2004 Suzuki XL-7 news, pictures, and information

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.
