2007 Suzuki XL7 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2007 | 4dr SUV 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I like being able to seat 7 people, which we have done several times. To be fair the 3rd row seats are best for children or small adults but the way the second row can be folded makes access easier. The front & second row seats have lots of legroom. see full Suzuki XL7 review |

The seats are fully adjustable which I appreciate a lot on a long drive. I tend to stiffen up in a less adjustable seat but the XL7 allows me to readjust enough to really help. Plenty of headroom and comfort. see full Suzuki XL7 review |
