The XL 7, the family SUV from the leading Japanese automobile maker Suzuki, is witnessing a heavy demand from consumers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who are looking for a vehicle that offers the highest levels of safety and luxury.

 

Suzuki Saudi, part of the Bamarouf Group, has also announced its plans to further increase its market share in the sports and family car segment by introducing attractive promotions and customer-friendly payment schemes.

Sheikh Omar Bamarouf, General Manager, Suzuki Saudi Arabia, said, “The XL 7 is one of the premier offerings from the Suzuki portfolio, as it presents a sophisticated four wheel option with the very best of luxury and safety. Also, the car is ideally suited for all kinds of terrain and all weather conditions, including extreme heat. The sturdy body and elegant design of the XL 7 has been a major factor for the popularity of this SUV in the Saudi markets.”

The XL 7 has been designed to offer passengers enhanced comfort and safety. The SUV has a ladder box frame construction, that is, body on frame. Not only does this feature make it significantly stronger, but is also quite heavier than other SUVs in this segment. The integrated front and rear crumple zones with high-tensile steel pillars in the XL 7 significantly help in reducing the impact during crashes. The vehicle also comes with dual full-size crash bags for driver and front passenger; anti-lock brakes with electronic brake pressure distribution and a host of luxury features such as power windows, locks and external mirrors; air-conditioning with additional ducting and separate controls for the rear occupants, which is another unique feature. Moreover, the XL 7 is considered the only vehicle in its category to come with a third row of seats.

Another key feature of the XL 7 is that its engine produces very little noise while running. The ABS breaking system also ensures that the vehicle does not skid even in wet road conditions.

“The XL 7 perfectly fits into our strategy to provide our clients with safe and luxurious family cars. The customer-friendly payment and installment options also ensure that this vehicle is affordable by all market segments in Saudi Arabia. The unique features and overall performance of the XL 7 will continue to drive sales in this market, as we look to further consolidate our market position,” concluded Bamarouf.
