2024 Suzuki XL7 Hybrid First Impressions | AutoDeal Walkaround

New for 2024, the Suzuki XL7 Hybrid! Check out the latest and greatest seven-seater MPV that Suzuki has to offer in the Philippines. Let's show you what's new with the mild-hybrid model. A new grille, new trim pieces, a few more new bits accompany a more efficient engine. On the short drive we did with Suzuki, we were able to get pretty good fuel efficiency, and we can't wait to see just how far we can push this car on our next Behind the Wheel.

Our first family car. Glad to be the first owner of Suzuki XL7 Hybrid here in Nueva Ecija. 1month na siya ngayon & wala akong masabi. Sulit na sulit. Napakapogi & tipid sa gas. Dami nagagandahan, tinginin talaga sa kalsada tapos ang luwag & malakas humatak. Hindi mo ramdam na underpowered. Inabangan talaga namin paglabas netong hybrid. Sulit na sulit 💪

To clarify things: "The Department of Energy classifies a "Hybrid Electric Vehicle" as being powered by both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and a rechargeable energy source, a.k.a. a battery and an electric motor, upon which both powerplants SHOULD propel the vehicle independently." Meaning it should be able to drive the vehicle using electric power alone in full EV mode, no matter the range the battery can provide. This should eliminate the "loopholes" that some manufacturers try to cheat on, like the Okavango, the Ertiga and this XL7 among others, and prevent cheeky motorists slapping "Hybrid" badges on their ICE cars to confuse authorities.

In contrast, take the new Xpander HEV as an example since both are competing in the MPV category. Whereas the ISG in the Suzuki's only deliver 1.77 kW (about 2.3 hp) and only "assists" the gas engine, the Xpander HEV's hybrid system has a full-fledged electric motor which, surprisingly delivers more horsepower than its 1.6 L gas engine: 85 kW (114 hp) and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) to be exact versus 70kW (94 hp) and 134 Nm (98.8 lb-ft) respectively, making it a full hybrid vehicle. That's more than enough to not only qualify it under DOE's requirements, but depending on the level of charge, it can drive itself on full EV mode unlike the former vehicles mentioned.

So, before you decide to buy a hybrid and benefit on the "Number Coding Exemption", make sure the vehicle is eligible first and consult DOE's list of qualified vehicles.

Good Day po is Suzuki XL7 is it a mild hybrid?

[melvinrimorin]

If you want maximum fuel efficiency, get the Ertiga Hybrid. If you want maximum savings, get the Ertiga Hybrid GL (not the GLX or XL7). You will lose some of the features but it more than makes up for it in terms of fuel efficiency and monthly savings on your payment. And just having a simple, reliable car.

If you want a bit more with all the bells and whistles, then get the Ertiga GLX or XL7. Can't go wrong with any of these. Mind you, space inside is EXACTLY the same on these three. Just a matter of preference sa looks na lang.

got this march 25, 2024 very nice two tone color. The front grille is samurai inspired.

[emanvytiaco]

I just brought the same color variant here in Baguio, coming from Cainta. Full tank in Cainta, then arrived at Baguio covering 267km with more than 50% fuel left.

Just a reminder if you're buying this expecting to be exempted from coding, it is NOT INCLUDED in the list published by DOE.

Magkano po dwnpayment sir?also monthly?

[jlbenedictgutierrez]

How is the xl7 vs the king stargazer x?

[fauzanardhi]

in indonesia, we dont get the audio head with Android auto/apple carplay capability, it is nice to see XL7 with that feature.

[scrumartist]

whats new in the 2024 version: 
minor facelift + mild hybrid @ 1.2m

I think its better than the competition
but shouldn't be called a hybrid with only that much power from the e-motor (barely noticeable)
also the added complexity on the maintenance side is kinda a disadvantage

[fiiishinggaming]

Hello! Since this is an impression pa of the XL7, I hope on your actual review eh ma discuss nyo kung effective ba talaga na exempted to sa coding since mild hybrid lang to like the new Ertiga. We need clarifications about this and hopefully we can hear it from you po. Thanks and more power! ❤️

2024 brv with honda sensing or new xl7?

[yatishchouhan]

[heinzpua]

the transition in 2:32 is *chef's kiss*

[BingeYoutube]

Caco looks like he has been hitting the gym hard Or is it just the shirt? Anyway, I thought this car is going to be expensive since Caco didn't mention it right away. I can't wait for the extensive review!

[lostwanderingdrifter]

How’s Jack btw? I hope he’s recovering alright.

[dexteradr]

We called several Suzuki dealerships to ask for service estimate, they said they don’t provide estimates for insurance claims. How do we claim for insurance then?

[renzoalmighty]

Ah yes nice grille and paint. Legit Xpander cross competitor

[NanetteHanda]

Life span of hybrid battery and how much?
