Saab 9-5 Wagon – the ideal company car
Company car users who value comfort, safety, versatility and driving satisfaction, will find the Saab 9-5 Wagon has all the right qualities to meet their needs as 'the ideal company car'.
The Saab 9-5 Wagon makes a compelling choice for business users with
a host of useful features that can ease stress and maintain comfort levels,
keeping the driver fresh and focused for work. It also makes a convincing
choice for companies who want to safeguard the well-being of employees
in their cars, as well as in the workplace.
The benefits of providing
excellent in-car ergonomics and driver workload management systems, for
example, are reflected in an employee who will
not suffer from driving stress or of back-aches. And in the field of
safety, excellent crash impact protection can benefit employers as well
as employees through fewer working days lost.
Current features that position
the Saab 9-5 Wagon as an ideal company car include:
| - | Saab ComSense. This driving safety strategy minimizes the potential for driver distraction through 'dynamic workload management', momentarily suppressing dashboard warning messages or incoming calls on the integrated phone. |
| - | Neck injury protection system. Unique Saab Active Head Restraints (SAHR) fitted to the front seats help prevent neck injury following rear-end collisions. |
| - | State-of-the-art crash worthiness. The Saab 9-5 has achieved a maximum 5-star EuroNCAP crash test rating for front and side impacts. |
| - | Driving safety. Accident avoidance improved through the standard fitment of electronic stability control (ESP), helping to counteract any driver misjudgements, and bi-xenon headlights, giving illumination twice as much powerful as conventional halogen bulbs. |
| - | Controlled air quality. A combined electrostatically-charged and carbon filter removes airborne particles as small as 4 microns, such as dust, soot and pollen. |
| - | Safe load-carrying. Impressive seat-down capacity. |
| - | Seating comfort. High mileage drivers, in particular, will appreciate the widely-acclaimed comfort and support offered by Saab seats. |
| - | Low-speed impact resistance. Self-repairing molded plastic bumpers typically absorb impacts up to 8 km/h without the need for repairs. In heavier impacts of up to 30 km/h, small load-bearing 'crash boxes' behind the front bumper deform, minimizing damage to the body structure or body panels. |
| - | Parking assistance. A warning alarm is triggered when the car is about to be reversed into a low wall or obstacle unseen by the driver. |
| - | Swift overtaking is safer. High-torque turbo engines allow for quick, decisive overtaking, reducing risk exposure for the driver. |
