I don't think so. They excel at small cars and I personally love the brand but they cannot be considered above average when it comes to reliability. I've had both their J20A and J20B engine and both burn through oil like an oil lamp and will need regular top ups. In addition, this car reviewed is way underpowered for a 7 seater. That's probably the same engine as the Jimny which is already considered underpowered despite its small size. In many circumstances, power equals safety and I wouldn't be confident I can drive my family away from danger in that thing. Also, Damn that's ugly. It's like a Subaru Outback, VW Tiguan, Honda CR-V, Honda HR-V and a Suzuki minivan had one baby. They really need the Giorgetto design language back. The SX4 was the perfect small car.
This guy raises the bar for car reviews. Maybe too high, no one else comes close. That high pitched voice is surprisingly fun to listen to. It complements his style.
Sir Caco, you're the king of direct to the point reviews injected with great humor. You make me pay attention to cars I would otherwise overlook! Keep it up! 😀
Great review Caco! Just bought mine and Im already waiting for its release. It sure is not the fastest car but it is one of the most fuel efficient and comfortable ones. You don't need to be the fastest car on a heavy traffic anyways.
@@James-gp7yp it's actually part leather and part fabric, the reason behind this design is to adapt in a tropical country so that when exposed to sunlight it wouldn't absorb too much heat and be really uncomfortable when being seated. And you've got to remember the price of this unit. How else would it cost less if it used premium accessories?
@@bahagharidon1940 tama po kayo. Sabi nga ni Caco, you can never really argue with a fuel efficient engine kahit anong bilis lang ang kaya nito. It's practical.
@@Rogue_User When I say Quality, it's not the price, it's the manufacturer. Yeah, low price means less amenities and we should change our mindset when it comes to buying a car. Our priority is the gas consumption, unless you don't care about the oil price hike.
XL7's headroom and legroom for 2nd row is ample but shoulder room might be a problem for 3 adults as what Mr. Caco said and presented. The Xpander headroom, legroom and shoulder room for 2nd row is ample and very comfortable for 3 adults and could fit even for 4 adults. Another thing is for XL7's 3rd row and 2nd when folded is not flat unlike Xpander when folded is flat so Xpander has also more cargo space.
There was a time that Suzuki was launching the "right cars at the wrong time," "wrong cars at the right time" and the "wrong cars at the wrong time." the Vitara XL7, SX4 Crossover, SX4 Sedan and the Kizashi. They have improved since then..
Surprised to see this. They stopped selling Suzuki XL-7s some years ago in N. America. I still have my 2001 Suzuki XL-7 limited in pearl white and it still looks like new (I always kept my vehicles clean). Did a suspension lift and body lift (wouldn't do that again..hehe) Driving just to work, store, etc, nothing really serious. Since tele/working from home during pandemic, and would travel from Washington, DC to right outside DC to Virginia, my milage is staying under 95K+ believe it or not. I mean, now past few years, mainly undercarriage stuff that need fix, attention of course due to bumps, corrosion from snow salt, ect and few other things, but my truck can still "GO!" Meaning fast, for a V6. And there's no stuttering, fluttering, stalling, smoke from exhaust. But I really took good care of it; regular oil changes and such.
I suggested that my aunt buy this one for their first car, they were eyeing for the xpander first..Suzuki brought them after a week, sure looker and roomy..
@@titamarvs hello ma'am..so far so good as she says..we live in Aurora province and some roads are still unpaved and the XL7 is just the right vehicle for the task,they even took it light offroading and river crossing..my aunt said ride is smooth but engine noise creeps in the cabin a bit..for now its just within the province,aurora is still strict on its people going in and out of the province because of covid..my mom wants it too but we ended up with a toyota rush..
You don't actually run out of words...very well command over vocabulary which I liked the most in this video plus you are fun and entertaining while describing the details. I enjoyed thoroughly and Ur style made me watch the entire content. Very well .👏👌👍
