The XL7 and SX4 add to what already has been an extraordinary period in Suzuki’s history with record sales in 2005 and during the first half of 2006, along with last year’s launch of the completely redesigned Grand Vitara. The media acclaimed Grand Vitara brand icon provided consumers with their first look at the next generation of Suzuki vehicles in the United States and exceeded expectations for a responsive, yet affordable compact SUV.
 
Suzuki’s diverse product line now features the XL7 and Grand Vitara SUVs and a variety of cars to match the needs of every lifestyle. The 2007 vehicle line also includes the functional SX4 compact crossover, popular and versatile Forenza sedan and Forenza Wagon, European-styled Reno and sporty, yet fuel-efficient Aerio sedan. The entire vehicle line offers something for everyone and exceeds consumer expectations with standout virtues for toughness, leading-edge style and high-end features at prices well below the competition.
