Just got this car today and I love it! This may seem underpowered and has mediocre specs but when you finally drive it, this car offers more than what's on paper and checks all the boxes on my needs. Wala ring lag compared to CVT.
Speed sensing door locks should be mandatory for new cars in this day and age. I have an Xpander GLS and one of the gripes I have is that Mitsubishi appears to have deliberately disabled it even though it says in the manual that it should have been enabled. Worse, the dealerships won't enable it for free and owners need to resort to ETACS programming to switch it on. The worst part? Warranty will be voided if you do that.
Same nitpick on our 2024 model. Tho for less than 1.1M net price when we got the unit, can't really complain with the 100+k discount. I'm very much happy that it comes with telescopic steering, EPB with APB & BAH, Cruise Control and the best ground clearance for that price.
I'd rather have less electronics in my car. It's just a 1st world problem anyway. As a driver, it's your responsibility to check if the doors are locked before driving off. It's a simple press of the lock button (or a simple lock of the driver side door - depending on vehicle) on the driver's side which takes half a second. It's the same responsibility to ask your passengers to wear their seatbelt before driving off. You can do both actions at the same time and it takes a few seconds to deal with it.
@@pkpnyt4711I would've agreed if it was the electronic parking brake (which, ironically, the new Xpanders now have, for something that you're referring to as having "less" electronics), but a simple speed-sensing door lock is such a simple mechanism that doesn't require that much sensitive components, and will surely NOT heavily affect the vehicle's operation negatively when it is not working properly or damaged. Having automatically-locking doors when you begin driving just makes it so that you are more focused towards driving, and not have to worry about forgetting to lock your doors. That electronic parking brake is surely more costly and painful when it's damaged than a speed-sensing door lock mechanism.
@@troy5568 Any electronics including parking breaks (even the stupid radio touch screens - not ergonomic and harder to manipulate when changing something while driving) are just issues waiting to happen. That's why I said I'd rather have less electronics in my first sentence. What you call simple electronic mechanism isn't as simple as you think it is. It's connected to one of the black boxes in your vehicle and is prone to have electrical problems. Even a simple reset for that thing is such a hassle. Every car manufacturer forum I've been to will have a discussion on how to reset it. The solution is typically (if you have no issue with your solenoid or any mechanism) you have to discharge and charge the system by removing your car battery for a 15 minutes to an hour - and that doesn't work 100% of the time - there are people saying it'll be there every few months with the same issues and they do the reset and it works fine for a few months. So , no thanks on having to worry about more issues down the line. Agree to disagree it is and that's fine, but electronics in cars is getting out of hand and it's basically done so you bring your car in for repairs or buy a new one (planned obsolescence).
Suzuki XL7 is a premium car with a cheap price. I was drivingSuzuki APV Before and its nice. 2008 model pero sobrang tahimik ng makina walang kalampag.
IIRC, the ruling is that for a hybrid to be exempted from the number coding, is that the electric motors should be able to propel the vehicle by itself. Which would mean mild hybrids are not exempted from the number coding.
@@elmight that’s how it is in writing. But not in practice. I have seen a few green licence plated “hybrid” Ertigas this year. I won’t be surprised if some XL7 owners would do the same.

I love XL7 hybrid alpha,,, this Suzuki models also one of most family choice here in Indonesia. In terms of price and mid seat legroom.. that was so so good.anw great review!!! 👏
I think electric hybrids are useless in the Philippines specially if you have a stop start system (you will end up turning it off). Almost all start stop systems are useless in traffic because it just ends up depleting your battery faster (as in less than a year or each year you end up changing batteries if you use start stop). This is an issue with all cars with start stop. Another issue is the cost when the battery or motor for the hybrid dies. If you don't replace it you will leave the function of the hybrid off, if the car has the option to do this. If not, you will need to find a way to disable it without voiding your warranty. I'd rather just buy a full gas engine, All you worry about is oil change every 6 months and you will run that car for at least 10 years. I swear I will be the last person on earth to buy a hybrid or an electric car. EDIT: Love the poste test!
