The 2003 Suzuki XL-7 tops off Suzuki's sport-utility line-up
with nothing to spare. It has size, power, and versatility.
Three rows of seating move up to seven people. The 2003
Suzuki XL-7 has all the trimmings you would expect in a
well-appointed luxury SUV plus real hauling power - it can
tow up to 3000-pounds, much higher than most other SUVs
in its class.
Available Models
Touring and Limited trim levels for the 2003 Suzuki XL-7
are offered. Also choose from two- or four-wheel drive.
Interior Features
Both models of the 2003 Suzuki XL-7 have standard seating
for five people, with the option of a 3rd row seat for two
additional people. Inside the Touring trim, standard features
include front air conditioning, rear air conditioning (with
3rd-row seat option), interior air filter, power steering,
tilt steering wheel with radio controls, cruise control,
front bucket seats, 2nd-row split folding seat, 3rd-row
split folding seat (with 3rd-row seat option), power mirrors,
power windows, power door locks, remote keyless entry, and
AM/FM/CD player.
Up the line to the Limited trim, additions include leather
upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power sunroof,
and AM/FM radio w/in-dash 6-disc CD changer. The seating/cargo
configurations in both trims are almost endless with the
addition of the 3rd row seat option. The total interior
cargo space is 75.1 cubic-feet. Pack it all in and go.
Exterior Features
The 2003 Suzuki XL-7 is as well appointed on the exterior
as it is on the interior. Standard to the Touring trim is
rear privacy glass, 16-inch aluminum wheels, heated driver-
and passenger-side power mirrors, as well as roof rails
in the unlikely event you couldn't fit something inside.
On the Limited trim add rear spoiler, running boards (with
3rd-row seat option), fog lights, and heated power mirrors.
Performance
The largest engine Suzuki has to drop in is the 2.7-litre
V6, 24-valve, quad-cam engine pumping out 183 horsepower
@ 6000 rpm and 180 ft-lb of torque @ 4000 rpm. Estimated
fuel consumption is 17/20 (city/hwy) mpg. 5-speed manual
or 4-speed automatic transmissions are available.
Safety and Security
Standard safety features include second-generation dual
front airbags, daytime running lights, height-adjustable
shoulder belts, keyless remote entry, rear-door child safety
locks, child seat LATCH system, and an energy-absorbing
steering column. ABS brakes are optional to the Touring
trim, and standard on the Limited trim. Also standard to
both trims: reinforced side-impact beams, a steel-reinforced
passenger compartment, and integrated front and rear crumple
zones to reinsure impact safety.

2003 Suzuki XL-7 Highlights
 The
XL-7 builds on the basic virtues of the Suzuki Grand
Vitara. With a 12.6-inch longer wheelbase and an overall
length that is 19.1-inches longer, the XL-7 offers
much more interior space. It has a larger, more powerful
V6 engine than its compact-class sibling, and the
midsized XL-7 can be equipped with manual or automatic
transmission and rear- or four-wheel drive.
With
prices ranging from under $20,000 to just over $26,000
depending on trim level and options, the lavishly
equipped XL-7 costs a fraction of some prestigious
SUVs, yet it matches many of them feature-for-feature.
And for 2003, the XL-7 moves further upscale with
an all-new dashboard and console design, as well as
the addition of new equipment such as: six-disc in-dash
CD player with seven speakers including subwoofer
and tweeters, automatic climate control and more.
Either
trim level can be had with a "third-row option"
that adds a split-folding rear seat, upping the total
head-count from five to seven passengers. The third-row
option also includes rear air conditioning with control
switches in both front and back, as well as a below-deck
storage bin and a first aid kit. Both the Touring
and Limited Edition are available in two- or four-wheel
drive.
And
like all 2003 Suzuki models, the XL-7 is covered by
the best warranty in the business, Suzuki's new 7-year/100,000-mile
powertrain limited warranty. Fully transferable to
succeeding owners and free of deductibles for covered
items, the powertrain limited warranty is designed
to boost value of time of resale value or trade-in
and underscores the corporation's confidence in its
product quality. This powertrain warranty covers the
engine, transaxle, transmission, transfer case and
front- and rear-wheel-drive systems. Although Kia
and Hyundai offer 10-year/100,000-mile warranties,
they aren't fully transferable.
