Exterior

Suzuki deserves ample credit for creating a signature look with the XL7; it stands out in the sea of all-too-similar-looking SUVs we’re bombarded with today. Sharply angled headlights and a shiny chrome grille will grab your attention, even if the large, black-plastic front bumper leaves you wondering about that particular choice.

From the side, the Suzuki XL7 has the qualities we love in SUVs, like a good height and chunky tires. I enjoyed the privacy glass on the XL7 because nobody needs to peep in and see how much junk my family cruises with in the car. I did feel that the third-row windows got ripped off a little, though, because they end abruptly.

The rear of the XL7 was dull. Boxy and dull. The taillights are big, a feature I usually enjoy, but the hatch door is so large it makes them seem small and totally pushed off to the side. They looked like an afterthought.
