2011 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL 7 bargain review
A lengthened version of the Grand Vitara SUV, the 2011 2012 Suzuki XL 7 is a midsize SUV. It has a 12.1-inch longer wheelbase, 19.1 inches more overall length, and is powered by a supersized version Grand Vitara's V6. XL 7 offers rear-wheel drive or 4WD for offroad. The XL 7 offers manual or automatic transmissions and a lower end climbing gear. Two trim packages are offered, Touring and Limited models, both of which accommodate 5 passenger seating, or seven with an optional third row seat. ABS is standard on Limited, optional on Touring. The purpose of our monthly 2011 2012 Suzuki XL 7 review is to provide you with the latest specs, information and Suzuki XL 7 pictures to help your research for a new car. Suzuki introduced the XL 7 in 2001 as a solution to those not comfortable in larger SUVs. The 2011 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL 7 bargain offers perks that others in its class do not offer, including smaller size and seven passenger seating.
Both trim models of the Suzuki Grand Vitara XL 7 bargain are powered by a 2.7 liter engine producing 183-horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission are available on the Touring model, while an automatic only is available on the Limited. Towing capacity is 3,000 pounds. The XL 7 comes standard with antilock brakes, but side impact airbags are not yet available. The XL 7 earned a "Good" overall score from the IIHS for the 40-mph frontal offset crash test. As of the posting of this 2011 2012 Suzuki XL 7 review, the NHTSA had not tested the XL 7, though the regular Grand Vitara has been given four stars (out of a possible five) for driver and front-passenger protection in frontal impacts.
Of the two available trim models, Touring and Limited, the base Touring model is equipped with power door locks, mirrors and windows; remote keyless entry; cruise control; automatic climate control; daytime running lights; adjustable center armrest with CD storage; a seven-speaker stereo system with an in-dash CD player; integrated stereo controls and cruise controls on the steering wheel; 12-volt accessory outlet; aluminum wheels; and tinted privacy glass. The base XL 7 equipped with the third-row option adds a rear air conditioning switch in the center console and rear air vents. The Limited model gets all the above plus running boards, four-wheel ABS, leather seating, heated mirrors, a power sunroof and an in-dash six-CD changer.

Of all the 2011 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL 7 bargain accessories and features we have reviewed, the optional third-row seating, puts the XL 7 ahead of the other small SUVs. This feature does not become available until you start looking at the large size SUVs. XL 7's legroom in this position is fairly confined however, and this row is probably more suitable for smaller occupants. This is a practical consideration when you are loading up your XL 7 with gear and kids for a long trip. This model compares very well with the other members of this class.
