Our first family car. Glad to be the first owner of Suzuki XL7 Hybrid here in Nueva Ecija. 1month na siya ngayon & wala akong masabi. Sulit na sulit. Napakapogi & tipid sa gas. Dami nagagandahan, tinginin talaga sa kalsada tapos ang luwag & malakas humatak. Hindi mo ramdam na underpowered. Inabangan talaga namin paglabas netong hybrid. Sulit na sulit 💪

[@supernova8715]

Okay lang po ba yung 4 speed AT sir?

[@richardborromeo8612]

Feeling mo lang yang maganda peru ang pangit haha

[@darking-rayleigh]

​@@supernova8715Ok lng. Update kakagaling lang namin Baler kanina so medyo matatarik dahil bundok. 6 adults kami, extra size yung dalawa + luggage so loaded kami sa sasakyan. Hindi ka mabibitin sa akyatan basta alam mo gamitin overdrive, 2 & L. Full tank kami nung umalis tapos nasa 272km natakbo namin di pa kasama mga ibang dinaanan. Paguwi ko dito sa bahay may natira pang 3bars. Matipid talaga tapos lamig ng aircon

To clarify things: "The Department of Energy classifies a "Hybrid Electric Vehicle" as being powered by both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and a rechargeable energy source, a.k.a. a battery and an electric motor, upon which both powerplants SHOULD propel the vehicle independently." Meaning it should be able to drive the vehicle using electric power alone in full EV mode, no matter the range the battery can provide. This should eliminate the "loopholes" that some manufacturers try to cheat on, like the Okavango, the Ertiga and this XL7 among others, and prevent cheeky motorists slapping "Hybrid" badges on their ICE cars to confuse authorities. In contrast, take the new Xpander HEV as an example since both are competing in the MPV category. Whereas the ISG in the Suzuki's only deliver 1.77 kW (about 2.3 hp) and only "assists" the gas engine, the Xpander HEV's hybrid system has a full-fledged electric motor which, surprisingly delivers more horsepower than its 1.6 L gas engine: 85 kW (114 hp) and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) to be exact versus 70kW (94 hp) and 134 Nm (98.8 lb-ft) respectively, making it a full hybrid vehicle. That's more than enough to not only qualify it under DOE's requirements, but depending on the level of charge, it can drive itself on full EV mode unlike the former vehicles mentioned. So, before you decide to buy a hybrid and benefit on the "Number Coding Exemption", make sure the vehicle is eligible first and consult DOE's list of qualified vehicles.

[@lostwanderingdrifter]

My sentiment exactly. People are actually getting away with fake hybrid badges and fake hybrid plates. I wonder if MMDA & LTO people on the field know better than to fall for this. To me it looks like ther the MMDA personnel aren’t informed enough to sanction fines on these motorists, or these cheeky motorists know someone who can pull the strings to let them get away with it.

[@lolpartyparrot]

@@lostwanderingdrifter Honestly, I suspect this scenario to be happening already. It's too easy as well to "fake-badge" a specific car to a hybrid. Toyota Corollas have both ICE and Hybrid models, so to are Hondas. But this is the Philippines, unfortunately. If it's too easy to bribe an enforcer for speeding, what more this? I agree, the LTO and MMDA assigned on the field should know better, but they also should be knowledgeable with cars to begin with aside from being informed of this law's details, solely relying on lists can confuse them. That should help them identify which car is which, and hopefully this law doesn't get abused.

[@TheBlueFernando]

Had a conversation with someone who insists his mild hybrid Mazda is exempted sa coding. Tried everything to convince him it's not exempted pero sarado utak kasi naniwala sa sales agent 😅

[@lolpartyparrot]

@@TheBlueFernando Good luck to him come renewal of registration time. Tapos magsisisihan sila ng sales agent niya. SMH

[@lostwanderingdrifter]

@@TheBlueFernando the DOE actually released a defunitive list a google search away. I guess they just want it to be that way regardless if it’s true or not.

[@kevinkristinekhloe8511]

got this march 25 ,2024 very nice two tone color. The front grille is samurai inspired.

