Review and specifications

2010 Hyundai Veracruz

The seven-passenger Veracruz was essentially a stretched and more powerful Santa Fe. The 260-hp, 3.8-liter V6 is mated to a six-speed automatic. The powertrain is smooth and the ride comfortable, but suspension noise is evident. Handling is secure, but not particularly agile. Front-wheel drive was standard, with all-wheel drive available. The third-row seat folds into the floor in 50/50 sections, and the second row split in 60/40 sections. The 2012 version was the last model year for the Veracruz, replaced by the long-wheelbase three-row redesigned Santa Fe.

Brand context

About Hyundai

<p>From low-cost sedans to three-row electric SUVs, Hyundai has a model for almost every kind of customer. Most new Hyundai vehicles are stylish, functional, and competitively priced, but the brand overall ranks around the middle in Consumer Reports’ reliability and owner satisfaction ratings. Performance for individual models and years varies widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost compact Elantra and midsized Sonata sedan. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsized Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer hybrid powertrains and three-row seating. In our testing, most Hyundai models are available with a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness while improving fuel economy. The Ioniq electric models are high-tech, well-designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.</p>
