Hyundai quietly positioned the Veracruz as a value-priced alternative to the Lexus RX350 and Nissan Murano. Offering a 3.8L V-6 mated to a 6-speed automatic, the Veracruz has a solid powertrain competitive with other crossover SUVs. The Veracruz is available with FWD or an on-demand AWD driveline. Options include a navigation system, power adjustable pedals, 18-inch alloy wheels, rear DVD entertainment system, and 605-watt Infinity audio system. An adult-friendly 3rd row seat folds down to create a flat load floor. With its comfortable ride, roomy interior and exemplary refinement, the Veracruz should appeal to customers looking for an entry-luxury SUV.

What Changed:

Minor equipment changes include a standard USB/iPod interface and a black leather interior for the Veracruz Limited.
