Genesis SUV-I Wish!!!

[salu498]

I wish there was a Genesis SUV.

I haven't seen any mention anywhere about a big (engine wise) SUV from Hyundai. The Kia Borrego (V8) may be as close as you might get at this point.

Nothing wrong with the Veracruz- do they need another?
Tucson, Santa Fe (update next year) & Veracruz...I think not.

I agree. If I were in the SUV market, the Veracruz would be on my list. Not sure what the OP had in mind. I was thinking engines, V8 in particular. If he was thinking of a more upscale SUV, he certainly may be out of luck with Hyundai. If that is in the works, it hasn't been made public.

Kia Borrego has the 4.6L Tau V8 in it.

My guess is new redesigned Sante Fe will have Sonata's twin scroll 274hp+ motor and Veracruz may opt for the Tau.

The Veracruz is a nice SUV but in my opinion, it's exterior is not attractive like some others nor is the interior. I think it needs an overall upgrade or build a Genesis level SUV. I would like a Hyundai that competes with the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, etc.

The Veracruz nose is a bit ugly- a new nip-tuck scaple treatment would do wonders.
Inside- Lexus like.

Isn't the Borrego dead already though? I don't think it's even listed in the vehicle lineup on the Kia website anymore.

Yep it''s dead. If you want one, you need to get it now or look for a pre-owned.

MotorTrend also confirms the demise of the Borrego. It looks like they have mixed feelings. The pluses appear to be durability, minuses are interior/exterior design. So if you don't mind old school styling in and out, it looks like the Borrego might be a good one, if you can find it!

The 2011 Borrego is still available in Canada.
