For 2001, Suzuki has introduced the all-new Grand Vitara XL-7 to the small SUV market. Designed to carry seven passengers, the XL-7 is available in three trim lines: Standard, Plus, and Touring (a high-end Limited trim will be introduced later in the model year). All XL-7s are available with four-wheel drive. Power is provided by a 2.7L, 170-hp V-6 engine. Depending on which trim is chosen, a manual or an automatic transmission is available. Standard safety features include dual next-generation front airbags, child safety seat anchors, and child safety locks. In addition, the Touring models are equipped with four-wheel anti-lock brakes. Available upgrades include a CD player, a power sunroof, and rear air conditioning.

The right sized SUV
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Larger V6, good interior capacity and still getting 20-25 MPG
Cons: so new some after market accessories are not available yet
Bottom Line:
Dads, this both what you want and need. It has truck toughness and horsepower to spare, passenger capacity, more stylish than a minivan, and is still reasonably priced.

Fun to drive ...
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: turning radius, handling, performance, quiet
Cons: Cibie fog lamps, cruise control, foot room (rear), original A/C compressor life
Bottom Line:
For young or mature couple with less than three [grand]children who don't car-pool, an unqualified yes. Soccer moms and car-poolers will need more space. We love it!
