The 2002 Suzuki XL-7 was a mid-size SUV that marked Suzuki's foray into the growing American market for larger vehicles. Built on a platform shared with the Chevrolet Tracker and Geo Tracker, the XL-7 offered a spacious interior, capable handling, and an appealing price point. Power came from a 2.7-liter V6 engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering a respectable 180 horsepower. The XL-7 featured a comfortable, car-like ride thanks to its independent front and rear suspension, and offered decent cargo space with its second and third rows of seats folded down. The XL-7 came with a range of features, including air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player, making it a practical and comfortable choice for families and adventurers alike. However, the 2002 XL-7 also faced certain shortcomings. It was criticized for its lack of refinement compared to its rivals, with a noisy and somewhat sluggish engine, and a stiff ride, especially on rough roads. The XL-7 was also known for its unreliability, with numerous reported issues related to the engine, transmission, and suspension. Furthermore, its safety ratings were not particularly strong, with a low score in the IIHS frontal crash test. Despite these drawbacks, the 2002 Suzuki XL-7 remained a popular choice for those seeking a spacious and affordable SUV, though its limited reliability and safety features required careful consideration for potential buyers.
