The 1999-2003 model years represent the first facelift of the Saxo, incorporating subtle exterior design changes and improved interior features. This generation of the Saxo offered a range of engine options, including the popular 1.1-liter petrol engine and the more powerful 1.6-liter petrol engine. While known for its affordability, maneuverability, and practicality, the Saxo also boasted a sporty variant, the Saxo VTS, equipped with a 1.6-liter engine tuned for performance.

The car's front-wheel drive system and a range of suspension configurations provided a comfortable and agile ride. This period of the Saxo saw improvements in safety features, with the introduction of driver and passenger airbags, as well as anti-lock brakes (ABS) on certain models. The Saxo's interior provided a simple and functional cabin, with comfortable seating for four passengers. While not as spacious as some of its contemporaries, the Saxo offered practicality with a reasonable boot capacity for its size. The 1999-2003 Saxo has gained a reputation for its reliability and low running costs, making it a popular choice for both individuals and families.
