Car and Driver

 

Okay, there are no sliding doors, but with the Veracruz, three-row seating is standard. The good news is that unlike so many other entries into this segment, the back row is more than just a line on a spec sheet. Would I want to ride back there on a cross-country journey? Probably not, but I’d have no problem hopping in for a trip to the store or a morning commute with the car pool. This is no penalty box. Access is easy with the fold-away second-row seats and there’s actually a reasonable amount of knee room for third-row passengers.

 

Front, middle, or back, seating is comfortable and supportive. For the driver, you get a commanding view of the road with great visibility all around. Most of the seats tilt, slide or fold away, as well, and with everything but the driver’s seat laid flat, there’s a positively cavernous, 86.8 cubic-foot cargo compartment.  MORE--

 

 

First-rate interior

 

If you want to get a sense of how far Hyundai has come, just take a look inside the new Veracruz . Fit-and-finish is first rate, with a surprisingly refined use of materials and colors. Plastics are largely soft-touch and Hyundai has dealt directly with one of our pet peeves, the acres of dull black plastic many manufacturers layer onto the instrument panel. The center stack is trimmed in silver and gray, with large, easy to read, easy to operate displays and controls. Nissan should pay particular attention for its next-generation Murano.

 

When Hyundai first burst onto the American scene, nearly 20 years ago, the automaker emphasized pricing. But rock-bottom prices don’t make a good deal if quality lags at the back of the pack. The Korean carmaker’s turnaround was triggered by a best-in-the-industry, ten-year warranty, and a surge in the quality charts.