Remember that Suzuki uses the K15B engine on almost all their cars, from Jimny, Ertiga, XL7, the larger multicab, and their Ciaz (not the one sold here). That means that engine is reliable AF. Not to mention the custom 200hp turbo upgrade that is available on Jimny that would fit on all k15b engine on their line up.
red_ashcroft no it doesn’t, sharing engine between models is for cost and parts purposes Reliability would be having that engine surviving 10 years with proper maintenance
sana sinagad na ng SUZUKI PH yung specs ng XL7, like the Indonesian XL7 Alpha variant. anyways, for its price, it does have more value than the Rush, Xpander and Xpander Cross.
Question: I have 2 kids and a Disabled husband. We need to move back to Cavite City by January of 2021. We will be coming from Davao City and will bring some of our items. I got here simply because we are looking into purchasing a car that I can manage to drive for a very long trip (Davao-Manila). So I have watched 3 videos of AutoDeal already for Cars like Xpander, Seltos and Suzuki XL7. My question is which among this 3 will help me drive safely for a long trip and comfortably for my kids and husband?
Definitely Suzuki XL7. Expander sirain ang fuel pump nya. Baka tumirik at masiraan ka pa sa daan. Tapos yung interior nya is too 'plasticky'. Mas elegant interior ng XL7. It's a looker, unlike Xpander na medyo nakakasawa na tingnan, lalo na yung silver color.
Mitsubishi X-pender MUV Petrole variant won' t get any response in India. But if Diesel variant is launched between Rs 1 to.5 million ON ROAD price, then ,it will surely rule the Urban market of MUVs. Right and sensible or what we can say market penetrating pricing will help Mitsubishi to grip in Indian market of passenger cars.
Was just curious, what happened to the Vitara? Did they really lessen it's importation because the China brands got the majority of its sales in its segment?
I visited the Santa Rosa dealership two weeks ago and the agent said they already stop/discontinued to import the Vitara to make way for this XL7. Quite a bit disappointed to be honest since I'm leaning towards the Vitara, now my only option is the second-hand market.
@@christianjayecastillo8939 wow. To think the Vitara launched late 2017 and now it's gone... Can't imagine what it's like to be in the shoes of an owner knowing that the XL7 shares its parts with the Ertiga and not the one it replaces
Sir jack mas mabilis pa po kayong mag salita keysa internet namin but still you're my idol. An articulate speaker and fun to listen. Every time i watch your car reviews, it made me convince to buy all those cars you've talked about. hehehe.
Hello sir caco!!!! Can you please do a suzuki 2020 vitara vs xl7 review ? I really wanna hear your opinion and i just don’t know which one to get .......
Is Philippines getting the new bronco from ford? When I go back there I’d like to know if it’s easily obtainable and not something I’d have to import like the Jeep Wrangler
It is a pity this car does not have cruise control. The ertiga hybrid glx has one. In my opinion the ertiga looks more beautiful if you choose the glx version. The xl7 looks more sportive. We did not decide yet which one we will choose. I like to test drive both. The ertiga test drive I did already. A very nice car. Waiting for a test drive in the xl7.
Toyota Rush, Mitsubishi Expander, and Honda BR-V has now a new rival. Sounds interesting that it make sense Car Manufacturers targeted entry level car owners to level up their choices from the more typical 1st car which is a sedan.
Hey, Jack. Why is my voice so squeaky?
Caco Tirona we'll fix it in post 🔨
We can fix your testosterone levels in post.
Shut up, Earl.
Hahhahhaaha kyot!
Earl Lee hahaha. Puberty hits.
I've never thought I'd be this entertained by a car review in my life.
Ikr 😂😂😂. If you find this funny Im sure you'd find TopGear (Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May) entertaining as well 😊.
Same bro
Same thoughts hahahha
Yup this guy IS funny! Original and unique.
I can relate
Suzuki is one of the underated car brand. And one of the most reliable brand
For real 👍
Yup, they're often criticized for their low hp compared to others. But I'd agree with their reliability :-)
I don't think so. They excel at small cars and I personally love the brand but they cannot be considered above average when it comes to reliability. I've had both their J20A and J20B engine and both burn through oil like an oil lamp and will need regular top ups.

