The base GLS gains more standard features, including a power driver's seat, rear parking sensors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, and automatic headlights. New GLS options include a navigation system and an Infinity Logic 7 stereo. Six new colors are also available.

Swooping curves and two-tone bodywork define the Veracruz, which emulates styling themes set by Hyundai's other crossovers, like the Santa Fe.
