Hyundai Veracruz Extreame Power Review 2012 ~ blackcarracing

The 2012 Hyundai Veracruz is power on demand is its own kind of luxury. The 3.8-liter, aluminum block V6 engine delivers 260 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque. The Continuously Variable Valve Timing perfectly synchronizes the intake and exhaust valves to widen the power band and boost fuel efficiency. Together with the 4 valves per cylinder, they provide smooth, effortless power. The 2012 Hyundai Veracruz with advanced 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC allows the driver to change gears on demand. Adaptive, it also adjusts to your particular driving habits. So when you accelerate rapidly, the transmission takes note and moves the shift points upward to maximize power and acceleration. It also includes preset shift patterns for specific conditions, such as uphill, inclement weather or performance driving.

During normal driving, a vehicle’s frame tends to twist back and forth. If it flexes too much, or lacks torsional rigidity, the ride can become jarring and noisy. The Hyundai Veracruz high tensile steel unibody frame delivers a smooth, quiet ride, and more precise handling, steering and driving comfort. The front suspension is an independent MacPherson Strut design that employs coil springs, gas-charged shocks and a beefy 27-millimeter stabilizer bar. The Hyundai Veracruz rear suspension features an independent multi-link design. Coupled with a rigid unibody frame, road imperfections are absorbed with ease, and excessive rolling that can afflict lesser suspensions is nonexistent.

Hyundai Veracruz is good handling is not the suspension’s only role. Along with the whisper-quiet cabin, it contributes to an all-encompassing feeling of luxury, confidence and security, which may not appear on the window sticker, but is not at all that difficult to miss.The full-time All Wheel Drive (AWD) offers high levels of traction and accurate control in all driving conditions. While the engine-speed-sensing power steering provides more assistance at slower speeds or while parallel parking, and less at highway speeds.

Hyundai Veracruz a modern 4-spoke steering wheel, indulgent woodgrain interior accents, 2nd-row climate control and an Alpine navigation system (available later this year). These are just a few of the amenities that make the Veracruz one of the best-value premium CUVs. Step up to the LIMITED for 18-inch 5-spoke Hypersilver alloy wheels, a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof, a convenient one-touch power tailgate, plush leather seating surfaces, and heated seats in both the first and second rows. The Hyundai Veracruz Infinity audio system, complete with a 6-disc CD changer, subwoofer, and eight Infinity speakers, will keep you tapping time on the power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, while dual front automatic temperature controls help maintain driver/co-pilot harmony.

When you choose the Hyundai Veracruz Limited with the Alpine navigation system (available later this year), you get the audiophile-quality, 10-speaker, 605-watt Infinity audio system. Each speaker has titanium-laminated drivers, which reduce distortion to a nearly unmeasurable level and reproduce sound with faithful fidelity. Mounted in the center console, the available Alpine premium navigation system (available later this year) has the capability to not only help you get where you’re going, but to inform and entertain you en route. The 7-inch touchscreen is your window into all it can do. Hate stopping to ask for directions? The nav system offers 2D and 3D mapping plus gives you access to 6 million points of interest. Want options with your stellar audio? Whatever radio signal you desire, this system will tune it in; choose from AM/FM/XM/HD. There’s a CD player for trips down memory lane. And you can use your iPhone to access Pandora internet radio.

Simple and intuitive are two often-overlooked measures of luxury. The Hyundai Veracruz offers an available single-touch Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and straightforward iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks that allow you to plug in your iPod, hit play and go. Window switches, power locks, and mirror controls that are engineered to look, feel and sound purposeful. While many small details, from the placement of buttons and dials to the positioning of vents and handles, have been carefully considered and optimized, informed by the latest in ergonomic research.

The Hyundai Veracruz interior is as purposeful as it is sophisticated. A reinforced dash panel, four layers of insulation underneath the carpeting, and electronic motor mounts effectively minimize engine noise and vibration in the cabin. The combination of these and other sound dampening elements help make the Veracruz a very quiet, refined ride. Open the driver’s door; thanks to low door sills, expanded head room, and larger doors, getting in and out is easy. In fact, the Veracruz has over 150 cubic feet of total interior volume more than the Mercedes GL yet its total length is ten inches shorter. That tidier length helps give the Veracruz a smaller than normal turning diameter: a mere 36.7 feet. The convenience of this quickly becomes apparent when sighting a free parking spot on the other side of the street. The Hyundai Veracruz with 8-way power driver seat for the LIMITED model is wonderfully compliant and addictively comfortable. It’s also connected to an intelligent Integrated Memory System that remembers precisely how you (and a second driver) like your mirrors, seat and steering wheel positioned. The Proximity Key senses when you approach and unlocks the doors when you touch a button on the door handle.
