I V

Reliable and great on gas.

This car has been running smoothly since 2007 without any major problems. It is great on gas and drives smoothly. The car needs to be updated for better Bluetooth technology and gadgets.

Dion T

Rides smooth and has lasted for over 11 years now.

My vehicle is 2007 and has been very good to me. Some minor issues but overall very good. Hyundai makes great cars.

Amanda M

Very comfortable and lots of room. Can haul large items when seats are down.

Love the Hyundai Veracruz. Very spacious. Love the 3rd row. Trunk area is huge when not using 3rd row.

Cheng C

It's a great and spacious vehicle.

I really loved my Hyundai Veracruz. It's more than 10 years old but it's still working great. It's an SUV thus its great especially if you have kids. I think it's a safe vehicle if you have small kids too. It's easy to drive and manipulate. It very spacious.

Carol W

Great vehicle minus the electronics issue.

This car is great on gas. Because of the age of our vehicle and we purchased it used, it is just now starting to have some electrical issues. Repairs are easy to perform without the costly expense of a mechanic. The paint color is perfect, no fading, cracking, or peeling. This vehicle is a comfortable, smooth ride. Biggest negative would definitely be the electronics.

Jennifer m

The vehicle is comfortable for long trips and has good cargo space.

I love the features of my vehicle. It is the limited series. It was my father's vehicle who has since passed away, which gives it a lot of extra value.

James B

Large SUV that feels like a mid-size with how it drives.

Car has been very reliable overall. There was a past issue (which eventually led to a recall and a refund for past repairs) regarding oil leaking on the alternator but the issue was fixed with a recall. I have experienced no major issues during the time I have owned the vehicle (9+ years). Some interior issues like warn trim panels, a stuck rear latch (easily fixed) I have had to deal with but I am fairly convinced that Hyundai makes a reliable vehicle after owning this Veracruz.

Vicki C

It has comfortable third row seating. My teenage sons were able to sit in the third row for long car trips.

I love the third row seats. The engine has enough get up and go for me. There is plenty of room for hauling groceries. The only negative has been the recall on the alternator.

The 2007 Hyundai Veracruz is a death trap!

This vehicle has multiple engine failures that have not just been dangerous, but also life threatening. It stalls while driving, oil leaks into the alternator, fails to change gears, fails to get gas, and much more. The engine has overheated without warning to the point of nearly catching fire. The cosmetic issues go on for days. There is no sound in the turn signals, the gas tank button is now inoperable, the door panel sticks and has caused me to rip off my driver side door handle, the radio has static. There are many more issues.

I was enjoying the car for about a year then things started going wrong. To start with, I never knew how much gas was in the full tank because it erworked.never worked. I onlyfound out after I drove it off the lot. Dealership would not fix it (Drive time). So I learned how to figure it out. Worse things started to happen. Driverside door handle broke and Ihad to get it fixed. Never really did work well afterwards. Now the last month, the oildropped into alternator andI stopped dead in the middle of a left turn and was caught in the middle of the street. Couldn't get it out of gear to get it off the road! Then, when that was finally fixed, the stability control turned itself offand on, eventually fully off! So dangerous!! Do not buy this car! There is a lot more wrong with my car, but I just wrote about the worse things. I wishI could leave a zero star rating.

Catherine T

A beautiful and good car but not so great.

My car is cute car but not so strong. When you stop at a traffic light, it takes time to pick up speed. The esc off light is always coming up. Other than that, the car is good, doesn't develop faults a lot and its spacious. It has 3 seats but you have to collapse the back seat to get enough room in the trunk. Its uses a lot of gas too but it's an SUV so. . .

Lauren S

It has issues with oil leaking where it shouldn't and is susceptible to breaking down.

I like way it drive as far as being comfortable and easy to drive. I feel like it has decent spacing for cargo as well. However I have had many mechanical issues which is frustrating and I wish it had more pick up.

Iram A

Very reliable, like the space inside

Even do is an old model, have no issues with it on motor or transmission, but I would like to change for a new model year

Michael M

Great engine very smooth transmission also smooth

Cosmetically falls apart way faster than thought. Engine is great. Door handles and lock break easily.

Lauren P

Great family car, however not the best for highway or long distance driving.

Has very good cargo space considering it doesn't feel like I am driving a necessarily huge vehicle. I wish it had acceleration as I feel like it is always difficult to rev in multiple situations. Overall it is a good family car and perfect for getting from place to place.

Crystal A

It is cheap on gas. It is very spacious for long leg kids.

It is small, but hesitates when gas is used, so if you push on the gas pedal to fill it hesitates for a second before it does,.

Pros from Owners

Elizabeth F.

It is very roomy and comfortable, which is important. It has a very good turning radius. It is comfortable to drive. The Veracruz also has a very high safety rating. The mirrors also fold in for washing.

Cons from Owners

Elizabeth F.

It is not as cheap on gas as I'd hoped. It is always a risk with 6 cylinders. It has a dual exhaust, which is both expensive to replace and not as efficient as you'd think. There are some undiagnosed electrical issues, as well.
