Check out the latest issue of Motor Trend. Comparison test between the Veracruz and the Lexus RX350. Believe it or not, the Veracruz wins!!!! It's about time. I figured even if the Veracruz was better, that the Lexus would have still won since Toyota pays off the car mags.

How is the Veracruz getting 18/25 mpg with its 3.8L V6?

The Santa Fe weighs 400 to 500 lbs less (depending on 5/7 seats and FWD/AWD), but it gets between 19/24 and 20/25 mpg (again, depending on the trim). And the Santa Fe is only a 3.3L V6.

That's two big factors (weight and engine size) that should put the Santa Fe way ahead in mileage, but the Veracruz just about...

I have a 2008 Veracruz Limited that I want to upgrade the headlight bulbs on to possibly the Sylvania SilverStar or Ultra Stars.

On the internet I find that the high beams are supposed to be H7 bulbs while the low beams are H11Bs.
There is no information for the fog lights.
I also found a posting that somene stated the Osram H11s would replace the H11Bs.

In late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "times in the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. Relative ratings obscure too much--how large is the difference between "better than average" and "worse than average"? I’ll also be updating results four times a year, so there will be...

I am wondering what would be the pros/cons of upgrading the oil to synthetic? My VC has 2600 on it at the moment, the dealer book states change every 7500 miles. I was thinking that since i drive a little harder than normal that I would change every 5000 miles. Then I thought about synthetic oil then I could go somewhere in the ballpark of 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Any thoughts?

Just wanted to let ya'all know that I've got a set of four 18" Veracruz wheels for sale. I bought them for my Sonata, but they didn't fit (should've done my homework... oops...)

I got them for a steal, and thought I'd pass on the deal if anyone is interested... not looking to make a profit.

Hey can anyone tell me if they feel like their VeraCruz never goes all the way into overdrive?

At any speed when I take my foot off of the accelerator, the car slows down immediately. It never feels like my car can coast. It feels as it the car is in a lower gear and will not release. My speed will slow dramatically..... Gas mileage is fair at 21.5 on highway as I drive all highway...

I just purchased a 2008 VC Limited and I have noticed that when I start off the line fast then let off the gas I get a hesitation and a down shift. Just wondering if this is a characteristic of the VC, or something isn't correct. It isn't consistent so I know it won't happen when I take it back to the dealer.

Hello,

I ordered my 2008 Veracruz Limited yesterday. The options I chose was the Navigation and I also wanted the Rear DVD Entertainment system factory installed. After searching for the car they came back to me and said I cannot have both. It is either one option or the other. Why? Does anyone know?

Now what we did was pick the Navigation option to be factory installed....

Has anyone found a place that sells mud flaps made for the Veracruz? I have looked all over but cant find custom made accessories for the Veracruz. I would appreciate the help.

So it was only the morning after I bought my 08 VC GLS that I discovered it had no siderails - nothing - nada - zip on top. Dealer told me it would cost like 800$ including labor to drill holes and install them. LOL

It makes no sense a car so well equipped including mood lighting, rear climate control and seating for 7 would leave 6.5 measly square feet for all the junk those 7...

Have anyone figured out if or how to use the audio input jack on the rear entertainment sytem? I have a 2007 Veracruz Limited with the entertainment system. I have seen a couple of posting but wanted to see if anyone ever got the audio input jacks to work through the sound system? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm an Aussie working(?) in the Middle East and today I picked up my 2008 Veracruz with SatNav.

First impressions....Brilliant!!!

I traded in my 2006 Azeera...another lovely Hyundai...and after driving 500km today I really like the VC's ride, comfort and smootness.

SatNav is fun to use and very accurate.

It is used as...

I just purchased a 2008 Veracruz with Nav and I wanted to know if anyone out there knows how to disable the safety feature that wont allow you to watch a dvd while driving? I dont plan on watching while driving, but my oldest son would like to on long drives.

