7-seater SUV showdown: Toyota Veloz vs. Suzuki XL7

7-seater SUV showdown: Toyota Veloz vs. Suzuki XL7

Despite being a newcomer in the local sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment, the Toyota Veloz did not fail to please car browsers and buyers with its impressive features.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How much is the Toyota Veloz?

    Pricing ranges from P1.185 million to P1.225 million.
  • How much is the Suzuki XL7.

    The Suzuki XL7 is priced at P1.098 million.
  • To see what makes it different from the current SUVs on the market, we compare this new Toyota vehicle to one of the well-known three-row SUVs in the country, the Suzuki XL7.

    Both vehicles feature a robust and sleek exterior that makes them fit for any adventure. The Toyota Veloz is slightly longer, but the Suzuki XL7 is slightly taller.

    These two SUVs are designed with contemporary interiors. Both of them come with a number of cabin compartments where you can conveniently store essential items. Both vehicles also have expandable cargo areas in case you need to bring luggage or other large items.

    Toyota Veloz has an edge in terms of in-car entertainment since its display audio can be connected to a smartphone through Apple Carplay or Android Auto.

    Both vehicles are powered by fuel-efficient 1.5-liter engines. The Toyota Veloz produces a maximum power of 106ps at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 138Nm at 4,200rpm. Meanwhile, the Suzuki XL7's engine generates 101ps at 6,000 rpm and 138Nm of torque at 4,400rpm.

    The Suzuki XL7 is built on the robust Heartect platform, which provides a gently flowing structure that can also improve collision protection.

    To ensure the safety of the passengers, both the Toyota Veloz and the Suzuki XL7 come with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability program (ESP), driver and front passenger airbags, Isofix, and LED high mount stop lamp.

    Adding to the safety technologies of Toyota Veloz are the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) features, which includes Pre-collision System (PCS), Automatic High beam (AHB), and Lane Departure Alert (LDA). 

    We further compare the two SUV models on the chart below:
