As part of the Veracruz launch, Hyundai provided three-row versions of the Honda Pilot and current Toyota Highlander for comparison. We can say that the Veracruz and Pilot beat the Highlander, though a slight edge goes to the Pilot. The curved roofline limits the Veracruz’s rear head room a bit, and the third row feels tighter overall. But, that’s for adults – average-size kids would be fine. The second row tilts and slides forward for easy entry, but again that sloped roofline hurts ingress, as does the intruding wheel well. Third-row headrests are provided and the seatbacks tilt. Furthermore, rearmost passengers get two cupholders, a small storage cubby, and a 115-volt outlet that allowed me to charge my laptop while writing this article.
