Suzuki's midsize SUV gets a tire-pressure monitor and new model names for 2005. XL-7 is basically a stretched version of Suzuki's compact Grand Vitara, with a 12.6-inch-longer wheelbase, 22.9 inches of added length, and a larger 2.7-liter V6. LX and uplevel EX models seat five passengers. Versions labeled LX III and EX III add a 3rd-row seat for 7-passenger capacity. LXs come with manual transmission, EXs with a 5-speed automatic that's optional on LXs. XL-7 offers rear-wheel drive or 4WD that should not be left engaged on dry pavement but has low-range gearing. All models include a tire-pressure monitor. ABS is standard on all but the 2WD LX, where it's optional. Neither front side airbags or curtain side airbags are offered. Leather upholstery is standard on EXs.
