Suzuki XL7 and Rollover Crashes
The Suzuki XL7 is a popular SUV manufactured by Suzuki. However, something many consumers don’t realize is that SUVs like the XL7 come with a greater risk for rollover accidents. In the event of a car crash, SUVs are more likely to roll over than other smaller vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rated the 2009 Suzuki XL7 four-wheel-drive as having a 16.4% risk for rollover accident, while the two-wheel-drive model has a slightly higher risk at 17.9%. These percentages may not seem very high, but they do give a person a 1 in 6 or 1 in 5 chance for rolling over if their vehicle crashes. However, if your SUV is flawed and causes you injury, you could be entitled to financial compensation.
