The Suzuki XL-7 hit the market in 2001 and made news as the smaller SUV with a third row of seats. The XL-7 comes in 6 trims that basically break down into 2WD and 4WD versions of the Base, Plus, and Touring. All trims have 4 doors and seat 7 passengers.

In addition, the XL-7 uses a 2.7 L, 170 hp V6 powertrain with 5 speed manual transmission. Expect to get around 17 mpg in the city and 20 on the highway. If you need room to store your belongings, fold down the second and third rows to get up to 73 cubic feet of cargo space.

Drivers like the inaugural edition of the Suzuki XL-7. The low price and solid handling get the highest claim among the XL-7's features. However, critics warn that you could do better than a 170 hp V6 for an SUV and that the XL-7 could use removable second and third rows. In any event, the 2001 Suzuki XL-7 presents a good, inexpensive first SUV for a young family. If you need a little more power from your XL-7, go with something from 2002 or later.

I've driven my XL7 for 10 years in a 4 season climate and there's no rust on the body or undercarriage. Other than regular maintenance, I really haven't had to put any money into it except for the A/C which was a huge repair bill and very disappointing since it was barely used in the first place. This vehicle doesn't accelerate all that great which isn't helpful on the highway. It gets great city mileage and even better highway mileage. It handles well and the seats are still comfortable after all this time. Second and third row seats fold down. Lots of room for kids, dogs, groceries, etc. Jun 20, 2010

Actually, it's not bad, but the fuel consumption..... It is spacious, ready for 7 people Excellent off roading It doesn't look handsome or attractive But it is cheap in price, it is hard to believe such a low price you can get a 7 seater 4WD!Aug 01, 2009
