Hyundai Veracruz: Among The "Best New Family Vehicles"

What does it take to be a certified "best" family car? Does good

engine parts count as one of the major factors? How about the space

and interior features? No matter what factors are being considered

before being proclaimed as one of the best family cars, I'm sure that

the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz had presented a great resume - that's why it

earned the "Best New Family Vehicles" honors from Kelley Blue Book!

The Auto Channel reported that the authorized editors from Kelley Blue

Book picked the 10 best new family vehicles of 2008 by assessing all

factors such as safety, interior space, price, resale value, fuel

efficiency, capability and, importantly, kid-friendliness from a

lengthy list of vehicle entries.

"If you're intrigued by the idea of treating your family to premium

accommodations at mass-market prices, you'll want to check out the

seven-passenger Veracruz mid-size crossover," said Jack R. Nerad, the

executive editorial director and executive market analyst of Kelley

Blue Book's kbb.com. "The quiet, comfortable, well-appointed Veracruz

starts just under $28,000, offers a long list of desirable options and

is backed by a reassuringly comprehensive warranty that includes

100,000-mile powertrain coverage and five-year, 24-hour roadside

assistance."

The Veracruz is outfitted with the following standards:

* A standard 3.8-liter V6 engine

* Third row seats

* AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio(R)/CD/MP3 audio system that includes six

speakers

* An abundance of superior safety equipment

* Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

* Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

* Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
