Saab 9-5 And Its Drivers Top HLDI Safety Study

DETROIT, Mich. - Drivers of the Saab 9-5 sedan and 9-5 SportWagon are among the safest group of drivers in the market. According to the recently published Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) report, the Saab 9-5 sedan topped the luxury midsize category for relative frequency of injury insurance claims.

HLDI's study, covering model years 2001-2003, compares cars on the basis of cost of injuries sustained following on-road crashes. The study indicates the relative frequencies of injury compensation claims from an insurance company, per insured vehicle year.

Both the 9-5 sedan and SportWagon achieved a rating of "substantially better than average" for injury claims in the luxury midsize category. According to the HLDI formula, the Saab 9-5 sedan's top ranking for injury claims is 53 percent better than average, and the Saab 9-5 SportWagon's ranking is 39 percent better than average. Saab congratulates its drivers who significantly helped achieve these top scores.

Saab's real-life safety philosophy puts priority on systems and structures that help protect Saab occupants during a real-world collision. Although Saab conducts numerous laboratory crash tests and other tests on the 9-5 - including simulated animal collisions and truck-to-car side impacts - it is real-life collisions and their infinite variables that drive Saab safety engineers and their work.

One feature that distinguishes the Saab 9-5 from its competitors is the Saab Active Head Restraint (SAHR) system in the front seats. Investigations have shown that this system reduces the risk of whiplash to front-seat occupants in rear-end collisions by as much as 75 percent, compared with older Saab vehicles without active head restraints.
