More power and revised equipment were the big changes for 2002. The XL-7's V6 engine gained 13 horsepower. A LATCH rear child-seat anchor system was installed. For 2002, the Standard model switched to five-passenger seating, losing its third-row seat. Other versions stuck with seven-passenger seating. Standard and Plus 4WD models now came with antilock braking, and all 4WD versions gained heated door mirrors. The XL-7 Limited added a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, woodgrain plastic console trim, and optional heated front seats.
2003 Suzuki XL-7:
Standard and Plus models were dropped for 2003, leaving only Touring and Limited editions. Five-passenger seating was standard, with a third-row seat optional, including rear air conditioning.

The 4-speed automatic was upgraded to a 5-speed unit and the model lineup was trimmed to just the LX and EX.
2005 Suzuki XL-7:
Suzuki's midsize SUV gets a tire-pressure monitor and new model names for 2005. XL-7 is basically a stretched version of Suzuki's compact Grand Vitara, with a 12.6-inch-longer wheelbase, 22.9 inches of added length, and a larger 2.7-liter V6.