Well this one has additional starter engine so instead of standard start stop, this one can reduce the battery load doing start stop. That's the main selling point. Buying this and disables it just defeat the whole purpose.
Was quite expecting more for its fuel efficiency, given I can do 19+km/l on the highway with a 2024 Xpander GLS with 6 pax on board and some luggage. And yeah, you can still be fuel efficient with a 4AT as what I always get. The XL7 is almost of a great value if only it has telescopic steering, too and a bigger armrest... or maybe just got a bit spoiled with the Xpander.
Surprised with their review on fuel economy. Can do more than their review, even when loaded. We got that XL7 "mild" hybrid to get 20kpL with 7 on the highway. Did a trip from Antipolo to La Union and then back, doing 15kpL combined. Another trip to Baguio, Benguet from Antipolo with just the a quarter of the tank used, including heavy traffic getting out of Manila. Yes, you can do good fuel economy with just 4speed.
On your way home to the Makati office (most likely after this shoot), we overtook each other at the Skyway and I am driving an XL7 too (not hybrid though). Unluckily, I was not at par with your driving so we didn't get the chance to snap a photo.
Truly. Caco is one if not the best car reviewer. Another well done review. Honest to goodness review only CT can give. It made me buy this car in the future
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?
weird.. I thought it would be much fuel saver than the older version which is not hybrid. but, in the older version it is 9-15km/L city and 20km/L highway compared to the newer version which only produce 10.5km/L city and 17.6km/L highway. weird in a sense that it is labelled as Hybrid?
I had suzuki xl7 but not a fan of hybrid. Suzuki got slow progress on innovation and feautures but I like mine since it’s fuel economy and best picked from its mpv competition like rush and expander
I chose it mainly for fuel economy. But still I'm happy with its nice exterior looks. Ample space for passengers. Fuel efficiency is not yet tested though. It's only a week old and haven't got or/ Cr yet. Hope it's truly efficient ..

Ah at least there's one reviewer with average fuel consumption that mirrors mine. But no, turning off that start stop engine defeats the whole purpose of it being mild hybrid unfortunately. You're paying for ISG that is able to reduce battery load requirement for start stop engine.
@@lucky889s9 but that's why it comes equipped with Cruise Control too. and i have no complaint on that part, plenty sufficient for keeping the vehicle cruising at 100kph. if one likes to overspeed then coasting with XL7 that would be different issue entirely, and definitely not recommended with any type of hybrids.
@@lucky889s9 unless you press the brake pedal, no. It's like engine braking when it regenerates. Now from my experience, with this xl7 you have two phase of speed. First phase is 0-42kph, second one is above it. Whenever you're driving in the town and you know it's not fast, keep the speed under 40 and you will not have regenerative brake working, here you can simply do coasting like non hybrid. But if you can go much faster, it is recommended not to do coasting and use cruise control whenever you're able to use it, only coast if you know your battery is low and need charging. But if not, just keep the speed constant by cruise control.
One big negative for me is the maintenance and repair costs since you'll be forced to bring the XL7 to a casa for maintenance and repair whenever you need one because of its "hybrid" system unless you want talyer to experiment with your car
haha no. that's a mild hybrid it's super simple. ISG lang yan which is basically an "alternator" that could also start the car. that's the only thing that's different when you pop open the hood. the rest is the same k15b engine same on my jimny which is super quiet on idle
I got an Xpander and if given a chance to buy a car again, it will be XL7 just because it's cheap for HYBRID car, second is it being a HYBrid car that saves fuel so much.
Veloz V is a great choice. It has toyota safety sense and has 5 drive modes. Veloz V has so much to offer at its price point. Only the ground clearance is the con for me, but it can easily lift by upgrading tires or suspensions.
