While Suzuki's top model is obviously fully-featured, its best attribute has to be its versatility. Both second and third row seats are split to allow passengers on one side and long loads on the other - anyone want to go skiing? Incidentally, the second row seats move fore and aft to allow greater leg room for those riding in back.
The XL-7 is a smart alternative for growing families who have become tired of their minivan but still need a lot of interior room. Suzuki's good build quality and better than average reliability only make the choice easier.
