Hyundai aims for the Lexus RX 350, hits the Toyota Highlander.

Materials Quality

Like the assembly quality, the materials used in the Veracruz are largely a step above what you see in the vehicle’s competition. Soft touch plastics are on the door sills and dash, even on the center console stack where your knee inevitably rests. The leather is smooth and soft to the touch, and the vinyl supplementing it feels almost as good, with none of the greasiness we often find in other vehicles. About the only downside is plastic pillar covers, made more obvious by the mesh headliner.
