Used car review: 2007 to 2011 Hyundai Veracruz - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Model: 2007 to 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. The Hyundai Veracruz hit the Canadian market for the 2007 model year with the goal of putting an affordable luxury crossover on the scene for thousands less than a comparable machine from Germany or Japan. As the line-topping ‘ute from the Korean automaker, Veracruz offered up top levels of comfort and style, alongside a competitive warranty and honest pricing. Most had AWD, though a lower-priced, front-drive Veracruz was available. Look for features like power memory seating in heated leather, a sunroof, automatic lights, automatic climate control, multimedia audio connectivity, a 6-CD changer, a rear-seat entertainment console and Bluetooth. Owners say a combination of quality, styling, interior appearance, safety ratings and a great driving position attracted them to the Veracruz, while attractive pricing and Hyundai’s warranty coverage helped seal the deal. A smooth ride, overall comfort and plenty of power are also reported, and the sound-system and power tailgate are also a hit. Complaints include limited third-row seating space, which is a standard gripe in most three-row crossover models. Some owners do report a rough or jarring ride, particularly on models with larger wheels and on rougher roads. Start by inspecting all of the Veracruz’s options and features for proper operation.
