Vehicle Highlights
Hyundai introduces a larger SUV for 2007, a car-type midsize with seven-passenger seating. Veracruz is about 4 inches longer in wheelbase and 6 inches longer overall than Hyundai's Santa Fe SUV. Veracruz comes in GLS, SE, and Limited trims. All are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. The sole powertrain teams a 260-horsepower V6 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. So too are front side airbags and curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows. The 3rd-row seat is a two-person 50/50 split bench that folds into the floor. The 2nd row seats three and also folds. Leather upholstery with heated front seats is standard on Limited, optional on SE. DVD entertainment is available on SE and Limited. Power adjustable pedals and a power tilt/telescope steering wheel are Limited-exclusive options. This evaluation is based on preview test drives.
