Suzuki's largest SUV carries as many as seven riders on three rows of seats in a cabin that stretches about a foot longer than Grand Vitara. The exterior design appears more sophisticated and serious, as interior appointments rise in tone and quality.

Trim designations vary to denote the count of passengers. The LX is a five-seat version with 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. LX III offers the third-row seat option to raise the rider capacity to seven. EX loads appointments in five-seat configuration, while EX III does the same but brings the third-row choice. It also gets rear air conditioning and side-step running boards, with leather seats available.

Power for all flows from a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 185-hp. A 4WD system is optional with push-button operation.
