Noises of all kinds echo through the XL7’s cabin. There’s the ever-present engine noise, which is at best a background irritant, but intrusive at wide open throttle. There’s noticeable tire rumble on most surfaces, and we heard a few suspension clunks on things like speed bumps and sharp driveway entrances. The outside mirrors are a huge source of wind noise at highway speeds. There’s also the quivering body, which generates its own resonance at times. Throw in a rattle coming from the passenger’s side and you have a noisy ride that requires a cranked sound system to quell.
