The Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7, produced from 2001 to 2009, was a mid-size SUV that aimed to provide a balance of off-road capabilities, spacious seating, and practicality for families and adventurous drivers. Building upon the proven platform of the Grand Vitara, the XL-7 added a third row of seating, expanding its passenger capacity to seven. This made it a compelling option for those seeking a family-friendly vehicle that could also handle challenging terrains. Powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, the XL-7 offered a smooth and responsive driving experience, coupled with respectable towing capacity. The XL-7's four-wheel drive system, while not as hardcore as some dedicated off-roaders, provided ample traction on slippery surfaces and light off-road excursions.

The XL-7's design featured a rugged and boxy exterior, emphasizing its utility and adventurous spirit. Its interior, while not as luxurious as some competitors, offered comfortable seating and ample cargo space. The XL-7's versatility was further enhanced by its fold-flat seats, allowing for a variety of cargo configurations. Despite its practicality, the XL-7 received criticism for its somewhat dated interior design and lack of advanced features compared to its rivals. Nevertheless, it carved a niche for itself as a capable and affordable seven-passenger SUV, appealing to families and individuals who valued practicality and ruggedness over luxury and cutting-edge technology. While the XL-7 may have lacked the polish of some competitors, it offered a reliable and capable package that provided a satisfying blend of utility and off-road capability.
