Hyundai Announces Name of Future Upper Midsize Crossover
All-New 2007 Veracruz Continues Hyundai’s Geographic Naming Convention
Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters, serene beaches and Mexico’s grandest port — all reminiscent of the Mexican state and the meaning behind the latest addition to the Hyundai lineup: Veracruz.
The ninth vehicle to join Hyundai’s 2007 model year lineup, the midsize Veracruz will be larger than Honda Pilot, have more cargo volume than the full-size Mercedes-Benz GL and offer sleek styling, a car-like ride and premium features. Veracruz will also feature as standard equipment the Hyundai Hideaway(TM) third-row seat, a simple-to-use 50/50 split fold-into-the-floor seat, offering flexibility for up to seven passengers.
Equipped with a standard 3.8-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission, Veracruz will offer an unprecedented combination of styling, safety, comfort and convenience including available all-wheel drive, standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), standard side-airbags, as well as side-curtain airbags for all three rows of passengers.
Veracruz will compete primarily with upper midsize crossovers including Honda Pilot, Nissan Murano, Subaru B9 Tribeca and Lexus RX350.
