I was a skeptic of buying foreign vehicles, but the Suzuki XL-7 has won me over. This vehicle is fun to drive, handles well and is very reliable.

First time Suzuki owner. It has plenty of power and is fun to drive. Only been back to the dealer for a seat belt replacement. Would not retract. Lots of snow in this area. No problem with this baby getting around. Shift to 4 wheel on the fly is super. Would buy another one in a minute.

It has a big turning radius. That is the only negative. It handles well and the fuel economy and acceleration are acceptable. Excellent cockpit design, radio and cruise controls are on the steering wheel. Leather is nice and comfortable. It is fun to drive.

Bought mine in Japan from a friend who recently divorced and needed the cash. Only 2300 miles on it at the time. Great SUV with luxury Helly Hansen package, (not available in US). CD/MD 7-speaker stereo system is outstanding. I drive very steep and long hills to teach English at several locations weekly. The 2.7 V-6 handles the hills without breaking a sweat. Great Ride! I love it.

This vehicle is great for the price. The third row seat is tight but comes in handy when you need to fit the whole family. The OEM tires have to go.

I live in Toronto. It is a snow country. I need a SUV for safety arround a year. I pick XL7 because it has a good price($34000 CAD). The real 4X4, seating comforable and redesigned the interior and it look good. Outstanding SUV in this price!!!

Well I took the time and tested well known SUV like Nissan, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and others no so popular brands like Kia. Except the Isuzu(rodeo), all of them gave me a nice impression. After 2 months of testing My wife and I pick the Suzuki. It was the best value for the money; I like the ride, the power and the build quality. Really nice sound system also. The only reason why this car is cheaper than others is because of the name, Suzuki is not so popular. This car has better performance and offer more standard features for $10000 dollars less than the others. You can’t go wrong with this car!

I had no idea that Suzuki produced such a fine SUV. Any other brand SUV would have cost a lot more green. I have the hard to find Limited and love the detail in every part of the SUV. I belive this should be on any one's list looking for value and quality. I am sold.

This SUV is really fun to drive and looks great too. All around solid vehicle makes it a super value. The creature comforts in the Limited are nicely done and the third row seats are great to pack in a few more rugrats.

I was looking for an SUV as a second vehicle to compliment a luxury sports sedan that I have. I seem to have found it. The style is contemporary. Interior is beautiful and plush. There is plenty of cargo room. The ride and quietness is almost better than my 35K sedan. I drove several SUVs in the low 20's and this one by far could compete with those 10K more. I think it will be a great experience

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT MANY DIFFERENT MID SIZE SUVS WHEN CAME UPON THE XL7 WE REALIZED WE FOUND JUST THE RIGHT MIX. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. FIT AND FINISH IS SUPERB, THE RIDE IS NICE BUT YOU CANT EXPECT A CADILLAC RIDE FROM AN SUV STILL THE XL7 FEELS GOOD. THE INTERIOR LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU WOULD FIND ON A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. ACCELERATION IS GOOD JUST DONT EXPECT V8 TYPE POWER INA 2.7 LITER V6.

I own a 1996 Ford Explores XLT, fully equipped (leather, sunroof etc.)I am very happy with it. I believe in brand loyalty, when you receive good service and value, and Ford has delivered for me. I didn't know Suzuki had a larger sized SUV. For a minute there I though it was a customer vehicle! The XL7 is a great value. I bought the Limited, 3 rows, leather seats, excellent sound system, sun roof etc. I looked around, feature by feature, and there was no better value for the price I paid. I've got close to 8,000 miles on it and I have no complaints!

The XL-7 is exactly what we needed at an excellent price. We have researched test drove and priced numerous vehicles with the seven seat capacity including the Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Montero, Volvo XC-90, and the Infiniti QX-4. Aside from the XC-90 the Suzuki XL-7 is technically comparable except for a few minor conveniences. Also in price the XL-7 is practically half the price of the XC-90 which was the biggest sellin point for our household. All in all we find the XL-7 an excellent buy for a solid and safe SUV.

This is the best ride I've ever been in. I enjoy the fact that I feel like I'm riding on air. I barely feel the bumps on the road, the engine is quiet and I enjoy the comfort that the vehicle provides.

I have less than 13,000 miles on this suv, but have had the abs changed on front wheels, and rear wheel bearings changed. And now the remote is not working! Too many problems for a new automobile. I fear that other problems will arise.
