According to a report in Ward s Auto the pale fortunes of the soon-to-depart Hyundai Veracruz are not stopping Hyundai from considering another dedicated seven-seat crossover. though the new Santa Fe can usher in a very long-wheelbased sibling that may seat seven, Hyundai Motor America CEO John Krafcik advises Ward's to "stay tuned for future details on a possible premium crossover" that would be a fanatical – read: Veracruz replacing – CUV for seven.
The question is, what will "premium" mean? The word was applied to the Veracruz however customers did not specifically obtain it, cross-shopping the Veracruz with mass-market competitors. Ward's uses a barn-sized brush to get out the competitive set for this future CUV, from the $18,995 Dodge Journey(!) to the $46,250 Audi Q7. that is a boggling vary, the prime takeaway being that no matter it's are clearly a lot of "premium" than the Veracruz. in keeping with Ward's, "Hyundai has expressed a need to use the rear-wheel drive platform underpinning its premium Genesis and Equus sedans for different models, probably CUVs."
Just as necessary for the instant is that Hyundai believes there is a fight it will still win within the arena of huge crossovers.
