Overview & Reviews

For 2003, Suzuki has updated the Grand Vitara XL-7's dash and console with wood grain trim, chrome accents and a 12-volt accessory outlet. Other additions to the interior include a new seven-speaker system, integrated audio and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, an adjustable center armrest with CD storage and smaller rear headsets for better rearward visibility.

Suzuki has also changed some of its trim names for 2003. The previous "Standard" trim has now simply become the XL-7, while the "Plus" has become the XL-7 with the option of third-row seating. The "Touring" model has been dropped all together. The Limited model is now being offered with a six-disc in-dash CD changer. Finally, a Limited model with the third-row option is also available with climate control and a rear air conditioning switch.

• Affordable base price, competent on- and off-road handling, optional seven-passenger seating, stylish design.

• Cramped second- and third-row seating, side airbags not available.

  love my suzuki - 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  By FAL - April 6 - 10:00 am

  I bought my 2003 suzuki XL7 3years ago and I love it. It has gotten me through a really tough winter 2009 in MD. My only problem is that my CD player just stopped working my friend who also has the XL7 had the same problem with her CD player and a CD got stuck in hers. I was able to get my CD out but it just doesnt play at all. Other than that I love it, It has an automatic starter (not sure who added that but it is a plus) I would buy another one...but hope this one last a long time.

  The all new 2003 Suzuki XL7 rocks! With its brand new redesigned interior, and steady handling, it makes it the best suv on the market. (in its category).

  Nice Vehicle for the price. - 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  By First Time Suzuki - December 1 - 10:00 am

  I checked out a few SUVs including the Isuzu Trooper, Honda Pilot, Isuzu Rodeo, Toyota Highlander, Ford Escape and many others. I finally ended up with the XL-7 Limited. For the money, this SUV is great. The leather is supple, the front dash looks very nice. The wooden trims combined with chrome accents give the interior a very expensive look. I especially like the part where the front cup holders and space are completely covered with the same interior color plastic. The self illuminous dash light is very easy to read during the day or night. More engine power, power seats and 2nd 3rd row shoulder to shoulder seating space need to be enhanced/added.

  Great Buy! - 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  By jimayaay - June 13 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Very Good for the Money - 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  By BobP - May 2 - 10:00 am

  So far it has been a great SUV for me. It is the first I have owned. I looked at many others in this class and most were much more expensive, were less roomy, and the interior materials looked cheaper. The Suzuki was above average in all of these areas. The build quality is excellent. The engine and transmission are quiet and smooth. So far in mixed driving I am getting 20mph. There is plenty of cargo space and comfort.

  BUDRO - 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  By BUDRO - March 19 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Vehicle - 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  By Susan - January 16 - 8:06 am

  This is my 2nd Suzuki and really like the performance, value and mileage. Getting a fully loaded XL-7 for 10k lower than everyone else makes this vehicle very affordable! My salesperson really knew her stuff, but sitting in the XL-7 actually sold itself. And talk about performance, someone drove my vehicle and said it drove like his Tahoe. I recommend you test drive one and youll never buy anything ele. Unbelievable value for your hard-earned dollars!
