Suzuki XL7 Review - Kelley Blue Book

[rslemmer09]

My parents had an '07, over all really enjoyed it. The dealer we bought it from *cough* faulkner *cough* is a joke, but their suzuki division was (thankfully) purchased by Sutliff, which is where we had any warranty work done. Traded it in last year for a top end Impala which has had more wheel, tire, and alignment problems than i have gone through tires for my car... *6* in 5 years, but i dont rotate, nor do i have a feather for a foot.

And one other thing I forgot to add is that getting service on the XL7 is like pulling hen's teeth. The Suzuki dealerships have pretty much closed up shop or moved away.

Well, I bought this vehicle back in 2007 and what a waste. The moonroof leaked and it was supposedly repaired. However, it started leaking again about 3 weeks ago and that's when I decided to get rid of it. It started leaking under the dashboard, I don't know how many gas caps I had to replace because after a couple of months they didn't stay on, which kept the engine light on. Please don't waste your time or money on this vehicle because they don't make them anymore.

Last gen XL-7 made in Canada in a plant owned by GM and Suzuki. The quad-cam V-6 is a GM motor (check the emission stick under the hood-yup, GM) as is the '09 6-speed auto. Rumor was on the '09 some had the direct-injected fuel injection, don't know that for sure; chassis was a stretched version of Equinox/Torrent (Epsilon chassis, not a modified car chassis). Not a bad design, detractors say it can't go off-road very well, but done right they are excellent...ask Jeep!

the only thing that gave suzuki and edge was the use of thebody on frame design with out it I will just get a crew cab truck and call it a day

[hawkes312]

Used to have one and it has both parts GM mainly but i think the only thing from suzuki is engine, pretty much everything else is gm steering, navi, keyless remote ect

[2004SiennaAWD]

ummm...Its has a GM Stereo and steering wheel...

[abyrd024024]

Suzuki should stick to motorcycles

[MAGICKUWAIT]

GM actually holds 45% from suzuki , which made the xl7 on the base of gmc accadia,

[ECDT1089]

you mean equinox

[capang9555]

The xl7 looks to gm to me!!! I think that it was made by gm

[ringgoamanda]

@capang9555 nope... it is made by suzuki



[quatlen]

who would buy a suzuki xl7?

[buddsta05]

the suzuki is built on the same platform as the chevy equinox and saturn vue

[capang9555]

Ya I think ur right the nav looks gm! :P but... It is a diffrent car acording to the iihs! Yet I know it's made by gm the nav etc... look so gm!!

I love Suzukis. The new Grand Vitara might be my next car.

[harisahmed90]

Grand Vitara is by far the best small SUV in the market.

[clz777]

yeah.. me also.. I own the old XL-7 (before this model.. it's 2003's) and so far, it's still worthed to be rid.. power is good enough for highway, but unfortunately, the fuel economic should be better..

[banstaman]

How many miles do you have on yours? Mine is an 02 with 124K miles. Everything is fine so far, except for a clogged CAT but I'm almost certain it's because the dealer sold us a car that was involved in an accident, which lead to many problems. Even there, the car is still reliable. I am, however starting to get annoyed by the cheap, hard plastic throughout the car.

[harisahmed90]

sx4 and grand vitara are suzuki own designs,

but forenza and xl7 are gm models..

[Halo3lov3r]

yup because the xl7 is the chevy tracker

[LilRedDirtDevil]

actually the tracker was the samurai...or later known as the vitara, then grand vitara...which were suzuki designed... the XL7 was ultimately just a stretched Vitara, gm had nothing to do with the XL7, the forenza was a Daewoo Lacetti designed by Daewoo

[LilRedDirtDevil]

Ok and the SX4 is a design that is used by Fiat..known as the Fiat Sedici. No disrespect, just thought I would share some Suzuki Knowledge.

[harisahmed90]

SX4 might be used by fiat,

but that car was desigent by Suzuki Japan..

[LilRedDirtDevil]

Yup....I knew that. I was just giving some useless info, lol

[mtooshort20]

is GM controlling suzuki now? because it has the same 3.6L V6 from the malibu, camaro, and equinox, as well as other "borrowed" amenities.