@@vin4523Nah. Ang sikip ni Veloz lalo na sa 3rd row seat. Tapos parang karo talaga yung design. Mababa pa ground clearance. Sa mga MPV ngayon Stargazer X pinaka Ok pero pinili padin namin bilin XL7 Hybrid.

@@lucky889s9 haha what are you talking about? you can't "tune up" a cvt LOL. jatco cvts did have a lot of failures but honda/toyota CVTs are quite reliable when you don't abuse them
been waiting on this review . Firstly Suzuki Philippines makes some of the worst product spec choices,why does this have the 12v instead of the 48v that can keep the ac on when active,why are they using an aftermarket infotainment system when the one Suzuki provides globally for this gives wireless android auto? Despite that its a good product overall product that has the most space in the third row for adults and the bottle holders can take a 2l bottle which is way more than the competition and for a family car stuff like that matters.For the speed sensing door locks,there are a plethora of aftermarket plug and play odbs you can get. For persons comparing this to the BRV just because one of the varients matches up price wise to this,youre getting way less in that varient compared to this,you dont even get cruise control for crying out loud. Yeah you get more power and torque which I suppose will make you feel good when you beat a Vios in that coveted stoplight drag race,in your family MPV.
Umhmmm? 🤔 So it just shows the Suzuki now has two hybrid models And that's the Ertiga,.And this the Xl7! While other car brands has loads of it just like byd (Build-Your-Dreams) And about Toyota! Has also two hybrid models And that's the Toyota Cross Hybrid and the Innova zenix hybrid So? I guess that tie's the Game too,. Between Suzuki and Toyota Since they have two hybrid models each While again! Byd has plenty 😉
I see that 4speed as also a drawback. Not because I'll race it, I mean, it ain't meant for that. But because I'm after a greater fuel economy. 17km/L on the highway is so-so. I believe it can do a lot better with another gear. I mean, it's already 2024 and we're still getting a 4speed? Sounds a lil' "weird" to me.
when i need fuel economy i use my city hatchback CVT, 30km/L at 75kph. but when i need to carry a load on a trailer i use my jimny jb74 w/ 4spd transmission. if you're going to carry seven people on the XL7 going up baguio then 4spd is better, coz CVTs are very fragile
@@judecarlomanaog6633 4spd a/t are heavy duty, in fact the XL7 is rated to tow 1ton in south africa. when you buy a CVT car it'll say in the manual that towing is prohibited. CVT hindi pwede pang heavy duty, also won't last as long as a 4spd a/t, pero matipid sa gas ang cvt.
@@rondg2 depends on the cvt, subarus can tow 1.8T or more with cvt coolers. And I can promise you it would go up baguio no problem 😂. I can also promise you it would follow your jimny anywhere except on technical rock terrain, but with better fuel economy
4 speed automatic. Bat di nalang cvt or yubg automated manual niya? I feel like ang ancient na ng 4 speed automatic kasi. Also, putting a hybrid badge pero di naman siya maeexempt sa coding is so sly haha so baka maraming mauto sa marketing.
OK so in short Suzuki XL7/Ertiga are fake hybrids, false advertisements. Mother Earth drives a Toyota Crown Hybrid in Japan and she thinks these Suzuki's are the same and wants to buy these here when they are clearly not and are very far from what she is used to driving, for example the Toyota's Hybrid's does propel and run the car when it has charge and is below 40/50kmph = large savings on fuel (her Honda Step WGN Hybrid 2023 in Japan also works the same as Toyota's Hybrid), these Suzuki's cannot do such hence worse efficiency even compared to non Hybrids such as the Avanza, Rush, Xpander, BRV etc. We badly need that Nissan Serena E-Power on the Philippine market, Honda refuses to import any of its Hybrid cars here in PH.
