effort of driving in stop-start traffic.
