Overview & Reviews

The 2011 Hyundai Veracruz is unchanged from the 2010 model, save for some package and option updates. The Premium package no longer includes a navigation system and premium stereo, and as a result, these features are no longer available on base GLS models. Also, a factory-installed rear-seat DVD entertainment system is no longer available on the Veracruz.

  2011 Hyundai Veracruz -- Not bad at all - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By joshregenold - September 8 - 10:30 am

  Coming from the nightmare that was a 2011 Jeep Compass (read my review over there; what a disaster), the Veracruz is a dream come true. Ive never owned a Hyundai, but the build quality is exceptional, the interior is roomy and comfortable, the ride is quiet and smooth on the highway (a bit rough at low speeds on rough roads), and the gas mileage is just as advertised. Driving 4,000 miles or so mostly on the highway (I do about 90/10 hwy/city), I average between 21 and 23 MPG. The third row is not bad at all, either. I regularly have adults at about 56" tall back there with no complaints.

  My New Veracruz - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By cwilli2 - November 15 - 12:30 am

  When I was looking to purchase a SUV I went shopping as most consumers do. Truthfully I went to Volvo actually liked the SUV itself but it didnt have the room I was looking for. During the process my daughter said mom you are a Hyundai loyal customer what are you thinking. Went to Rick Case Hyundai on a cold day. Salesman called me from outside telling it was cold to come in get warm and to tell him what I was looking for. I drove out that evening with my Hyundai Veracruz, everything they promised was delivered. I love my Hyundai and I love Rick Case.

  Perfect - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Obi_wan - November 19 - 10:00 am

  This is my third SUV. Ive owned the Toyota 4Runner and Sequoia. Im much happier with the Veracruz! I just made a trip to Oklahoma City from St Louis. I averaged 22.5 mpg. A lot better than the Sequoias average 15 mpg! The ride is smooth and quiet. My friend came along and brought a mobility scooter. It fit in the back perfect, plus left enough room for luggage. It took awhile for the car to cool down in the 95 degree heat of Ok City, but the a/c is very good. I cant make up anyones mind about a Korean automobile, but Im very happy with the Veracruz. Best of luck to any of you considering an SUV.

  questionable interior - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By schaef1 - July 14 - 4:51 pm

  I have loved the excellent layout of the Vera Cruz. However, the car is only 7 months old and the sterring wheel started peeling. It was replaced at no charge. Now both of the front leather seats are showing wear and once again, it is supposed to be replaced at no cost, however, whats to stop this from happening again. The mileage is fair and the ride is a little choppy at 30-35 miles. Otherwise, its a great car but I am concerned about the quality of the interior. The dealer finally admitted that he has seen the seats in other Vera Cruzs do this in the past. Why hasnt Hyundai fixed this? Would I recomend this car, the jury is still out?

  2011 Hyundai Veracruz Problems - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By afred - May 24 - 7:08 am

  Three days ago my 2011 Veracruz with 27K miles just quit while on the road. It had a total electronic chassis failure. First the ECM warning light and then all the warning light and then car came to a stop. Towed to dealer, the next day I was told it was a loose battery cable(??), strange since no one had touched it. Drove it out next day before I got into the freeway, same thing, car quit, same warnings. Towed to dealer. They said they had 3 code and it has a throttle position sensor, after they changed it they called and said that was not it. Need to keep the car and see what it is. Three days without a car, dealer has offered to rent one though. Car is totally unreliable to take out.

  Best SUV Ive Ever Owned - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By Obi_wan - June 23 - 10:00 am

  Im a previous 4Runner & Sequoia owner. No more Toyotas in my future. I purchased the Veracruz and Sonata in August. Wife drives the Sonata, and I drive the Veracruz. I love it! Took it on a trip from Illinois to Oklahoma and was thoroughly pleased. Extremely comfortable ride.

  Luxury and economy! - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By cmccarthy816 - May 11 - 10:00 am

  We purchased the 2011 Veracruz over the weekend and so far love it! After driving several other higher end models the comfort and value here outshines even the luxury brands wed driven. For the feel of driving on a cloud while keeping my budget on the ground, this couldnt be beat!

  2011 Hyundai Veracruz, Worst car I ever bought. - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By george170 - May 16 - 1:00 pm

  I bought a new 2011 Veracruz limited and very shortly after I got it I started having problems. The brakes would make a very loud grinding and knocking sound, that is a safety hazard. The stereo system was not nearly good enough to pay the extra money for that upgrade. This car was taken back to Hyundai 5 times to get the brakes fixed. Hyundai sent a factory rep to look at the problem. This rep would not even take a wheel off to look at the brakes. All they would say is this is normal. I own another Vercruz and drove others and this is not normal. Hyundai never would fix the brakes. I had to get rid of the car before we had a wreck due to brake failure. I would not recommend this car.

  Like my Ride! - 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  By cgarver1 - June 27 - 1:03 pm

  The Veracruz is a very nice car. There is some wind noise at highway speeds, but its not to the point of being annoying. Just turn up the radio. Theres lots of room inside and the interior is well appointed. Ive had my 2011 for about 6 months and have had no mechanical gliches at all. I bought it late in the model year, so got a great price from Garber Hyundai in Saginaw, MI.