I just bought a 2008 limited VC with Nav and I have been trying to find the wiring harness to connect a Parrot 6100 BT. I found 1 company that will build this cable. Apparently it is complicated with all the amps that are installed. I will update this site when I get the cable and let everyone know if it works.

I bought my VC about 4 weeks ago and I love it. I got the 07 SE with pretty much everything. I purchased a Parrot Bluetooth adapater and had it installed by CarToys, connecting to the center speaker just above the center dash. I have since woken up and and found my VC with a dead battery twice. I went directly to the dealer and they took it for the afternoon for testing. They said everything...

We are considering the purchase of a 07 Veracruz limited.

Does anyone know if there is a simple way to integrate an ipod or other mp3 player into the stereo system (other than fm modulation)? If there is no DVD player in the vehicle, is there a extra set of audio connections we can use? Is there a set of inputs on the external amplifier that could be used?

For feedback to...

Has anyone had the problem where mainly the MPG, E/T are randomly resetting?

also my ESC switch doesn't seem to be working?

I just read this post...


Sounds like he contacted Hyundai and verified that it will be available next month. No word on pricing.

Hello.

My Veracruz is two weeks old.

It came equipped with the roof side rails and the crossbars. Both Thule and Yakima tell me that I need to purchase their crossbars to install a cargo box. Is this true? Is there a cargo box that I can install directly to the factory installed crossbars??

Thanks for the help!

Charles

Has anyone tried to put a Thule, Yakima or any other brand of bike carrier system on to the factory rack and cross rails?

The hitch system looks like it would ride so low to the ground, I'm shying away from that.

Thanks!
Higgo

I own a 2007 Veracruz Limited and would really like to get my iPod properly integrated without FM modulation. After combing the forums, nobody has any ideas.

I have one idea I have been considering. Replacing the factory stereo with an aftermarket unit would do the trick, but there are no aftermarket dash or wiring harness kits available that I can find, making this very difficult. ...

im actually asking this question for my brother... this past summer he bought an 07 veracruz. his wife was asking about a remote car starter. i dont want to put in something cheap. just looking for some feedback!
thanks!

I just got a 2008 Veracruz Ltd. This comes standard with two Proximity keys. First thing I did was to ask for a third key. The dealer claims that I can buy a replacement key, but only two keys can be "active" at at a time for security reasons. I have in the past always purchased extra keys (for CONVENIENCE reasons) for previous vehicles and have doubts that the 2 key limit is...

I am wanting to replace the internal cabin lights with blue led's. As the front dash lights up in blue I would like this to be possible in the rear, also the front foot lights and others. I have not seen anything for the VC cabin light replacement. I do find some fairly good Santa Fe info where the owner completely moded the vehicle but the SF and the VC are not the same. I find LED's...

This is related to another post about removing the console cover. Does anyone know how to remove the gear shifter knob? The hmaservice site just shows an "up" arrow with the gear shift in neutral. (Implying you simply pull it off)

Well unless I am missing something that didnt work for me. Any ideas? Thanks

Ok, I know that may be dangerous while driving. But when the front passenger seat is occupied, without this, he/she will be unhappy. For the other passengers a I got a roof flip DVD for them.
Here is the video to proof it

You my wonder how this been done. There is a cable from the car computer sending signal of the vehicle speed and it is attached to the front screen, when the...

I have been shopping for a Veracruz. Is Xenon available? I would find it hard to believe that a flagship car for Hyundai does not offer Xenon! I have xenon on my Mazda 3 and this is the starter car for the Mazda line!!!

I can't seem to find anything in the brochure.

anyone have anymore besides:

I just would like to find out if anyone else has had problems with the clip that is supposed to hold the drivers side third row seatbelt. I have just now had my second one break and these seems to me to be a design flaw. It appears that the clip is facing the wrong direction and should face the rear of the vehicle. I simply had some boxes in the rear and as they were being removed the a corner...

