Hyundai Announces Name of Future Upper Midsize Crossover


All-New 2007 Veracruz Continues Hyundai's Geographic Naming Convention

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

probably 2.5L or 3.0L CRDi Turbo ilalagay dito.

baka Hyundai version of new Sorento.

[basti08]

actually it competes with more upscale SUVs namely Lexus RX350, Honda Pilot, Subaru B9 Tribeca, Nissan Murano etc.

so, its definitely not in the league of the Kia Sorento.

Whoever is designing their SUVs right now should get a lot of bonus. Galing ng designs e.

[mikmik316]

I think reason for the Tucson, Sta. Fe & Mesa names e dahil sa California ang design center ng hyundai.... and of course they use popular "cali" names i believe they think sounds upscale....