[@zana9092]

[@totojlschanol6712]

Yes thank you sir caco ito talaga ang inaantay ko sana my comparison in other 7 seaters thank you

[@renzoalmighty1225]

Ah yes nice grille and paint. Legit Xpander cross competitor

[@manuelcamomot5152]

Looks nice.

[@melvinrimorin7840]

If you want maximum fuel efficiency, get the Ertiga Hybrid. If you want maximum savings, get the Ertiga Hybrid GL (not the GLX or XL7). You will lose some of the features but it more than makes up for it in terms of fuel efficiency and monthly savings on your payment. And just having a simple, reliable car. If you want a bit more with all the bells and whistles, then get the Ertiga GLX or XL7. Can't go wrong with any of these. Mind you, space inside is EXACTLY the same on these three. Just a matter of preference sa looks na lang.

[@jaediaz609]

I love my Suzuki xl7😊

[@yatishchouhan2418]

Watching from India. Paare Your videos are informative and entertaining as before. Hybrid is the future. Friendly on wallet yet never short of adventures. Keep it up bro.

Long last comparo for the hybrids and fuel effeciancy. Kudos to auto deal

[@itsmedanielmatsunaga]

Make it happen Autodeal!

[@beltnergon]

Hopefully the next model will be adaptive cruise control.

[@GrayPM]

Just a reminder if you're buying this expecting to be exempted from coding, it is NOT INCLUDED in the list published by DOE.

[@ryletabor6844]

Agree, hope this info reaches everyone that's considering purchasing this car.

[@miguelbautista2788]

Well regardless it will still be fuel efficient

[@DJ-sp5vf]

dapat si Caco mismo ang mag highlight niyan. kahit sa simula pa lang.

[@StoneColdCookie]

Why is it not included in the list?

[@Marbeary]

I remember the okavango was also mild hybrid and it is not included in the list DOE the electric motor is for acceleration.

[@jlbenedictgutierrez7948]

How is the xl7 vs the king stargazer x?

[@heinzpua]

the transition in 2:32 is *chef's kiss*

Caco looks like he has been hitting the gym hard Or is it just the shirt? Anyway, I thought this car is going to be expensive since Caco didn't mention it right away. I can't wait for the extensive review!

How’s Jack btw? I hope he’s recovering alright.

[@scrumartist5630]

whats new in the 2024 version: minor facelift + mild hybrid @ 1.2m I think its better than the competition but shouldn't be called a hybrid with only that much power from the e-motor (barely noticeable) also the added complexity on the maintenance side is kinda a disadvantage

[@jb_volvo4071]

same body as BRV. whats best?

[@janskieeeu1246]

Conventional A/T ba transmission niyan?

[@euariaeu8873]

hmm battery replacement cost?

[@sonybadinasjr6806]

Expensive for that price...sana matipid na siya kasi hybrid😜

[@tjppunzalan4460]

suzuki is using tried and tested aisin 4 speed transmission. I hope suzuki will update the transmission to 5 or 6 speed for better fuel economy

[@fiiishinggaming]

Hello! Since this is an impression pa of the XL7, I hope on your actual review eh ma discuss nyo kung effective ba talaga na exempted to sa coding since mild hybrid lang to like the new Ertiga. We need clarifications about this and hopefully we can hear it from you po. Thanks and more power! ❤️

[@marlowencna]

No it's not.

[@lolpartyparrot]

It won't be exempted. DOE clarifies its requirements for a "hybrid vehicle", in that the electric motor should be able to propel the vehicle by itself without any assistance from the gas engine. This clearly doesn't do that as mentioned as well by Caco.

[@melgale]

We asked a dealer a few weeks back. They said they already have papers that the xl7 is considered a hybrid and therefore exempted. They are waiting approval now for the new Ertiga hybrid.

[@joshcastillo141]

Question ❓ Besides this creamy white and black top finish? Ano ano pa iyong mga two tone colors niya? O and by the way,.I also can't wait for the proper review 👍😉👍

I hope this is included to the number coding exemption the same as the ertiga but sadly it does not

[@itsmedanielmatsunaga]

Sadly no, hindi kasi sya pasado sa requirements ng DOE. I'm still confused kung paano nakalusot yung Ertiga 🤔

[@wetsocksrichdad1928]

​@@itsmedanielmatsunaga hindi actually lusot amg ertiga. Mga salesagent lang na balasubas ang nag pipilit nun at nag mis inform para makabenta lang

[@themangix357]

As per AutoDeal tradition for Suzuki, what kind of road trip would you guys be taking the XL7 into? Definitely looking forward to it whatever it is! 😄😄

[@ronmix1063]

BRV has the same fuel economy without the hybrid gimmick

[@luzemmanuelluz5]

A big factor would probably be its CVT tranny, which, by the way, is executed well.

