The XL-7 features a standard V6 - unlike most of its competitors. All XL-7 models come with a 2.7-liter, 24-valve, DOHC engine, developing 185 horsepower and 184 foot pounds of torque, providing up to 3000 lbs. of towing capacity.
Air conditioning with automatic climate control and micron air-filtration system
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature at the desired level. The micron air-filtration system screens out dust and pollen to keep the interior comfortable and clean.
Power windows and door locks
The XL-7 is equipped with power windows and door locks….All included as standard equipment.
3-channel Anti-lock Brake System with Electronic Brake-force Distribution
Standard on XL-7 for 2006, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) maximizes steering control during heavy braking on slick roads. By preventing lockup, ABS helps to steer clear of obstacles. In addition, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) uses electronic controls to distribute less pressure to the rear brakes during panic braking to prevent rear wheel lock-up.
Dual-stage driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with front passenger seat weight sensor
Dual-stage front airbags are capable of deploying with reduced or full force for appropriate levels of safety. The front passenger seat weight sensors prevent deployment of the front passenger seat airbag if the occupant weighs less than an average adult, as airbag deployment can be an additional hazard to a child.
Tilt steering-wheel with integrated audio controls
The premium in-dash CD player also plays CDs with MP3 and WMA audio files, and comes XM Satellite Radio-ready for musical versatility. Steering-mounted audio controls are a standard safety feature on XL-7.
Steering-wheel integrated audio controls
Music at your finger tips… Music's good, but music with eyes on the road and hands on the wheel is better.
Tire-pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving on tires with low pressure is not only dangerous, but reduces gas mileage. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts the driver when the tire pressure becomes critically low. (Note: Tire pressure should be checked regularly using a tire pressure gauge. See owner's manual for details.)
5-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission with 'Power' mode selector switch
Standard for all XL-7s, the 5-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission comes with Power mode selector switch that up-shifts at higher RPM for additional power.
Remote keyless entry
Safety and convenience - this standard feature provides added security and confidence with every use.
Leather-trimmed seat upholstery
For a feeling of luxury and comfort, the XL-7 is also available with leather seating surfaces.
Power tilt-and-slide sunroof
With a push of the button, let the fresh-air and sunlight become as much a part of the inside as it is out.
Six-disc in-dash CD AM/FM/MP3/WMA XM Satellite Radio-ready audio system
The premium six-disc in-dash CD player features seven speakers, including dash-mounted tweeters and an adjustable 100-watt subwoofer located below the driver's seat for a fuller range of sound. The CD player is capable of playing CDs with MP3 and WMA audio files and comes XM Satellite Radio-ready for hours and hours of music, and of course, the steering-wheel mounted controls are included.
Fog lamp
Helping to brighten the road ahead - the XL-7 adds fog lamps to the list of premium features.
Rear spoiler with brake light
XL-7's sleek rear spoiler gives this SUV a sporty edge.
Side-step running boards
This sleek feature makes it easier to climb into an XL-7...and did we mention that it looks tight?
Optional third row seating with rear air conditioning
Have a family of seven or just yourself and six of your closest friends? The XL-7 offers the flexibility and room for everyone to relax in style. The optional third-row seating provides room for seven and comes standard with rear air conditioning to keep everyone comfortable.
Optional 'Drive Select' 4x4 system
This available feature lets you shift into four-wheel drive with a touch of a button when you need added traction.Source - Suzuki

When the Suzuki XL-7 was first introduced, it was basically a enlarged version of the Grand Vitara. The Suzuki Grand Vitara had a rear-wheel drive platform and powered by a V6 engine that displaced 2.7-liters. Four-wheel drive was optional, which added to the vehicle's versatility.
The Suzuki XL-7 was the least expensive SUV available with three-row seating in North America. Over 20,000 examples were sold each year and was eventually awarded a Consumer's Guide Best Buy award. The competition took notice, and soon began taking sales away from the XL-7.
Suzuki partnered with General Motors, something they have done in their past on other models, and introduced the new version of the XL7 for 2007. it shares the same unibody platform and many mechanical components of other General Motors products such as the Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, and Chevrolet Equinox. The third row seating, however, is exclusive to the Suzuki XL7. The vehicle is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine rated at just over 250 horsepower. The wheelbase measures 112.4-inches and has a length of 197.2-inches.
