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

Secondary Controls

Press the buttons on the Veracruz and you’re greeted with the tactile sensibility of a luxury car. We especially like the treatment given to the controls for the power seat; not only are they beefy in your hands, but they’re trimmed in the same faux-titanium plastic found on the dash, a nice touch for something that most drivers won’t even look at very often. The only downside was the slightly glossy sheen on some of the controls – mainly those on the door – which we felt were beneath the image Hyundai wants to project with this car.
