The overview
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.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
