Santa Cruz

What a great truck! I have owned a ford f150 for 22 years and had over 248 thousand miles on it. This small truck is perfect for me and I did many weeks of research including reviews of the santa cruz, and really thought I wanted the ford maverick hybrid truck but could never find one to test drive and dealers were marking up the price by 10 thousand or more. I was able to test drive the santa cruz at hyundai of el paso and within a week sold my camaro (which I loved, but was bound to get in trouble with it) and ordered the santa cruz. Haven't regretted the purchase. Love it. Great truck!!

Outdated

Not worth over 40k. I should have never traded my Tucson. Cheaply made, outdated, not enough room for car seat comfortably, manual seats, no seat memory, should have wireless CarPlay, and much more updated features to be that expensive. The Tucson was way better and I miss it.

Good driving is great, style is great,

Good, drives well, few problems with forward roll when going from park to reverse. Lots of work to set up all features especially if not tec oriented. Still have features I don't know to operate or set up.

Santa Cruz SE

I didn't want a "loaded" vehicle because I typically don't use the extra features while driving, so the SE was a natural choice and other than not having BlueLink available on this model, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Fun, funky and nimble

I have never owned a Hyundai before my Santa Cruz. After a year, I can't imagine why it took me so long! Fit and trim is great along with great pep and styling that stands out! The most unexpected plus has been the great highway handling, comfort and great mileage! Just drive one. No review can prepare you for how fun this vehicle is!

Excellent vehicle fun to drive/comfortable and versatile with the small but useable weather protected bed.

Comfortable enough for long trips but very easy to park and use around town in traffic and small parking spaces. Excellent acceleration with the turbo model making it fun to drive on the highway/do not tell how many words I need to write.

The Santa Cruz was more than what I expected. Love the ride. Love the fact it feels like a car but acts like a truck.

From the first time I saw the Santa Cruz I could not get it out of my head. I knew I was going to have to test drive it. The roominess,the smooth ride, and all the extras that came with it sold me. The ease to use all the interior features is great.

Impressed with the handling and comfort

Super comfortable on longer road trips. Less fatigued on these trips. Handling when raining wonderful and especially at night with the light display. Creature comforts and layout of display screen make easy adjustments

SantaCruz

Vehicle styling is extra ordinary. could have got better built quality for this price point. Lack some basic features and predelivery inspection was bad. safety features were practical and good. dealership experiance could be improved.

Loving my ride so much I look forward to going to work!

The Santa Cruz is such a fun vehicle to have. It is comfortable, stylish and gets great gas mileage. I have never owned a brand new vehicle before and am so in LOVE with this car/truck. If you are looking for something that can fit all your needs, this is it.

For me it’s a great daily car. Very happy with my purchased got a lot of compliments from friends and family. Suspension is really comfortable on bumpy roads, handles very good on twisty roads, nice 10’ digital gauge display.

SEL premium

A great little truck that drives like a car but offer much more. Turbo has enough power, even though there is a definite turbo lags. When I drive conservatively, I could get > 25 MPG but usually I get 23. After 6000 miles of driving, no issues, reliable, no rattle. Happy with the purchase.

This is a great car

This is certainly no the car I thought I would end up driving off the lot, but I'm glad I did. I was looking to trade my car in for something newer and more reliable. I definitely found that with my Santa Cruz.

Phantom Black Santa Cruz

I love everything about this vehicle, comfort, quality, design, technology. The very best part about this vehicle is it’s easy to park. The Lane assist is flawless. I love the cameras that assist on entrance ramps to the highway. I feel safe in this vehicle.

this survey is to long

the Sant Cruz is a beautiful truck it is very built very well it really feels like you are driving a more expensive vehicle. If I had to buy another one I would get the turbo version with led headlights.

Great looking UT

I wasn't going to purchase another Hyundai but the styling of the Santa Cruz won me over. I'm definitely concerned about the longevity of the engine and electrical components though. My previous new Hyundai was only 2 years old and the engine went even though I'd already brought it in for the recall previously

Hyundai Santa Cruz is a remarkable vehicle and truly lives up to it's name. I love it. It has all the amenities of a truck for what I need it for

Hyundai Santa Cruz is definitely a remarkable vehicle. We had wanted the turbo but it was priced way too much as even our VW Beetle came with Turbo. We had put twelve thousand down and bought the extended maintenance for four thousand more and financed like 28000. However, disappointing as turbo is necessary in this day and age we love our Hyundai Santa Cruz.
