This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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.

  • I love it! - 2004 Suzuki XL-7

    I love this SUV! Ive had it a year and I still enjoy it. The only thing I dislike about it is the rear door. If someone parks to close to you, you cant open it, as it swings out instead of up.

    As midsize SUVs go the Suzuki XL7 is a bargain. Mine stickered for almost $23,000 but with discounts got it for only $17K. Considering you get automatic temperature control air conditioning, CD player, cruise control, and antilock brakes in the deal thats not too bad. Ive put 11,000 miles on it and have had no problems. The build quality is quite good and the doors sound solid when you shut them. The driving position is comfortable and it performs reasonably well except in high winds. The gas mileage is much worse than I would have expected in a 6 cylinder midsize SUV, and the engine could use more power.

  • Best SUV for the money - 2004 Suzuki XL-7

    The 04 XL7 is the best vehicle that I have ever purchased. I saw a loss- leader ad in the newspaper and decided to check it out. The 04 XL7 were on sale for 17,900. The dealer honored it and I got some fantastic financing and drove home with my new car. Since my insurance co considers a XL7 as a station wagon, my premium dropped by $400. I couldnt be happier.

    The Suzuki XL-7 is the perfect mid size SUV for moms who dont want a BIG SUV or the expensive gas bill! It is kid friendly and easy to maintain! Its comfortable on long trips! I suggest the third seat option, just in case you need it! :) This truck has great storage and gets great gas mileage!

  • XL-7 good stuff - 2004 Suzuki XL-7

    Inside and outside of the 2004 XL-7 is beautiful.Well done wood grain dash and lighting.The heated seats are great and the sound system is the best in class.This SUV is fun to drive and a ride that is as good or better than most large size SUV.The XL-7 V6 motor has great power for it size.When you need to pass someone just steep on the gas pedal and hang on for the ride.

    i purchase it in janurary of 2004 and have 12000 miles on it im very pleased with the suv and am thrilled to drive it on long road trips. i enjoy the roomness of the three rows of seat. i also like the idea of folding the seat down when im making a trip to be able to lay out fully in the back. i bring a blanket and pillow and take a nap will on the highway. i also love the rear a/c that allows the passangers to conrtol how much a/c they want. ive taken several trips from new orleans to nashville and dallas and have est. 24 miles to the gallon. i researced this suv against outhers like the kia , hynudia,toyota and rear a/c is optional .

  • Rough ride - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    Very disappointed with the ride, feels like I am riding in a wagon. You feel every bump in the road, even went as far as lowering air pressure in tires. Love everthing else about it.Maybe I should have bought a car.

    we rented a similar car for our trip to San diego, a we loved it, after a few month we decided to buy a new xl7 4x4.

  • 02 XL7 - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I have a 02, not a 03. Handles great. My last two SUVs were Jeep Grand Cherokees. Jeep obviously roomier but XL7 handles much better and fun to drive.

  • OUTSTANDING VALUE - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I Purchased my Suzuki at Al Packer Suzuki in West Palm Beach Florida. Great people no pressure agreed to terms quickly. I disagree with the reviews comparing this vehcile to a honda CRV. In my case I compared it to a Honda Pilot. Very Close in almost ever catagory with the exception the Honda had a Power seat. In the end I did not see where the Honda was worth $6000 more. Would highly recomend this vehicle