[@johnbrando8248]

Top speed and 0. To 100?

[@jsanbeda]

103 HP.... hmmmm why can't they make all these MPV 7seater engines atleast on the 120s HP with additional torque. Just asking btw.

[@coupleadventure]

Sayang lang kc hndi ito katulad ng ertiga, yes parehas clang mild hybrid pero ang ertiga coding excempted na hndi latulad ng XL7 na hndi.

[@darwinroxas9961]

Maybe a video about the best cars for a couple starting in life? Thanks man

[@dashcam5724]

The problem on this car is the placement of headunit between aircon vents, however you turn away the aircon it still target your face or arm. Which is very annoying especially in long drive

how much is the replacement battery

We won't know exactly how much unless you ask the dealer itself, they do not state the prices anywhere since it is a replacement part.

[@melgale]

@@itsmedanielmatsunaga which is why im asking Autodeal as they should easily get this info from their contacts in suzuki instead of me relying on a sales agent's word who's main initiative is to sell me their wares.

Onti palang review kasi. Sa una nilang vids ng comparo kasama si XL7. Pero panalo XL7 kumpara sa tatlo. Yung StargazerX lang talaga hindi niya kaya kase yun pinakamagandang MPV ngayon

[@bhermieboybautista3025]

It's small compared to other 7 seater in its category, old school feels parin ang luob. Sayang pag ka hybrid. Expander,veloz,brv,stargazer parin. Isa sa fasrtest review na ginawa ni sir. Kasi wala masyado special sakanya maliban sa engine.

​@@coupleadventure yes Mild hybrid is fake hybrid. barely does anything to fuel consumption numbers. no EV mode etc no code exeption ,. none of the benefits of a true hybrid car its just a marketing scheme so that they can put the word hybrid on the car . and lure in less informed consumers thinking they are getting mostly the same thing as buying a true hybrid like the Corolla Cross HEV. but in truth they are not

@@venielbretana8240 it seems like you don't understand the word HYBRID and how a hybrid works in a different mode at all.. my bad.. 😔

[@venielbretana8240]

@@coupleadventure i know how it works fake hybrid is the terms commonly used for those who are informed when referring to mild hybrid cars. as they are not even close to actual HEV cars . and its impractical. they just do it for advertisement wise . because some consumers dont know a mild hybrid is a fake hybrid. you wont be getting the fuel efficiency you get from an actual HEV .

[@malcherstudio1130]

People have forgotten that the main purpose of a hybrid or mild hybrid system is to maximize the fuel efficiency of a vehicle. Not to be exempt from number coding. Not everyone lives in Metro Manila to enjoy the coding exemption for hybrid vehicles

[@lolpartyparrot]

That is the main purpose of making these ICE vehicles into a hybrid, especially in the most contested MPV segment: very fuel efficient and affordable vehicles sell like hotcakes. Whether the manufacturer excels or fails in that aspect, you be the judge. But the fact that a lot of car buyers are beginning to get comfortable buying HEVs right now compared to last few years is directly because of this benefit by the new EVIDA Law, because majority of buyers are STILL in the Metro Manila area, wanting to save every ounce of fuel that's otherwise wasted on gridlock traffic, so disregarding that matter here just doesn't work. The comment section alone is evident of that. If you're in a province with the least amount of traffic (if that fever dream even exists), then good for you. Otherwise, you better be lucky to book a Grab because you can't use your car under coding.

[@junaldeza3087]

sa wakas mababawasan na ang mga naka-xpander...

[@itsmedanielmatsunaga]

If ang habol mo is fuel efficency, hindi to makakasabay sa Xpander HEV. Plus, exempted yung Xpander sa number coding, ito hindi.
