Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers generally find the 2009 XL7's exterior to be pleasant and unassuming, and even a little stylish.

• "The stylish exterior is bound to get your attention. And when you look at the pricetag, you'll likely want a test drive." -- Daily Southtown
• "Exterior design cues are progressive and should be plenty to separate the XL7 from the more conservatively designed SUVs. I liked the long hood line, and I felt the big fender flares gave XL7 an aggressive feel. I prefer monotone moldings, so the black bumpers in front and back were easily the accent I least liked for the exterior." -- Chicago Sun Times
• "Hot or not: Not. The XL-7 has an ungainly appearance, tall and wide without being particularly handsome." -- U.S. News
• "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." -- Mother Proof
