2007 Suzuki XL7

The 2007 Suzuki XL7 is all new featuring a bigger body and a more powerful engine. The exterior is restyled with a sleek and expressive design with triangle-shaped turn signals, bold three-bar grille with large Suzuki “S,” muscular wheel arches, dual exhaust with chrome tips and integrated roof racks. Riding on a four-wheel independent suspension, the XL7 is available in front- and all-wheel drive. Under the hood is a 252-horsepower 3.6-liter 24-valve V6 engine that’s mated to a five-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shifting feature. Suzuki claims the SUV goes from zero to 60 mph in less than eight seconds and delivers better fuel economy than its predecessor with a rating of 18 and 24 city/hwy for front-wheel-drive models and 17/23 city/why for all-wheel-drive versions. The interior is more spacious and features upscale wood or satin nickel appliqués on the instrument panel and doors, chrome accents throughout and matte black, low-gloss surfaces. The optional Platinum Touring Package (late availability), replaces the DVD entertainment package with a power tilt-and-slide sunroof and adds a touch-screen DVD-based navigation system and chrome plated alloy wheels.