1 2 3 Four Five true, questionable build quality especially sa Vitara models
@@123fourfive5 Drive your family away from danger? Wtf are you talking about?
I just love this guy's attitude! Parang madaling maging kaibigan kapag kausap mo ng personal.
I must say, among all the locally available 7-seaters in the market today, the XL7 has the most handsome no-nonsense fascia you can get.
the rear end reminds me of Volvo SUVs
gc pz yup they do. Also I own an XL6 ( a 6 seater XL7 sold in india)
That is exactly my thought! XL7 is pretty simple and classic.
classy

Definitely one of the best car reviewers I have ever heard. Informative, funny and to the point. Keep up the great work!
Great review Caco! Just bought mine and Im already waiting for its release. It sure is not the fastest car but it is one of the most fuel efficient and comfortable ones. You don't need to be the fastest car on a heavy traffic anyways.
Not comfortable slow, not leather seat , cheap interior.

I have a 2004 XL7 love it. Just put new pads on front today and oil change. Mine is a 2.7 v6 automatic.
Thank you kako for reviewing ❤ i love the ciaz and Xl7
This guy is the mvp of reviewing cars... very entertaining....

We bought this Car because of this review from Caco. Most entertaining auto review on YT
Kamusta po kotse ngayon? Planning to buy XL7 Hybrid
Do a 4-way comparison please:
Suzuki XL7
Toyota Rush
Mitsubishi Xpander Cross
Honda BR-V
Yesss please
Kahit ito lang sana lord para sa pamilya 🙏
Rooting for you sir!
Best Car Reviewer in the PH.
Sawakas na review nadin yun pinag dadasal kong sasakyan maraming salamat po sir caco😊💖
The best car reviewer. In the world (for me)
Suzuki is, slowly but surely, penetrating the market.
There was a time that Suzuki was launching the "right cars at the wrong time," "wrong cars at the right time" and the "wrong cars at the wrong time." the Vitara XL7, SX4 Crossover, SX4 Sedan and the Kizashi. They have improved since then..
BEST CAR REVIEWER anywhere!
is it the direct point for every car review that you do or is it your voice and humor? lahat! worth watching

@@kalambreone3565 Thanks. Yeah.. I know. :))

U talk crazy, luv ur review...luv from india, state of arunachal pradesh, ziro
Hi Good Reviews i just want to ask which is better? XL7? Rush? Or Xpander tnx all are 1.5 Engine. Which one is not underpowered?
You don't actually run out of words...very well command over vocabulary which I liked the most in this video plus you are fun and entertaining while describing the details. I enjoyed thoroughly and Ur style made me watch the entire content. Very well .👏👌👍
Oh my gosh! Its here! Caco, you're the best! XL7 😍😍😍
Helo
This is why James May likes the Suzuki brand.
This channel should grow more and more
This is by far the most entertaining caco review hahhaa!
He finally did it. The master finally did it
I love watching your videos, sir. You deserved more subscribers.

yay! finally! thanks autodeal da best!
4:13 Lisa Loeb's one and only hit: STAY
Savage 😂
that's pretty cool, waiting for it to launch in India, does it come with AWD?
Thanks, Caco. You just convinced me our next family car.
FINALLY! The review i've bee waiting for to decide which car i will buy. Thanks Autodeal!
Is the XL7 still a worth car buying in January 2023? considering the price increase (Now it is 1.2m), and the new comers like the all new BR-V?
Question:
I have 2 kids and a Disabled husband. We need to move back to Cavite City by January of 2021. We will be coming from Davao City and will bring some of our items.

