It is safe and I feel good taking my family in it.

Great versatile vehicle for the whole family!
We love this vehicle! Our veracruz performs extremely well on all road surfaces and weather. We have always been able to count on our veracruz to start and run well. The seating is versatile which is perfect to accommodate up to 7 people, 5 people with storage room, or two people with a ton of storage. With front driver and passenger seats that are fully electric with two program options, my husband and I have our own seat, mirror, and steering wheel settings. We are very pleased with the climate control options including dual zones and rear manual so the kids can control the back seats. The veracruz is reliable, driver friendly, comfortable, smooth riding, all while still in an attractive body style!

Traveling in style and comfort.
I love it except it does not have rear view mirror, which I miss. It does have remote start which is a great feature. The reason I bought it was because it has 3 seats and I could take my grandkids on little adventures. I love the surround system and that it is Sirius ready.

It's a great car. I love that I can fit a total of 7 people and I wish it had a back up camera
It's comfortable to drive. And I love that the seats fold down.

If you need a very spacious mid-size SUV this is the one for you!
No complaints. It is a very smooth drive, it accelerates very well, lots of great storage compartments and very spacious for my family of five.
accountCircle Theresa B
I love the grab bar on the passenger side front as it helps me get into the car.
We love the room the Vera Cruz provides. It has a third row seat that folds down and can seat 8 people or 6 adults comfortably. It was equipped for satellite radio; however the radio went bad. We had to get it replaced. I like the ability to heat and cool the front and the back separately.
accountCircle Karla B
Great vehicle; plenty of room.
Good gas mileage - plenty of room for seating and cargo - no problems - 160,000 miles on it - heated seats, power, great air, leather interior, easy to see out of - no blind spots. Bought it new and would buy another, if they made them. Was replaced with a Santa Fe with third row seating, but not sure if I would like it as well.
accountCircle Laura N
It's comfortable. It has 3 rows and 7 seats. Perfect for a family with kids
I love it. It has a lot of technology inside. And it's very spacious

I have never in my life experienced a car this AWFUL. Not only has everything fallen apart on it like door handles, the liner around windows and a million other things but this car was recalled for the oil leaking all over the alternators. The 1st time it happen and I broke down on the interest at least they fixed it at their cost and had the dealership loan me a car, but 2 weeks ago when I broke down on the side of the interstate with my small child, not only did I have to pay $175 to have it towed I find out its the same problem as the first time and its been recalled again but this time they don't have a remedy AKA a solution to fix the problem therefore I have to pay out of my own pocket to fix it and they refused to pay for a rental and since the dealership didnt have any vehicles to loan me I've been without a car for almost a week. They are completely responsible for my car being out of service yet unwilling to do ANYTHING to help me!!!! Worst company and car I've ever had to deal with. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!

Remember to make sure ALL of the the lights are off before you go in for the night!
I like how it handles in the winter. It is big enough for my whole family to ride comfortably. I hate how many bells and whistles it has. These are far too many lights to keep track of. The battery has died a few times because of the lights being left on.

It's a reliable pain in the a*s. It needs manual Windows.
My vehicle is good in the snow, but I hate that it has so many bells and whistles. There are too many lights to keep track of, and I hate electric Windows.
accountCircle Russell H
The Hyundai veracruz is a good car if you do not mind the fuel.
It is not that good with fuel but it drive good and very comfortable. It has plenty of room for the whole family. It is a reliable car with satellite radio, FM radio and a CD player. The color is nice and it has a rack on the roof for anything. It has a rear door with plenty of space in the back. The seats let down for now room.

Why my vehicle is not the best.
My vehicle has gotten me this far, but the brakes and wheels are sub par. I am not planning on replacing this vehicle when the time comes with the same make and model. There were just too many bells and whistles for me. However the size was good in that it has kept our family safe in winter conditions.

I love that it has room 7 people. It drives well, and it's easy to maintain. I don't like that it's cramped with 7 adults. Also, with 7 people in the car, there is very little cargo room.
It's got room for seven people and it's good on gas.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Justin S.

Rides real smooth and very quietly. The vehicle features nice features such as XM satellite radio, dual ac/heat control for the front and the back of the vehicle. 3rd row seating was key for our family.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Justin S.

The cloth interior is not ideal, it stains and is hard to get out or clean. Some of the fixtures in the car like door handles are cheap and break. They are easily replaceable but who wants to go through that hassle.
