Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst, Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. “The quiet, comfortable, wellappointed Veracruz starts just under $28,000, offers a long list of desirable options and is backed by a reassuringly comprehensive warranty that includes 100,000mile powertrain coverage and fiveyear, 24hour roadside assistance.” When introduced in 2007, the allnew sevenpassenger Veracruz took the auto industry by storm, raising the bar on what consumers could expect in the premium, midsize crossover segment. Building on that momentum, the Veracruz got even better in 2008, adding an allnew navigation system, designed for Hyundai by LG, one of the world’s leading electronics manufacturers. The Veracruz comes with a standard 3.8liter V6 engine, a third row seat, an AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio®/CD/MP3 audio system that includes six speakers, as well as plenty of advanced safety equipment. The Veracruz utilizes the latest in active and passive safety technologies, including standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Antilock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) for impressive stopping distance for a vehicle of its size, antiwhiplash active front head restraints and six airbags with side air curtains that protect all three rows during side impacts. The vehicle also received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) fivestar frontal and side crash ratings in the sport utility vehicle segment.
