The previous XL-7 was a stretched Grand Vitara that offered, not surprisingly, seating for seven. The 2007 XL7, however, will not be based on the recently introduced Grand Vitara but rather on GM’s Theta unibody SUV architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent. Given that those vehicles seat only five and that the XL7 must hold two more, expect it to have a stretched body.
