The SAAB 9-3 (2011-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.9TTID DPF 180 EU5 SE AUTO6 is a premium-leaning, five-door estate: a practical alternative to family hatchbacks and larger SUVs. Its long roof and useful boot suit everyday errands, luggage and weekend trips, while its understated Swedish design gives it a more individual feel than many mainstream rivals. With a strong diesel engine and automatic transmission, the 9-3 Sportwagon is well suited to motorway commuting and family duties, especially for drivers wanting comfortable, relaxed progress. The SE trim adds an appealing level of equipment, and the estate body offers more carrying flexibility than the 9-3 saloon, without the bulk of a large SUV.
