The seats in the Veracruz seem pretty good to me. It's got every adjustable option. Back/forth, tilt up down, height, back angle, even lumbar. Then you've got the power adjustable pedals and power telescopic steering wheel.
#912 of 944 2009 Model Year Release Date? by jimbob1 Apr 03, 2009 (9:14 am)
I believe the 09MY Veracruz is available in Canada. Any idea when it will be released to US dealers?   Thanks.
#913 of 944 press request by kirstie_h HOST Apr 03, 2009 (11:40 am)
A reporter wants to interview someone who drives a 3-row crossover, has kids and plans to drive the vehicle to a vacation destination instead of taking an airplane. If this describes you, please respond to jfallonedmunds.com by Monday, April 6, 2009 and indicate your vehicle's make and model. Thanks, Jeannine Fallon Coporate Communications Edmunds.com
#914 of 944 Sitting too long ? by iamknott Apr 16, 2009 (10:08 am)
I've been waiting several months now for the 09s to show up at the dealer. I've heard that they are being held somewhere, probably in outdoor storage lots, waiting for the dealers to get rid of the 08s. My wife is worried that, having sat for so long after manufacture, they may be subject to more problems than a "freshly made" car. At first, I told her that there was little to worry about, but the more I think about the gasoline in the tank turning to lacquer, small animals chewing on the wiring harness or crawling into the vents and dying, etc., the more I think she may be right. Any thoughts?
#915 of 944 No backup camera by ericgou Apr 20, 2009 (2:35 am)
I was at the NY auto show and spoke to Hyundai rep. The 2009 Veracruz which is just now being released to dealers, does not and will not have a backup camera. To me this is an essential safety feature and deal breaker. The rep said that numerous people visiting the show have the same reaction. It is surprising that a company that seems to be so aware of upgrading their product, and is being very successful at it, would leave off such a major improvement.

Replying to: ericgou (Apr 20, 2009 2:35 am) Funny, I don't see a need for a backup camera, It is so easy to back up the VC, the side mirrors are huge, and so easy to use, especially those on the newer ones that automatically tilt down when put in reverse. The only car I ever drove that had a BUC was a Prius and it was more of a distraction than of any help. If the mirrors are set correctly, you would never need a backup camera on anything.

Having known 3 kids run over by their parents, one died, who would not have been seen on side view mirrors, I feel very strongly about the camera. I do agree that you must still be vigilant and remember that it only takes a second for something peripheral to wander into the back view. My opinion.

Replying to: ericgou (Apr 20, 2009 10:43 am) If the parents had taught their children to not play or run behind vehicles, do you think there would have less likely been a chance they were run over? The BUC is a crutch, that's all it is. I have little kids, and believe me, they go no where near cars in the driveway. I also make darn sure that if they are outside that they stay far away from the garage. A BUC is no excuse to ignore plain and simple common sense, and I feel that it being a must need is just another excuse to ignore proper teachings, discipline and situational awareness. A more prudent item is a back up alarm! If the kids hear it, they better know to look and leave, and that is something all parents must teach their kids.   I'm sorry but the I killed my kid because I didn't have a backup camera is just plain ignorance.   I like Ford's idea much better, a driver alert system that detects if there are objects behind and to the sides of the vehicle. much simpler, much more practical, and so much better because the driver isn't fixated on a tiny screen inside the vehicle where they wont see anything coming at them from the sides. The VC can detect if a person is behind it, happens all the time when my dumb dog runs behind it when I'm backing. The moron plays tag with the car.
#919 of 944 When does the 09 Veracruz come out? by pinevalleyite Apr 24, 2009 (8:55 am)
Does anyone know when the 09 Veracruz comes out? Just put a deposit on an 08 (due to the $4K cashback) at a dealer who is supposed to "locate" the exact vehicle for me. Worried that if they don't find one and the deal is off - how long till 09?

Replying to: pinevalleyite (Apr 24, 2009 8:55 am) I've heard Hyundai was discontinuing the Veracruz, so PineValley, I hope you have everything in writing, to get your money back in case he can't "locate" the one you want. (Never, ever, EVER take a salesperson's word for ANY promise -- especially if you're handing over any money upfront. Write a note of understanding of what you expect and have the Sales Mgr. initial it.)   The good news is that they are still trying to get rid of the 2008's and man, you can get a really great deal on one. Rest assured, if there is such a thing as a 2009, it's not going to be very different/better than the 2008. And don't forget, Hyundai has the best combo warranty of any carmaker, which will apply even if they stop making your model.   If it makes you feel any better, one guy recently posted on this forum that he was at the NY auto show and spoke to Hyundai rep. who said the 2009 Veracruz "is just now being released to dealers." The guy did not say he saw one at the show himself, but maybe he did. Frankly, I won't believe that until I see it with my own eyes.   CUVs are kinda hot right now, and gas prices are low, so doesn't it seem strange Hyundai has not been marketing the Veracruz -- which has gotten good reviews from most places. Notice you don't see any prominently featured in your local newspaper ads or on the TV "Hyundai Assurance" ads?. No magazine ads about the "all new 2009 Veracruz coming 'soon"?   And who waits this late in the model year to bring in 09's? It's almost time for the 2010's, for goodness sake!   If anyone has proof the 2009 exists at a dealership, I'd love to see and I'll happily shut up.
