2007 review Suzuki XL7
Suzuki XL7 new generation - the child of the dissolved parents. This huge off-road car withthe Japanese company, presented on a motor show in New York, at all under the American - it it also is, as is constructed on platform General Motors and put in action by the engine of working out General Motors.
After the Japanese company has redeemed own actions at the American concern, old partners did not begin to stop cooperation. On platform GM Theta has appeared new seven-seater Suzuki. And who will guess now, that in relatives at it such cars, as Pontiac Torrent, Chevrolet Equinox

At a new off-road car it is accurately traced, as it is accepted to speak, mark DNA - is a little, famous for the energetic all-wheel drive midget cars, allroad, as the Japanese ninjia.
In large forms extravagance of "Suzuki" looks a little absurdly; however, unusual "person" with headlights-patches for certain will involve those who has got tired of monotonous aggression and "cargo" design of last models of off-road cars. Perhaps, the main disappointment for admirers of mark is covered under кузовным metal: has put at all that the platform is borrowed at GM, and that she bearing - at former XL7 under little bit archaic design hid the present frame. To name Suzuki XL7 an off-road car now it is possible only with great reserve - now it is a fashionable crossover, a semiminivan, the semiversatile person and a semioff-road car with limited possibilities.

However, its suspender for certain will give pleasure to fans of comfortable driving: in front - "MacPherson", behind - multilever. In seven-seater execution in a suspender of rear wheels can appear Nivomat. The system of a hydropneumatic suspender self-regulated on height has received this name at all in memory about cult for many Japanese 4x4 the car, which many years did (and the neighbour continues to do) their western: Nivomat has been developed by company Sachs and it is offered basically for the European subcompact cars and minivans.
The design of an interior is unusually boring for Suzuki and suspiciously reminds last "European" interiors of off-road cars GM.
Here class canons are observed - the light tree and dark plastic of the central extension housing develop in plain letter Т which in Suzuki did not try to diversify at all with design finds like metallized "wells" on metre panel Mazda CX-9 - other Japanese-American off-road car debuting in New York.
