Suzuki Saudia, the sole distributor of Suzuki vehicles in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a member of Bamarouf Group, has announced that it has prepared exciting schemes as part of initiatives to highlight the key features of the new edition of the Suzuki XL7, the crown jewel of Suzuki's unique range of groundbreaking 4x4 vehicles.

"The dynamic second-generation Suzuki XL7 has been refined into a midsize crossover SUV to appeal to a wider market. Developed with a focus on on-road performance, the XL7 seamlessly combines superb driving experience, passenger comfort and on-road handling and performance with the versatility, functionality and high level of safety of an SUV, making this midsize crossover ideal for long trips with family and friends," said Ahmed Al Shamaile, Sales Manager of Suzuki Saudia.

Benefiting from Suzuki's 40 years of expertise in design and technology, the XL7 emphasises functionality and safety as a sport utility vehicle (SUV). The 3.6-litre V6 engine is the largest engine ever made by Suzuki, with the 4-valves-per-cylinder format contributing to its excellent power and offers outstanding fuel efficiency.

The engine is mounted on a double-isolated engine cradle system to reduce noise and vibration being transmitted into the cabin. A host of refinements such as the aluminium engine block and cylinder heads contribute to the engine's reduced weight, outstanding durability, fuel efficiency and exciting performance.

The AWD system routes most of the engine's power to the front wheels to optimise fuel economy. When sensors detect wheel slip, the electronic control divides power between the front and rear wheels for extra traction. Primarily intended for use on roads in adverse weather conditions, it also provides excellent traction and mobility off-road.

"The integrated design delivers the XL7's identity, a smooth blend of form and function. The XL7's structure incorporates full-length frame design and offers full safety to passengers; and now with our new settlement scheme, Suzuki enthusiasts can afford to own their family vehicle, which definitely suits their requirements," concluded Shamaile.
