A basic model with three seats and two-wheel drive is $21,099. Fully dressed, the XL-7 tops out around $27,000. Its Grand Vitara XL-7, an extra long version of the Grand Vitara, can carry seven occupants with a third row of seats standard on virtually every model. There are some less-costly alternatives, though, including one from Suzuki, the Japanese maker of inexpensive cars and small S.U.V.'s. Often, though, the third rows come as part of a luxury package with big engines and sticker prices approaching $40,000 or more. As a result, third-row seats have become one of the most popular features in midrange S.U.V.'s, even if there is barely enough room to accommodate them. But five seats, which was how midsize S.U.V.'s like the Ford Explorer started out, couldn't measure up to the seven in a minivan or even more in a big utility like a Chevrolet Suburban. The same is true for seating capacity in the sport utility market.įor a while now, sport utilities have gained on minivans as the preferred vehicles for car pooling and child shuttling. IN gambling and in religion, the number 7 has almost mystical qualities.
