Avensis Verso
Avensis Verso combines the interior space levels
of a multi-purpose vehicle with the aerodynamics, engine technology,
safety, fuel economy, ride and handling, feature levels, environmental
friendliness and low NVH of a passenger car. The key to Avensis
Verso is its interior, with seven seats and load-carrying capacity.
There are 18 possible combinations of seating, which include, folding
the second and third-row seats flat, and a flat camping mode. The
floor and seats are designed to provide walk-through access from
the front to the second row seats. Avensis Verso has more than 300
litres of luggage space behind the third row of seats, and a unique
132-litre storage box under the rear floor. Avensis Verso's new
all-alloy engine has intelligent variable valve timing (VVTi) -
for a combination of energetic performance, high fuel efficiency
(a vital consideration for families) and low (LEV) emissions. The
two-litre engine has maximum power of 110kW at 6000rpm and 192Nm
of torque at 4000rpm.
Models offered: GLX manual and automatic, and Ultima automatic.

XL-7
Suzuki XL-7 is a luxurious seven-seater four-wheel-drive wagon.
It`s said to be the only seven-seater four wheel drive available
with a price tag of just $35,990! Suzuki’s seven-seat newcomer
gets its extra passenger capacity via a 505mm longer wheelbase (over
the Grand Vitara wagon), accommodating a family-sized third row
of seats. Powering the new XL-7 is Suzuki’s familiar all-aluminium
DOHC four valves per cylinder V6 engine, now out to a larger 2.7
Litre capacity, so that it produces a peak output of 130kW at 6,200rpm
and 231Nm of torque at 3,300rpm.
Volvo
XC90
 The
first SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) from Volvo Car Corporation made
its debut at the Detroit Motor Show, January 7 2002. The passenger
car-based, Volvo XC90 is the top of the line model in the Swedish
carmaker’s new XC-range. The "cockpit forward design", where the
passenger compartment has been moved as far forward in the vehicle
as possible, and where the sloping windscreen is positioned further
forward than in most other SUV's makes it a seven-seater SUV within
compact overall body dimensions. It is 4.80 metres (188.9") long,
just 87 mm (3.4") longer than a Volvo V70. It is available with
a choice of three engines, all made entirely of aluminium: An in-line
6-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 2.9 litres, equipped
with twin turbochargers which produces 272 bhp (200 kW) and has
no less than 380 Nm of torque from just 1800 revs/min. An in-line
5-cylinder 2.5 litre petrol engine with a light-pressure turbocharger.
It has a power output of 210 bhp (154 kW) and torque of 320 from
1500 revs/min. An in-line 5-cylinder 2.4 litre common rail turbodiesel
engine produces 163 bhp (120 kW) and offers 340 Nm from 1750 revs/min.
The 6-cylinder petrol engine meets the American ULEV (Ultra Low
Emission Vehicle) requirements, while the 5-cylinder petrol engine
already meets ULEV II, a standard that does not come into force
until model year 2004.
