Road Test

The Hyundai Veracruz offers a quiet and well-finished interior with a refined engine and a thoroughly isolated driving experience. Based on the Hyundai Santa Fe, Veracruz has a roomier rear seat and a larger engine. While certainly a competitive offering, many of our testers found the driving experience a little bland. Plus, the wide rear roof pillars create large blind spots.
