#1 of 7 Hyundai Veracruz in the snow by jrsactown Jan 07, 2008 (9:32 pm)
Just got back from the snow ( Lake Tahoe CA ) in my 07 AWD Veracruz Limited. This SUV is GREAT in the SNOW! You do not even notice the AWD engaging, it is very smooth and quite. When I came upon 2 feet of snow in a parking lot, I pushed in the AWD lock button, and no problem getting thru it. Also, the heated wipers, and outside mirrors worked great. My wife and I felt very safe, even though the roads were very slick and filled with stuck vehicles. I would love hear from other Veracruz owners on the their snow experiences.

Replying to: jrsactown (Jan 07, 2008 9:32 pm) Absolutely 100% agree.   On one Sunday in mid-December we got about the average of one month's worth of snow in a single 24 hour span in the Golden Horshoe area of southern Ontario. About a foot if I recall.   The VC walked right off my unplowed crescent when most cars wouldn't attempt and those that did were stuck until dug out. I was the first to leave the street.   The very good AWD system and over 8" of clearance made the trek fairly easy. One of my close friends has a Highlander but opted for the 2WD. Not a car guy and still hung up on "Toyota is always wonderful and Korean cars can't be any good". He spent more money than we did. He got stuck that day. Just desserts! I still ride him about it.

Replying to: cjsb (Jan 08, 2008 10:26 am) I'm hearing all of these great reports on the Veracruz's handling of winter conditions. I'm sitting here in Virginia in 70+ degree temperatures. I now own 2 AWD vehicles- we've had accumulating snow a grand total of 1 time in the 3 years I've owned my Honda Ridgeline and nothing since we've owned the Veracruz. It's snowing someplace but certainly not here in the Mid-Atlantic region....

Also drove 5 + 5 hours stretch to DC in a day and still fresh after returning back. drive in rain also cool. luv this CUV.

Replying to: dvinay12 (Jan 10, 2008 7:09 pm) I just got my GLS FWD - live in Chicago and am not entirely confident in the Kumho tires in the snow. Any complaints, and/or what if any modifications did you make? Replies to this message: ibpublic (Jul 10, 2008 4:01 pm) navyair (Sep 01, 2008 11:07 am)

Replying to: busmaster44 (Apr 23, 2008 3:56 pm) I have a 2007 GLS FWD and live in Iowa (so I got more snow than you did). I had a hell of a time with the Kumho's on ice finally after getting stuck in my own driveway on ice I went and bought a set of Michleans (sp) and didn't have any more problems all winter. My Kumhos only had 3500 miles on them but they had to go! Replies to this message: navyair (Sep 01, 2008 11:07 am)

Replying to: ibpublic (Jul 10, 2008 4:01 pm) I'd recommend Nokian WR's for great all weather tires. Have had a set on both a sedan and my Sedona, and just bought a 2nd set for the van when wife ruined 2 tires. Best handling tires in wet conditions or snow that I've ever had. We see a lot of that in the WI/MN area.   You won't run these tires forever...averaged a little over 50k miles, but I'm conservative and replace them well before I'm running on the wear bars.
