| Review Summary |
The 2008 Suzuki XL7 Limited succeeds in its mission as a well-equipped crossover with a segment-leading price tag. Its fuel economy leaves something to be desired, but its tech offerings are impressive for a sub-$30K car. |
The 2007 Suzuki XL7 is functional but boring, with lots of features that don't really distinguish it from other cars. Its tech offerings are adequate for a modern car, with a couple of superior components. |
In too many ways, the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara is average, though it feels solid and will get you from point A to point B in good shape. As a tech car, it gets outstripped by the competition. |
The 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L's small size and Civic-like handling make it a great choice for city dwellers who occasionally need to haul things--or people. While the cabin tech is impressive, a few more features, such as Bluetooth or iPod connectivity, would make it a home run. |
The new suite of cabin tech in the 2010 Lexus RX 350 catches this luxury SUV up with current car tech leaders, but the power train, while practical, doesn't take advantage of the latest efficiency technologies. |
