It comfortably transports you and 6 of your favorite people in its three rows of seating. For 2009, the Base trim and all models that accommodated only 5 passengers have been discontinued. There are currently three trims to choose from: the Premium, Luxury and the Limited. All available trims now come with a stock 3.6L 252hp V6 engine that provides ample power for all scenarios. The 5-speed automatic transmission has been upgraded to a fuel-saving 6-speed auto.

Available features for safety include ABS braking, front/side/side curtain airbags, anti-skid system, electronic traction control and more. There’s also an innovative load-leveling electronic system standard on all trims. Towing capacity is capped at 3500 pounds and all trims offer either front-wheel or all-wheel drive systems. Limited trims feature genuine leather upholstery, NAV systems, DVD entertainment and sunroofs.

Competition for the 2009 XL7 from Suzuki comes from the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Ford Flex, Dodge Journey.

Every model in the Suzuki line has a reason to stand out in the crowd in 2007, from the new Aerio with its price and its segment-leading handling and performance. Then there is the 2007 Suzuki Forenza sedan, a modern engineering miracle. This car is a must-have for your family, getting you there and back safely, in style, and affordably. 2007 looks like a great year for Suzuki, and thankfully, for the US driving public as well.

Standard features like air conditioning, power steering, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, power door locks, and a full armamentarium of airbags. There is no wonder that SUV owners are faced with a dilemma when thinking of trading in their urban assault vehicle for a 2007 model.

Suzuki is Japan’s second largest manufacturer of economy cars and models like the 2007 Suzuki SX4 will keep people coming back. The SX4 is America’s solution to the parking shortage. With its small size outside and huge space inside, the SX4 is nearly an optical illusion in its roominess. Like to travel in style? The SX4 has every bit the styling and quality features of cars costing thousands more. On the street, the 2007 Suzuki SX4 will shine, upgraded with a smart body kit, spoiler, and ground effects.

SUV, Suzuki probably has a 2007 model to fit your needs. When the topic is SUV value, the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara is sure to enter the conversation. World class seating, cargo carrying, and styling are but a sampling of the qualities that make the 2007 Grand Vitara a winner. Marvel at Grand Vitara’s handling and standard features, not to mention its best in class warranty. Another made-for-the-family vehicle is the 2007 Suzuki Forenza Wagon, which causes people to stop in the street and wonder, “How can I get one of those?” No need to swap price for quality when it comes to the Forenza Wagon.

A forum poster over at Motive discovered the very first undisguised photos of the production version of the Suzuki Kizashi ahead of the mid-size sedan’s official debut that’s scheduled for Thursday, July 30. We’ve seen one too many spy shots (along with a set of official sketches) of the Kizashi to be surprised with the sedan’s looks, but nevertheless, we must say that the transition from the 2008 NY Show concept to the final production model leaves a bitter taste to the mouth. Hit the jump for the photo album or click here to check out our previous post on the Kizashi that includes pictures of the sedan’s interior.

The production version of the Suzuki Kizashi sedan was officially revealed today in a special launch event in Detroit. Built at Suzuki’s new manufacturing plant in Sagara, Japan, the Kizashi will serve as the company’s flagship model when it arrives in North American showrooms this winter. Available in both front- and all-wheel drive versions, Suzuki’s Mazda6 and VW Passat rival will initially be offered with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine linked to either a 6-speed manual transmission or optionally, a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Standard equipment on all the 2007 Forenza models includes air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors. For more pampering, try the Popular trim level which offers cruise control and keyless entry. For sun worshipers, the Popular trim level can put you in more intimate touch with the healing rays of the sun with a standard sunroof. The interior features of the Forenza offer its driver a fully adjustable seat, excellent instrumentation, and a superb audio system. The split folding rear seat will not go unnoticed as it offers a configuration for carrying some pretty unwieldy cargo.

Safety is a priority in the 2007 Suzuki Forenza, as exemplified by its front side airbags, 4-wheel disc brakes, and optional; anti-lock brakes. The Forenza handles admirably in a variety of driving conditions. Highway travel is quiet and relaxing, while it also manages curves with agility and surefootedness. Off the line, the 2007 Forenza is not a jackrabbit but, ascends hills with aplomb. Surprisingly for an economy automobile, the Forenza is remarkably quiet, especially on the highway. Engine noise does become noticeable on acceleration, but outside noise is minimal. Braking is quick and sure with no fading or mushiness behind the break pedal.

We especially liked the exterior lines of the 2007 Forenza, which are clearly European influenced. The strong grille statement and up-swept headlights positively smile at you. The fuel economy specs for the 2007 Forenza are worthy of review with 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway for the manual transmission, and 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway for the automatic. The 2007 Suzuki Forenza is a car designed for the economy-minded driver, but keeps up with its upscale competitors with its admirable performance, and many coveted features.

With a redesigned Italian style front fascia featuring the new Suzuki grille and an upgraded interior, the Forenza entered the 2006 model year without much industry excitement or acclaim. Although the cabin was spacious and attractive, materials were substandard in comparison to other economy cars. Power and performance were again both lacking when compared to other small cars, yet it could still get you where you wanted to go with some impressive safety and convenience features without draining your bank account.

The 2007 Forenza is equipped with an unassuming 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine that produces 127 horsepower. Front wheel drive and a 5 speed manual transmission come standard, while a 4 speed automatic is optional. With mpg ratings of 22 in the city and 31 on the highway, the gas mileage is not overwhelmingly impressive. Only one trim level is available for both the sedan and the wagon with standard equipment including color coordinated front and rear bumpers, a tire-pressure monitoring system, adjustable driver seat, air-conditioning, power operated doors and windows and a premium eight-speaker stereo with CD player with steering wheel mounted controls. An optional Convenience Package adds a remote keyless entry and cruise control, while the Popular Package includes these features and also adds a sunroof.

2.5L 152hp 172 lb-ft DOHC I4 or the 4.0L 261hp 281 lb-ft V6. Both are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The V6 engine is great for powerful cruising and also ensures you of a smooth, quiet ride in almost every driving situation. Steering is responsive and firm, braking is effective and the quality of the ride is at least adequately comfortable. In fact, the Equator offers you a more pleasant-feeling ride than several of its competitors.

Its low-ranging gear ratios make the 2009 Equator a serious player in the off-road realm. The rear locking differential is accompanied by 3 separate skid plates and spacious ground clearance as well. You can take on rough terrain with confidence whenever the need arises. It’s a fact that most pickups are driven with no bed cargo most of the time. That being said, either the I4 or V6 engine Equator is an intelligent choice for most drivers. Unless you regularly have the need for heavy hauling or towing, a midsized truck like these Suzuki’s is a great choice - especially with today’s fuel prices.

The 2009 Equator by Suzuki is targeting the outdoor enthusiasts and those who desire a sportier look than is delivered by many of the competition including the Chevrolet Colorado, the Ford Ranger, the Honda Ridgeline and the Toyota Tacoma. In fact, the 2009 Equator is Suzuki’s version of the Nissan Frontier. The major differentiation between the two in appearance is the innovative and bold front styling of the Equator.

One of the most popular selling points of the Suzuki Equator is that it comes stock with a 7-year, 100,000-mile, zero-deductible standard warranty that remains completely transferable. It is also notable that the Suzuki Company had over 3 million sales of motorcycles and ATVs in 2007 alone. These vehicles require a truck to haul - and the Equator is set up perfectly to do so. Sports enthusiasts are lovin’ the Equator big time. It is one of just a few midsized pickups that come with a possible Crew Cab/Extended bed length configuration.
