Early prototypes of the Veracruz not only had to please the eye, they had to withstand test drives of over 100,000 miles, through some of the ugliest conditions on the planet. The vehicles were disassembled and parts were inspected under a microscope, looking for insights that could enhance quality and reliability. The result is a vehicle worthy of a 100,000-mile warranty.
Minimal variations in body panel gaps are any car manufacturer’s true sign of build quality. Each Veracruz is scanned with lasers calibrated to detect variances of less than a millimeter. If gaps are too wide—thus causing excessive wind noise—or there are any other aberrations in body alignment, we’ll find and fix them.