Finally! A PH review for the XL7. ❤
He is really the best car reviewer of all time!
When I test the 3rd row, the Ertiga was the most where my tummy was relaxed, almost most SUVs ipit ang tiyan ko.
3rd row seats are more comfortable in an MPV 7-seater vehicles. All SUV's doesn't have that comfortability.
Wow. Looks like its inspired by Volvo. Didnt expect such a good design by Suzuki.l
Mitsubishi X-pender MUV
Petrole variant won' t get any response in India. But if Diesel variant is launched between Rs 1 to.5 million ON ROAD price, then ,it will surely rule the Urban market of MUVs.

How is the build quality?? In india Suzuki car’s build quality has deteriorated considerably in last few years.
Was just curious, what happened to the Vitara? Did they really lessen it's importation because the China brands got the majority of its sales in its segment?
You mean, crossover segment?? Seriously?

U r 1 heck of a reviewer. I like ur free-spirited style. Just loved it. Keep it up...👍
Egarly many customers waiting 🤗🤗🤗
Geely Coolray or XL7? Advise please? Thank you in advance.
“Bigger than Lisa Loeb’s one and only hit”
Hahahahaha. 😂

That "bigger than Lisa Loeb's one and only hit" had me weak in the knees. Bruh, why you gotta do Lisa like that? 😂
akala ko ako lng 👍😂
Nice. Mukhang mas maluwag ang third row seats kompara sa midsize suv like fortuner, terra and montero.
Please include NIGHT MODE view similar to your COMPAROs session.
Mitsubishi Xpander Cross when?
Nice review as always Sir caco and AD team!
Is Philippines getting the new bronco from ford?
When I go back there I’d like to know if it’s easily obtainable and not something I’d have to import like the Jeep Wrangler
Hi sir Caco, in your opinion, which is better, suzuki XL7 or okavango comfort?
Very informative and very entertaining..like your sense of humor Sir Caco...keep safe always.God bless...thank you for sharing
I like your voice.. and it was a great review also... Earned a sub from India
YAAAY NEW VIDEO!
Really love auto deal review!!! really entertaining!!!!!!!!!!
When will it be launched in India
Hello, was hoping to ask, Geely coolray VS Suzuki XL7. What's your take? - I am a car buyer watching all your videos :D
It is a pity this car does not have cruise control. The ertiga hybrid glx has one. In my opinion the ertiga looks more beautiful if you choose the glx version. The xl7 looks more sportive. We did not decide yet which one we will choose. I like to test drive both. The ertiga test drive I did already. A very nice car. Waiting for a test drive in the xl7.
Great! Amazing review as always!
Judt wondering if you have reviewed the new 2020 montero. Thanks.
Isn't this to replace the Suzuki Vitara XL7 back in 2005?
Are we getting an AutoDeal Comparo 2.0?
You, by yourself explaining the design, are already never dull. Then you added the "Earl" jokes! 😂 So entertaining!
Finally! 💓💓💓
Best comedian of the year CACO. My problem disappear everytime I watch his reviews.😂
Hill hold control same with the Jimny?
When will you do the new Jimny?
Where is the Montero sport behind the wheel
Great review, very informative. Still waiting on your review of the Nissan Juke, hoping!
Is this an upgrade version of suzuki ertiga?
In your opinion, honda brv or suzuki xl7?
Xl7. Value for money, great gas mileage and it is not cvt transmission.
Toyota Rush, Mitsubishi Expander, and Honda BR-V has now a new rival. Sounds interesting that it make sense Car Manufacturers targeted entry level car owners to level up their choices from the more typical 1st car which is a sedan.
I love how this channel has humor
Hi Caco! Saw you the other day in Megamall. Stay safe!
Im really waiting for your review on XL7 Finally....Thank You.
Cant wait for tomorrow to come faster to finally meet this one. A bit excited.. 😍
Same here
Because of these car reviews I felt like I have friends named Caco, Jack and Eeeaaarl 😂
Interested to know its NCAP safety rating though as the ertiga didn't do so well.
