The 2008 Suzuki XL7 is part of a growing class of crossover utility vehicles that stretch between compact and mid-size, and feature a small third-row seat that’s only good for small children—but nevertheless expands passenger capacity to seven.

The third-row seat in the XL7 is more useful than the extremely pinched ones in the Outlander and Tribeca, but comparable to that in the RAV4.

Compared to these other vehicles, the XL7 has what’s perhaps the softest, most comfortable ride, while still allowing decent handling.

The Outlander and Tribeca feel much sportier behind the wheel, even though the amount of power they have to haul their weight around is similar.

The XL7’s engine, a 3.6-liter V-6 made by Suzuki in Japan, is especially smooth.

The Santa Fe, Outlander, and RAV4 all offer more economical four-cylinder engines, but in the Santa Fe and Outlander the four-cylinder is only offered with the five-passenger layout.