I was using the small compartment in front of my shifter, on the Veracruz, to store my spare change. This is the same compartment that contains the DC accessory port. Anyway, this past weekend a coin feel down in the small space between the front of the tray and the lid that covers it. The result is the door will no longer fully open because it hits the coin. I need to take the console apart...

Anyone have issues with starting the Veracruz? I have an 2007 Limited and while I love the gadgets the dealer has had trouble diagnosing the problem. I think I got some poor service, but since telling me there is nothing wrong with the car, they have now replaced the battery, body controller and are now testing all the circuits connected to the transport fuse (which is supposed to keep the...

You cannot get a hitch reciever for the 08' Veracruz at all. The dealers cannot even order them, the part numbers don't exist.
Apparently the 07' will not fit. I called eTrailer and they have no info.

This is BS!

I just purchased a GLS AWD for 24320 this is an 07 with 2k in rebates. I looked at a lot of other models but felt that the Veracruz GLS was a great buy. I think Hyundai should advertise this model a bit more. I personally think the value goes down on the more equipt models and I find the gls to have most things that I need.

I am looking into the Limited AWD edition of the VC. I am interested in feedback on "wind" from current owners who drive with the roof open and have/do not have the wind deflector.

Also: Is it worth ordering the carpeted floor mats or does the car come with some mats?

Brand new 2008 purchased a week ago.

Washed the car today and as I was drying the rear of the Veracruz, I noticed brownish-orange spots on top of the chrome tips. Looks like rust, but not below the chrome surface.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Has anyone had their locks or other options programmed? So far, my dealer has not received the Scantool updates that includes the Veracruz

I have a new VC Limited Ultimate - excellent vehicle - I love it - BUT ... the FOB for the proximity key is such that the hatchback rear door open/close button accidentally activates when touches keys or change in my pocket. At least 5 times now I have noticed the back door wide open - at the parking lot at work - at my sister's house - at home - because the FOB button contacts other things...

When builing the car on the HyundaiUSA web site they list 2 different options for an air conditioner "kit".

Air conditioner kit $ 95
Air conditioner kit $ 325

Does anyone know what these are?

Does anyone know the specifics of the January '08 Veracruz lease special?

The HyundaiUSA website shows a $299/month lease on the GLS FWD, but does not give any more detail. For other trims, it says call dealer.

Are they putting a rebate on the MSRP, giving a low finance rate or what? What kind of downpayment might they be requiring?

Can anyone tell me were I can get accessaries without going through the dealer?

Anyone else have the issue where when you put the second row down in order to get into the 3rd row, once you put the seat back up, the seatbelt is locked? This has happened and my wife is on her 3rd seatbelt now. The car is in for service again today as they have ordered a part from Hyundai that is a "retro-fit kit" and it will take 4 hours to install I am told. I have searched the...

Does anyone know a good replacement blade for the Veracruz that is not the same design as the OEM? I just drove through a blizzard and the factory wiper blades are the worst I've ever seen or used - and my Veracruz only has 3000 miles on it! The new design is simply awful as far as its ability to work in snow. The blades freeze up and would only clean about 1/8 of the windshield no...

Hello Everyone,

I test drove both a 2007 Santa Fe (no 2008 available) and a 2008 Veracruz. I will most likely purchase one or the other. The Santa Fe rides very well over the small bumps but the larger ones seemed to feel pretty harsh. Even though you still felt the same bumps with the Veracruz, they were not as harsh. Was wondering if anyone else considered the Sant Fe before buying...

Does anybody know if the part number for the '07 Veracruz shop manual and where to order it? I am getting ready to install my trailer hitch, and would like a shop manual handy for some info.

The subcontrol button at the bottom of the tailgate is not closing the gate when pressed. It just beeps. The power op. works using the key fob and driver's seat control. Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks.

I ran across this today. Not sure if it's obnoxious or cool.
