Saab is continuing the development of its 9-5 model, seen here in a couple of spy shots. The new Saab 9-5 will be presented in September at the Frankfurt motor show, 12 years after the original first generation model. The new model will use an Epsilon II base, the same on which the Opel Insignia has been designed.

The new 9-5 will have a longer wheel base and a length of about five metres. The engine range will include petrol turbo units, BioPower and TiD/TTiD diesel options. A 3.6 litre turbo V6 at 350 hp will appear at the top of the range, while the entry level version should be a 2.0 litre turbo at 210 hp.

A future Saab 9-5 hybrid is not out of the question. The look will be a typical four-door coupé, and production should start in June at Opel facilities in Russelsheim, and not in Sweden.
