Having owned a 9-5 wagon (last SAAB), I can say that the SportCombi has roughly the same cargo capacity, but the space is configured differently. The space behind the rear seats is slightly shorter (from seatback to hatch) and not as wide. I temporarily had used my 9-5 cargo floor mats in my 9-3SC and it fit fine, but the rectangular strip that fits closest to the reat seats did not (about 2 inches too wide). The two side covers did not fit either (too large).
I'm now using the 9-3SC rubber cargo mat (that scuffs too easily).
I do miss having the CargoTracks (although I rarely used them) and the hard parcel shelf in the 9-5 (although the retractable cover is nifty in the 9-3SC). Also, in the 9-3 Aero (and 2.0Ts with the Premium package (upgraded radio)), the Twin Floor storage is absent-due to the fitment of the subwoofer enclosure.