@@lucky889s9 agree on the interior, Honda had to reduce the quality to lessen the price . But believe me the engine and its ride is the best in its class

it's 2024. When are we getting 4k resolution on your videos? We're not in 2012 anymore, 1080p just looks awful on my monitor.
N-speed AT still better than CVT. Rubber band effect makes me dizzy inside a CVT.
Wla pa din spoiler...
I'm more concern on the safety features. How many airbags this MPV have?
2 airbags w/ side impact door beams
I got an Xpander and if given a chance to buy a car again, it will be XL7 just because it's cheap for HYBRID car, second is it being a HYBrid car that saves fuel so much.
XL7 is better choice than avanza or even veloz
Veloz V is a great choice. It has toyota safety sense and has 5 drive modes. Veloz V has so much to offer at its price point. Only the ground clearance is the con for me, but it can easily lift by upgrading tires or suspensions.
@@vin4523Nah. Ang sikip ni Veloz lalo na sa 3rd row seat. Tapos parang karo talaga yung design. Mababa pa ground clearance. Sa mga MPV ngayon Stargazer X pinaka Ok pero pinili padin namin bilin XL7 Hybrid.
@@darking-rayleigh yung 3rd row seat sa segment ng Veloz ay pangdalawahan lang tlga pero kaya pa din kahit gawing tatlo. Ang karo may box na carrier sa likod, paano naging karo ang Veloz? Hahahaha nakabased ang design ng veloz sa innova. Okay sana yung Stargazer kaso yung design parang based sa itlog. Haha
Boss, parang ertiga lang ito eh 😅
Underrated.😁
70km on a 1.8 liter? 9:44 wow
4 speed automatic transmission? hell yeah
For me? Mas gusto ko pa 4speed automatic. Easy to maintain unlike CVT.
@@johnaudrybasinang6725 what are you talking about? same lang ang maintenance ng a/t and cvt. you drain, you fill. atf and cvtf, respectively
@@rondg2it needs big service and tune up before 20k km. Go check transmission shop, littered with blown CVTs
@@lucky889s9 haha what are you talking about? you can't "tune up" a cvt LOL. jatco cvts did have a lot of failures but honda/toyota CVTs are quite reliable when you don't abuse them
Bat parang ang nipis nya? Mas mukha pang malapad yung xpander haha
been waiting on this review . Firstly Suzuki Philippines makes some of the worst product spec choices,why does this have the 12v instead of the 48v that can keep the ac on when active,why are they using an aftermarket infotainment system when the one Suzuki provides globally for this gives wireless android auto? Despite that its a good product overall product that has the most space in the third row for adults and the bottle holders can take a 2l bottle which is way more than the competition and for a family car stuff like that matters.For the speed sensing door locks,there are a plethora of aftermarket plug and play odbs you can get. For persons comparing this to the BRV just because one of the varients matches up price wise to this,youre getting way less in that varient compared to this,you dont even get cruise control for crying out loud. Yeah you get more power and torque which I suppose will make you feel good when you beat a Vios in that coveted stoplight drag race,in your family MPV.
Cabin looks dated.
No more onitsuka? What happen
Rainy weather 😅 i guess
So this is just an XL6 with Ertiga seats.
Good looking cuv .
I find it hard to believe that my 6yo CRV is way more fuel efficient than this hybrid.
xpander hybrid has 1.6
Our 2018 Corolla Altis got speed sensing door lock 🤭
My 1990 Toyota Townace has a speed sensing door lock 😂😂😂
a 2013 base model Hyundai Accent has one.
Meh kind of car. At this price point, id rather go with the Honda BRV
enlighten us?
TOTL, maybe.
Hard pass for those OP V & S variants.
@@SUUL-73 Much more Fuel Effecient, Higher Tourque, Honda Sensing and Six Airbags.
@@arutaarmoryou dont get those things at what this is selling for,you dont even get cruise control.
Honda fanboys hahaha
hellooooo 31 mins since upload 😅
if you think xpander is ugly af (which it is) then this car is for you. parehong 4spd a/t
Where's Jack?
