In its second model year, Suzuki's XL7 has dramatically broadened the audience for what remains Suzuki's largest SUV. With a powerful 3.6-liter V6, available seating for seven and more convenience and luxury features than its predecessor, the XL7 hits the sweet spot in the ultra-competitive, midsize SUV segment. It does so with four (4) five-star safety ratings for driver and front passenger frontal impact, and front and rear outboard passengers side impact.
For 2008, a new, more affordable base model is offered while the list of standard equipment on the Luxury and Limited models has been improved, so much so that a fully equipped XL7 Limited is a bargain compared to the key competitors' base models.
