The dashboard was revamped for 2007, with the Saab Information Display moved from its high mounted position to the main instrument binnacle.
The button-heavy climate control system disappeared, replaced by the Saab 9-5 climate control system, OnStar was re-introduced and required when Nav was ordered in North America, and the corporate GM head unit debuted, which allowed for satellite radio and MP3 CD capability.
The suspension went from harsh to firm, and the cabin was quietened.
Steel Gray was also replaced with Titan Gray as an exterior color choice.
For the 2007 model year, the 9-3 was also available with Biopower versions of the 1.8t and 2.0t engines, able to run on E85 as well as petrol.

In the U.S. market, only the 210 hp 2.0-liter 16-valve turbo engine and the 250 hp 2.8-litre V-6 turbo were available.
The manual transmission in the 2.0T model was changed from a 5-speed to a 6-speed.

A 60th Anniversary Edition was also offered for the sedan, wagon, and convertible body styles for 2007 to celebrate 60 years of SAAB.
The package was available on 2.0T cars and included unique five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, black leather sport seats with grey inserts and SAAB embossments on the front seats, dark walnut trim, black floormats with grey binding, front fog lamps and a BOSE audio system with 6-disc CD changer and satellite radio.
Sedan and convertible models also received trunk-lid spoilers.
An Ice Blue metallic paint was offered for the edition, as well as standard SAAB paint colors.
