Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Affordable base price, competent on- and off-road handling, available seven-passenger seating.
Cons
- Cramped second- and third-row seating, dated cabin design, low-grade interior plastics, side airbags not available.
What’s new
The XL-7 receives minor updates to the exterior and equipment list. The Touring and Limited models have been renamed EX III and LX III. The front grille and bumper have been reworked, and the foglights, taillights and headlights all have a new look. The front-passenger airbags are now multistage, and there's a new panic button on the keyless remote. Lastly, the V6 engine gets two additional horsepower for a total of 185, and the automatic transmission is now a five-speed unit.
Edmunds says
By offering a third-row seat in a compact SUV, Suzuki answers a question not many people are asking.

4 out of 5 starsSuzuki XL-7 4DR, 11/05/2007
2004 Suzuki XL-7 EX Rwd 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
I test drove almost every SUV made including the Navigator, Escalade, and Lexus. The XL-7 doesn't have the luxury of these SUVs but for the money, it surpassed all the others that we tried. It handles well and rides fairly comfortably, although the gas mileage could be better. Blind spots where the backseat headrests and the spare tire cover are can cause problems at times. All in … all I've no problems with performance AND I've gotten quite a few compliments on the body style also. This would be a great business vehicle!

2004 Suzuki XL-7 LX III 4WD 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
We have 4 children, ages 2-10 with one
on the way.. My wife doesnt want to
drive a tank, I dont want to pay for
one... Our solution??? THE XL-7..
The interior is perfect for our family.
It seats all of us comfortably without
making us feel like we should be paid
$0.36 a mile and be home on weekends.
It came with all the features we
wanted, 4 wheel drive, pwr windows, …
locks, mirrors, and numerous
cupholders. The engine pulls strongly
all the way to the redline..
Awesome value!

2004 Suzuki XL-7 EX III 4WD 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
My wife and I bought a brand new 04 XL7
EX3 fully loaded to haul our 2 kids
around. All I can say is that I'm
surprised that it offered the same
things as the Honda Pilot! Plus, the
interior design is nicer, there's
standard wood trim, and the leather is
softer too. 185HP isn't a lot in the
midsize class, but if you need basic
transportation and don't need to tow
you're … absolutely fine. We recently
took a 200 mile trip with our kids and a
crowded trunk with luggage on the
rooftop and I can safely say this car
never ran out of breath. I'm glad I
found Suzuki!
