Grayson Hyundai Knoxville, ruined my Santa Cruz and Hyundai Customer service would not make the situation right

Hyundai did not fix my vehicle after the Grayson Hyundai in Knoxville, TN left the dipstick out that saturated my engine, engine bay and underneath side of my vehicle making it a fire hazard and completely unreliable by running it low on oil and allowing debris into the engine. They cut the oring on the oil dipstick (I have pics) to place blame on the dipstick rather than make the situation right. Hyundai customer service did not care to fix the situation either. I cannot drive this vehicle with any confidence because it could catch on fire.

Great Truck

Excellent gas milage. Very comfortable ride. Gets looks from almost everyone. So glad I chose it over the Ford Maverick! The truck is perfect for me for what purpose I needed it for. I absolutely love the safety features. I am 100% satisfied.

Hyundai’s Least Bold Offering

The Santa Cruz is simply an ‘okay’ vehicle- it feels like the only risk Hyundai took was the exterior styling. The tonneau cover is very nice and the bed is ample enough for what Hyundai advertises it as. The interior and power train, however, are simply ‘safe’ and the fuel efficiency is a joke for a company with more efficient offerings in other vehicles. The interior is nothing special and while the 281 horsepower is a nice addition, it feels like an unnecessary option for a “Sport Adventure Vehicle”. I would trade that in a heartbeat for a hybrid/PHEV option. As is, I’m trading in for a Rivian in the next few months. The Santa Cruz is a polarizing vehicle based on appearance and Hyundai knew it would be- it’s incredibly different from anything on the road or offered today. I believe that they should’ve embraced that- I can’t think of a reason why this thing couldn’t have been a hybrid offering as well. Be bold, Hyundai!

Beautiful truck but needs more quality on small important details

Interir material details must have higher quality. Outside trims are loose. Screen control from radio turns black randomly. Door films are peeling off . Cabin is loud when driving. Look of this truck is beautiful and so far motor is decent along transmission.

Love my Santa Cruz, Fits Both My Budget & My Lifestyle . . .

2022 Santa Cruz, you get the Bang for the Buck! You get a solid ride, with a tremendous number of safety features . . . which in turn helps your vehicle insurance cost and it is for your safety also, great fuel milage, just enough truck for this guy, plus I get compliments all the time on its color "Sage Grey" & it's sharp looking exterior features, plus I don't know of too many vehicles that come with a built-in cooler, Peace!

Great looking, solid performance.

Stylish vehicle with great performance and surprisingly good gas mileage. Dealer support is more than expected. Interior noise minimal with great layout that is easy to use. Nav system is better than any other I have used.

Great car. Fun to drive

Very stylish. Where ever I go, people tell me, that’s a nice truck. My car gets a lot of attention. I’m always getting thumps up from other drivers on the road. Just wish the MPG was better. Getting only 20MPG on the highway

Good but not great

A nice car overall but has a cheap feel and limited storage capability. Cargo space is small and unable to carry much. The cargo retractable cover takes up a lot of space limiting what can be put in the bed. Can not carry any bikes or building supplies such as lumber. Good for a couple of shrubs and garden bushes as long as you don't need to close the cover.

good vehicle

Good Vehicle, just needed small truck, no longer need full sized truck. Considered other small trucks but had a Santa Fe and liked it, so went with Santa Cruz. I'm older and can no longer load/unload full sized truck.

Great value for the price!

Did not expect the performance, comfort and fun that I am having with this vehicle. My dealership worked with me to get what I wanted even it had to be ordered, it was well worth the wait. Other than a few minor details I would by another one in a heartbeat!

Really attractive vehicle

This is a unique looking small truck. Perfect for my hauling needs when working around my yard. Like the interior car look, but with exterior cool factor. My third new car bought through Hyndai, there design team keeps me coming back.

Fantastic mid sized truck

This truck is perfect, it is all wheel drive and 4 wheel drive when needed, when I need to haul something a little bigger I can open the back of the truck and it's perfect. The color is beautiful and very noticeable.

Good all around vehicle

attracts a lot of attention. good on gas and is perfect for hauling lawncare items. The interior quality is poor and the drivetrain is quirky, as in it shifts a lot and often revs in between long drawn out shifts. handles and drives nice and goes great in the snow

Great small truck

This is a great truck. The styling reminds me of the Subaru Baja or even an El Camino. It drives more like an suv or car vs a truck. It has plenty of cabin space for 4 large adults to fit comfortably. The only con I could think of is the transmission does take some getting used to.
