Sport utility vehicles dream of climbing mountain trails, forging high-country streams and slogging through bumper-deep powder snow. However, more often than not, everyday chores give way to this dream and today's SUVs are usually relegated to grocery haulers or carting the kids around. For this reason, the Suzuki XL-7 combines the best of both worlds.
With its tough body-on-frame design, torquey V6 engine, generous ground clearance, and available electronically controlled push-button four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing, the Suzuki XL-7 successfully tackles the most rugged off-road path. Yet, it offers available third-row seating for seven, a flexible and cavernous cargo area, top-rated crash protection and amenities rivaling some of the more expensive SUVs.
