Hyundai Veracruz – 2007 Review: This is not a Lexus.

We say this for two reasons. First, Hyundai has done a credible job of making its Veracruz crossover look like that company’s RX 350 inside and out, at least at first glance, so we figure a little clarification is in order. Second, while the Veracruz does a credible job of offering up a near-luxury alternative to vehicles like the more workaday Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Highlander, we’re not sure it matches the Lexus in terms of overall refinement. Still, we can safely say that if you’re seeking prime rib on a hamburger budget, it’s definitely worth a look.
