New Suzuki XL-7 SUV Promises Car-Like Ride and Refinement
As was noted earlier in the article, the XL-7 no longer comes standard with seven seats; the third row is an option for the upper ‘Luxury’ model. The new stretched Theta platform allows the XL-7 to offer greater third-row comfort, including up to 1,016 mm (40 in) of rear legroom, and 896 mm (nearly 39 in) of headroom. The third row also incorporates a 50/50 split fold, which is capable of being stored in the floor for a large, flat cargo area. For even greater versatility, the XL-7’s second- and first-row passenger seats also fold, allowing extra-long items, such as a small kayak, to be carried on board.
The new XL-7 is expected to arrive in dealerships this fall. Pricing will be announced closer to its release date.
