Suzuki XL-7 for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Affordable base price, competent on- and off-road handling, available seven-passenger seating.

Cons

Cramped second- and third-row seating, dated cabin design, low-grade interior plastics, side airbags not available.

What’s new

The XL-7 receives minor updates to the exterior and equipment list. The Touring and Limited models have been renamed EX III and LX III. The front grille and bumper have been reworked, and the foglights, taillights and headlights all have a new look. The front-passenger airbags are now multistage, and there's a new panic button on the keyless remote. Lastly, the V6 engine gets two additional horsepower for a total of 185, and the automatic transmission is now a five-speed unit.

Edmunds says

By offering a third-row seat in a compact SUV, Suzuki answers a question not many people are asking.

Suzuki XL-7 4DR, 11/05/2007

2004 Suzuki XL-7 EX Rwd 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)

I test drove almost every SUV made including the Navigator, Escalade, and Lexus. The XL-7 doesn't have the luxury of these SUVs but for the money, it surpassed all the others that we tried. It handles well and rides fairly comfortably, although the gas mileage could be better. Blind spots where the backseat headrests and the spare tire cover are can cause problems at times. All in …

2004 Suzuki XL-7 LX III 4WD 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)

We have 4 children, ages 2-10 with one on the way.. My wife doesnt want to drive a tank, I dont want to pay for one... Our solution??? THE XL-7.. The interior is perfect for our family. It seats all of us comfortably without making us feel like we should be paid $0.36 a mile and be home on weekends. It came with all the features we wanted, 4 wheel drive, pwr windows, …

Awesome value!

2004 Suzuki XL-7 EX III 4WD 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)

My wife and I bought a brand new 04 XL7 EX3 fully loaded to haul our 2 kids around. All I can say is that I'm surprised that it offered the same things as the Honda Pilot! Plus, the interior design is nicer, there's standard wood trim, and the leather is softer too. 185HP isn't a lot in the midsize class, but if you need basic transportation and don't need to tow you're …
