Overview & Reviews

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.

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

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

  Nice, reliable SUV. Lots of space. My wife pushed for it, and I got a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended if you you look for space and your budget is tight.

  Durable but Needs to have a Better Ride - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By Trish - February 15 - 10:10 pm

  I enjoy driving my XL-7 around town but do not like taking it on long trips due to the rough ride. The ride is very bumpy and uncomfortable. I read that the 07 model will have a smoother ride. If thats the case I wouldnt hesitate to consider purchasing one. The price and warranty are good. Its reliability is good. I have not had any problems.

  Beautifully done for a cute ute - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By CD Ottawa, Canada - May 5 - 10:00 am

  Does everything well: handles, rides, easy to drive, hauls, pulls. Pricing is though to beat. Tried many others, but this one fitted like a glove. RPM too high at highway speed though engine is smooth and quiet. Good quality fabrics and plastics. Dont have 3rd row therefore 2nd row should slide rearward a bit more. A bit too thursty for a small V6. Hatchdoor swings on the wrong side, should have lift glass to compensate. GOOD ventilation. Truly civilized for an offroader. Not the vehicule your neighbours will apreciate but boy you sure will.

  I love it! - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By Sherri - November 20 - 7:46 pm

  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.

  Rough ride - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By ted armand - April 16 - 10:00 am

  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.

  good for us - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By april - May 25 - 6:40 am

  We like our XL7, its good for a small family, not really for seven grown ups. Other then that, I love it. its got 4x4 and does have the extra seating if you need it. Its better for two adults and two kids, than anything else.

  Check It Out - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By grntd22 - March 25 - 11:30 am

  The Suzuki XL-7 is a great SUV. It would be much better though if they offered more power and towing capacity. the 2.7 liter engine is too weak.

  By bb - April 7 - 11:46 am

  We have owned our Suzuki XL-7 for 1 1/2 years. The reason I bought it was the warranty, the design, and the trade in deal they gave me. It feels very solid and handles well, I am 6 feet tall and there is a lot of headroom. I think the XL-7 could be a bit longer, but it is adeqaute with smaller kids. We have the 3rd row seat which is very tight. If the SUV was a foot longer the 3rd row would be a bit more pratical. We bought out XL-7 with 6,000 miles on it for $20000, $15,000 with our trade. The dealer gave me $5,000 for a 1994 Ford Explorer Limited with 99,000 miles on it. My wife likes the size of the XL-7 and finds it easy to navigate. She feels safe driving in snow with the 4WD.

  Good Little Car - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By Suzuki XL-7 4DR - October 9 - 5:53 am

  I test drove almost every SUV made including the Navigator, Escalade, and Lexus. The XL-7 doesnt 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 all Ive no problems with performance AND Ive gotten quite a few compliments on the body style also. This would be a great business vehicle!
