It's considerably safer than the Passat and here's the proof:
EuroNCAP tests:
(Copy & paste)
1997-2000 Passat: http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/details.php?id1=3&id2=4
Poor safety!
2001- Passat:
http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/details.php?id1=3&id2=92
Mediocre safety.
9-5:
http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/details.php?id1=4&id2=51
(only difference between this and perfect score on later 9-5s is the seatbelt reminder.)
Finally the 9-5 is classed higher (Executive car) than the Passat (large family car) with regards to size and weight, so the ratings compare even better for the Saab.