Umhmmm? 🤔
So it just shows the Suzuki now has two hybrid models
And that's the Ertiga,.And this the Xl7! While other car brands has loads of it just like byd (Build-Your-Dreams)
And about Toyota! Has also two hybrid models
And that's the Toyota Cross Hybrid and the Innova zenix hybrid
So? I guess that tie's the Game too,. Between Suzuki and Toyota
Since they have two hybrid models each
While again! Byd has plenty 😉
Hybrid badged pero hindi excempted sa coding
I see that 4speed as also a drawback. Not because I'll race it, I mean, it ain't meant for that. But because I'm after a greater fuel economy.
17km/L on the highway is so-so. I believe it can do a lot better with another gear.
I mean, it's already 2024 and we're still getting a 4speed? Sounds a lil' "weird" to me.
when i need fuel economy i use my city hatchback CVT, 30km/L at 75kph. but when i need to carry a load on a trailer i use my jimny jb74 w/ 4spd transmission. if you're going to carry seven people on the XL7 going up baguio then 4spd is better, coz CVTs are very fragile
@@rondg2can you expound more on the pros of 4spd and CVTs are fragile?
@@judecarlomanaog6633 4spd a/t are heavy duty, in fact the XL7 is rated to tow 1ton in south africa. when you buy a CVT car it'll say in the manual that towing is prohibited. CVT hindi pwede pang heavy duty, also won't last as long as a 4spd a/t, pero matipid sa gas ang cvt.
@@rondg2 depends on the cvt, subarus can tow 1.8T or more with cvt coolers. And I can promise you it would go up baguio no problem 😂. I can also promise you it would follow your jimny anywhere except on technical rock terrain, but with better fuel economy
Kakabili lang XL7 Hybrid namin 2months ago. Kaya mag 22km/L sa highway. Nakadepende kase sa driving habit yan
4 speed automatic. Bat di nalang cvt or yubg automated manual niya? I feel like ang ancient na ng 4 speed automatic kasi.
Also, putting a hybrid badge pero di naman siya maeexempt sa coding is so sly haha so baka maraming mauto sa marketing.
@@sirTuyyyyy reliability. CVT tend to rip itself if not maintained well.
Feels like younger brother of innova. Who knows 😅
OK so in short Suzuki XL7/Ertiga are fake hybrids, false advertisements. Mother Earth drives a Toyota Crown Hybrid in Japan and she thinks these Suzuki's are the same and wants to buy these here when they are clearly not and are very far from what she is used to driving, for example the Toyota's Hybrid's does propel and run the car when it has charge and is below 40/50kmph = large savings on fuel (her Honda Step WGN Hybrid 2023 in Japan also works the same as Toyota's Hybrid), these Suzuki's cannot do such hence worse efficiency even compared to non Hybrids such as the Avanza, Rush, Xpander, BRV etc. We badly need that Nissan Serena E-Power on the Philippine market, Honda refuses to import any of its Hybrid cars here in PH.
Looks a bit dated IMO. Need a major facelift.
Nissan Livina
The fuel economy as hybrid is bad.
brv is so much better ❤
yeah
if you can spend all that money to beat this spec for spec then yeah,unless of course you want to put in more cargo and adults in the third row.
But more expensive? So it makes sense it's better. 🤷🏼
BR-V numbers only looks good on paper. Overpriced old interior with plastics. That L engine is not the fastest or the most efficient either.
@@lucky889s9 agree on the interior, Honda had to reduce the quality to lessen the price . But believe me the engine and its ride is the best in its class
Only the Swift has an appealing appearance in Suzuki lineup.
The Jimny looks nice.
Suzuki vehicle designs are as exciting as watching paint dry !!! 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Grand Vitara

rain or shine tuloy ang review. hahhhaa
The dedication
i feel like caco is telling me to not buy these car.
