The XL7 model has returned to the Suzuki range, but this is no longer an SUV or even a full-fledged SUV.
The Japanese brand has officially unveiled a seven-seater crossover designed for Indonesia. The model was not developed from scratch, in addition, it has a twin in India.
A seven-seat version of the Grand Vitara frame SUV was once sold with the XL7 prefix, then this index was inherited by the Suzuki crossover, whose closest relative was the first generation Chevrolet Equinox. Well, now the name XL7 has been transferred to the cross-version of the latest generation Ertiga compact van - the cross-country van has launched on the Indonesian market.
It is curious that the “off-road” Ertiga debuted last year in India, but there this modification is called XL6. The fact is that the “crossover” is available to Indians exclusively with a six-seater interior, with two “captain’s” chairs in the second row. In Indonesia, the crossover, like the original Ertiga, is offered with seven seats.
Externally, the Indonesian cross completely copies its Indian brother, the only difference is the presence of a spoiler on the fifth door, and in the wheels - the XL7 has 16-inch ones, while the XL6 has 15-inch ones. But there are quite a few differences from the “just” Ertiga: the cross-version received not only a protective body kit around the perimeter of the body, but also a different radiator grille and headlights, and roof rails appeared on the roof. The length has increased from 4395 to 4450 mm (for some reason the XL6 has a different figure - 4445 mm), the wheelbase has not changed - 2740 mm. The ground clearance of the XL7 is 200 mm versus 180 mm for the Indian XL6 crossvan (the standard Ertiga also has 180 mm).
