“This year we plan to introduce another hybrid product. For which model and when? I’m just waiting for more information,” said SIS marketing chief Donny Saputra.
While he didn’t go into detail about the product, Donny did give that reticule hybrid car Suzuki’s latest will be produced locally. In other words, it most likely refers to the XL7 Hybrid.
Then Suzuki’s official social media released information about the presence of a hybrid version of the XL7 in Indonesia. They show a silhouette photo of a car with the big 7 as the background, then there’s a date of June 15, 2023 which is presumably the time of its release.
In addition, sales have begun to open orders for Suzuki’s newest LSUV. We were even informed about the official price, which starts at IDR 283.9 million (OTR Jakarta) for the 2023 XL7 Beta MT Hybrid variant. Meanwhile, conventional engine variants are also available with a starting price of 256.1 million. of IDR (OTR Jakarta) for XL7 Zeta MT 2023 variant.

Want to know more details about the specifications and price leaks for the Suzuki XL7 Hybrid 2023? Check out the full discussion here:
Exterior of the Suzuki XL7 Hybrid
It is not difficult to predict the exterior of the 2023 Suzuki XL7 Hybrid in Indonesia. We can see his twin brother, i.e Hybrid XL6 which was first sold in India or even the Ertiga Hybrid in the country.
It is possible that the hybrid version and the currently on sale XL7 do not differ much from the outside. At least there are changes to the front grille with x-bar styling and more chrome.
The accessories attached to the bodywork such as skid plates and roof rails appear to be retained. Meanwhile, the overall dimensions will not differ.
Our prediction is that the latest hybrid-powered XL7 will be 4,450mm long, 1,775mm wide and 1,710mm tall. While the wheelbase is 2,740 mm and the minimum ground clearance is 200 mm.
Then automotive digital engineering activists on Instagram @rafimuamar40 also posted their work related to the latest XL7. The car looks two-tone with the Savannah Ivory hero color combined with a black roof. The wheels are also black.
Interior full of modern features
Suzuki XL7 Hybrid 2023 looks like it will undergo some changes in the interior. Especially in terms of the presence of more modern comfort features.
If you look at India, there are additional features like ventilated seats which make the seats more comfortable. Then a 360 camera to facilitate maneuvering on narrow roads. There are also paddle shifters and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Then, as in the Ertiga Hybrid, Cruise control is present on the XL7 hybrid.
So for the latest in-house XL7 using hybrid technology, it’s still likely to have a 7-person 3-row bench setup. It’s just that the difference is the use of leather seats that make sitting more comfortable.
And then the active safety system? It seems that Suzuki still maintains what was in the old model, such as hill holding control (HHC), anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability program (ESP), dual airbags and electronic brake distribution (EBD). Don’t expect advanced features like the ability to brake yourself, like the one in Honda sensor BR-V.
Hybrid engine performance on the latest XL7
Unfortunately, the 2023 Suzuki XL7 Hybrid uses only mild hybrid technology or Suzuki’s Intelligent Hybrid Vehicle (SHVS). In other words, there is no electric motor.
When you see Ertiga Hybrid, then the XL7 Hybrid will use the 4-cylinder K15B engine coupled with ISG and lithium-ion technology. The engine has a displacement of 1,462 cc capable of delivering 138 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm and 104.7 HP of power at 6,000 rpm.
As for the drivetrain, the latest XL7 with hybrid technology is likely to be available in 5-speed manual (MT) and 4-speed automatic (AT) options. Naturally, these specs are different from the XL6 Hybrid in India, which uses a 6-speed transmission.

With these specs, how much will the 2023 Suzuki XL7 Hybrid cost? Is it much more expensive than the XL7 currently on sale?

From the price list it can be seen that the latest Suzuki XL7 is available in two engines, namely conventional and mild hybrid. Especially for the non-hybrid machines available on the XL7 Zeta, the price is only up to Rp. 2 million compared to the old model.
