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.

  Out of 19 SUVs this is the one. - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By underpaid - May 21 - 10:00 am

  After reviewing and test driving 19 Midsize SUVs and owning Luxury SUVs for the last 5 years we can the conclusion the Suzuki is by far the best value in the market. Dimensions similar if not larger than Jeeps Grand Cherokee. Fuel economy at 22mpg hwy (24 observed). Luxury features in the EX with a True 4wd system on a truck frame with a car like ride all for $25k LOADED make this one choice you must look into. Pound for pound or dollar for dollar you will not find another vehicle that comes close. Rear leg room is actually better than specifications show, nearly 40" with a 510" driver.

  my second suzuki - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By nauj - April 13 - 2:00 am

  I traded a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara for a 2004 XL-7 Limited 2WD in Dec. 2003. The 99 was trouble free and very reliable and I have no reason to beleive that the 2004 will be any different. The ride is very quiet with no road noise, a killer stereo system, comfortable leather seats, a beautiful dash with wood grained accents and the feel is like Im driving something much more expensive. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a mid size suv to look at and test drive the Suzuki. I think that they will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of vehicle for the money.

  Suzukis are bulletproof - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By sbehrman - December 7 - 2:00 am

  This is my fifth Suzuki. They are bulletproof. Very high reliability, conservative engineering, excellent fuel economy. The XL-7 is geared a bit low, so I fitted the biggest Michelin tires that would fit in the wheel wells, making the gearing "taller" by about 5%. The car still clims the 6% grade between 6000 and 7000 feet on the east side of Donner Pass in 5th gear.

  My MIni Landcruiser - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By malimida - March 21 - 10:00 am

  I already own a Large SUV, but needed a more compact alternative for work. I love this car, the price was right, it has the room for work materials (Im in Sales)and my golf clubs, it gets better mileage, its sporty, has great interior features and looks like a Mini Toyota Landcruiser. This is a cool SUV.

  Most for my money - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By Chad Underly - January 11 - 2:00 am

  I have not had to take my Suzuiki back to the dealer since the day I drove it off the lot. I love the v-6 engine and the ample cargo space. My only regret is not paying a little more for the optional 3rd row seat and rear a/c...the trucks standard a/c can barely keep up on hot summer days.

  best suv for the money - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By Charlibear63 - December 31 - 10:00 am

  We owned a 2003 lxiii 2 wheel drive and traded for the 04 4 wd and the difference is noticable. Seems to have better handling and the ABS brakes are a plus. Great interior and better fuel economy thanks to the new 5 speed automatic. keep up the good work Suzuki;-)

  8 years and 38K miles later - XL-7 still runs great! - 2004 Suzuki XL-7
  By ihot - September 17 - 7:23 am

  Its June 2012, 8 years and 38K miles after we purchased our XL-7, and it still runs great! 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.
