The Korean car company made a big recovery from the speculations that its very own 2007 Hyundai Veracruz model is of "lower quality" during a comparison done with the Lexus RX in July last year. The challenge paved the way for the company to introduce the latest model, the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz Limited AWD, loaded with highly improved state-of-the-art features just enough for its market price of $36,445.

The midsize luxury crossover offers a seven-passenger spacious interior and is beefed up with luxury features, stylish body and optional add-ons depending on whatever lifestyle you have. Its key features that had been a cause of large skepticism on the world market faded with the improved design as well as with the use of top quality materials and technology that reversed "boo" to "awe."

It runs with an EPA estimate of 15 mpg in city and 22 mpg in highway making it one of the most fuel efficient SUVs out in the market.

The 4620-pound vehicle is built with a top technology 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and floor mounted shifter as well as a Shiftronic manually interactive automatic transmission. Adding up to its proud claims is the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 8 seconds making it to keep in fast pace on the road with its competitors.

It also has ABS, traction control and yaw rate, break assistance, 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, front and rear solid disc brakes and electronic brake force distribution to help you make the most out of your driving experience.
