2007 Hyundai Veracruz
Hyundai has recently unveiled its new crossover, the Veracruz —headed for the U.S. market — in Seoul, South Korea. The Veracruz, which will go on sale for over $30,000, is similar in size to the Honda Pilot or Nissan Murano. The automaker expects two-thirds of sales to come from the U.S. market and predicts sales of 80,000 worldwide.

The Veracruz will get Hyundai's 3.8 liter V6 engine matched to its six-speed automatic transmission, and will come equipped with Hyundai's answer to Stow-n-Go, the "Hideaway(TM ) third-row seat -- a 50/50 split fold-into-the-floor seat -- along with all-wheel drive, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and side and side-curtain airbags for all three rows of passengers. The Veracruz is expected to hit the U.S. market late this year.

The Veracruz and the Azera luxury sedan, which was introduced last year, offer the first models in a planned separate luxury brand for Hyundai, which may come as early as 2008.

Quality Hyundai auto parts are available at trusted online auto parts stores like Auto Parts Discount.
