Saab 95 I gallery (1959–1978)
A compact three-door station wagon featuring an innovative seating layout and aerodynamic profile.
The Saab 95 entered production in 1959 as a three-door station wagon based on the mechanical platform shared with the 93 and 96 model families. A key functional highlight was its practical interior configuration, featuring a rear-facing fold-down third-row bench that enabled the compact wagon to seat up to seven passengers. Mechanically, early iterations were powered by a 841 cc two-stroke three-cylinder engine, which was superseded in 1967 by the more durable and efficient 1.5-liter Ford Taunus V4 four-stroke engine. Power was delivered to the front wheels via a column-shifted four-speed manual gearbox with a freewheel mechanism. Throughout its production run ending in 1978, the model received continuous visual and technical revisions, including aerodynamic nose refinements, integrated front disc brakes, enlarged tail lamps, and beefed-up impact bumpers. The vehicle was actively marketed in Scandinavian countries, the United Kingdom, and select export regions as a reliable all-weather utility car.
