2008 Hyundai Veracruz Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Hyundai's getting serious now. With Lexus RX350-like aspirations, the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz crossover arrives, blending Hyundai highlights, such as abundant safety features, 5-star crash ratings, a long-term warranty, and affordability, with more upscale comfort and styling associated with higher-end brand names. Longer than its closest competitors, the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the seven-seat 2008 Veracruz adds an optional navigation system this year, power-adjustable pedals, memory settings for the driver's seat and mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers, but otherwise remains unchanged.
Not only the largest Hyundai on the market, the 2008 Veracruz is the largest crossover in its class. Built on an extended Santa Fe platform, the three trim levels (SE, GLS, and Limited) come in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, with a 3.8-liter, 260-hp V6 under the hood. The 6-speed auto transmission with manual mode is a first for Hyundai and helps smooth out the ride. The 2008 Veracruz keeps families in mind, with excellent safety ratings. Standard safety features include ABS brakes, traction and stability control, automatic headlights, a tire monitor, and dual front airbags and side curtain bags for all three rows. Rear parking sensors can be added.
Upscale touches are found inside and out. A curvy, sleek exterior features chrome highlights, alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler. Inside, the quiet cabin covers surfaces in soft material, with low-glare material used on the dash. Base models start with full power features, a CD/MP3 player, cruise control, rear climate control, and a family-oriented console cooler for beverages. As you move up, a sunroof, leather upholstery, memory settings, and a power liftgate get added. The second row slides forward for decent third-row access. The third row offers the Hyundai Hideaway - not an after-hours lounge, but a convenient fold-flat feature to expand cargo space. Rear legroom in both rows surpasses the Santa Fe's, though cargo room with all seats up is smaller.
Overall, test drives have shown agile handling, a powerful engine, and a quiet ride in the 2008 Veracruz. With Hyundai's warranty and a decent 17/26 mpg city/highway estimate, the Veracruz seems to offer the best of both worlds - luxury trappings that won't break your bank.

This car has plenty of space for our growing family, and has plenty of headroom. This car is very reliable, needing nothing but general maintenance. It's handling is superb, and the towing capacity is impressive for a crossover SUV. All around great vehicle!Mar 27, 2014

this is a people pleaser. has good build quality, performs well as a daily driver and gives you decent gas mileage. i bought this one pre-owned and saved a bundle. has a good warranty even though i am the second owner. it still smells and drive like new and since the styling is the same as the 2011, great deal, i am well pleased May 16, 2011

The VeraCruz is the common man's gift from god to compare against the Mercedez, BMW's, and the Oldsmobiles, and any other high class, high costing, gas eating, automobiles. It drives fantastic, accelerates quickly, brakes on a dime, and handles like a much more expensive vehicle. It's built to last and all the extras are worth it. The Sound System with all its speakers, makes for cranking it up with good jams. It looks "ausgescheitznet" inside and out. Gas mileage is good for its weight at around 20-21 mpg. Very low maintenance. And basicly it is fun to drive. Mar 19, 2011

This SUV is very nice... looks alot like the Lexus. The limited has alot of nice extras. It drives much better than the Santa Fe, for not much more money. The 7 seats are nice for carrying someone other than just the family. The extra space with the back seat down is also nice.Jul 07, 2009

Moving from a Ford Explorer I am so amazed as to the quality to detail this vehicle demonstrates. The fit and finish is superb, loads of space for kids and their play dates and the dvd player with wireless headphones a life saver. We can listen to our music while the kids watch their movie. Best car I have owned. With free oil changes for life from our Hyundai dealer, icing baby.Dec 14, 2008

Love my crossover, was a great switch from our Excusion! Still have lots of room with the benefits of a smaller car! Better gas mileage, fits in all the parking spaces, fun to drive! I can still fit 7 people, or I can fold down the seats and haul a couch!Sep 11, 2008
