Unhappy

This car suffers from a faulty transmission at less than 1000 miles. Dealership claims they can't diagnose the problem even though it is a known issue. I went from a perfectly good paid for older car to a new car with high payments that I can't trust. Truly disappointing.

This car is very stylish and it doesn't feel like I am driving a truck more like SUV feeling. Fuel efficiency is one of the best feature. Big display is a big plus. Very quiet inside while driving even I am going over 70 mph.

I Love it

This is a great ride, stylish and fun. We were researching these when they were still concept cars for Hyundai. We wanted a small pickup and looked at serval different trucks. We love the spacious room of this truck, and the bed with locking cover is a bonus

The dealership was very responsive and accomodating.

I bought this Santa Cruz in Florida and drove it back 750 miles back home to Tennessee the very next day. I have made this trip many times over the last 50 years and will have to say this was the most enjoyable one in many years. The comfort level and ease of driving was beyond my expectations. I was very impressed with the comfort and feel of safety on the drive home. Also the Highway Driver Assist is awesome.

Fun to drive

Very proud to to the SantaCruz. Stylish. Drives and handles better than my suv. With gate extender able to haul everything I need. The safety features like blind spot warning work as designed and makes you a safer driver. The turbo engine out performs my previous suv in going up hills. Always enough acceleration capabilty

Love hate relationship

I love my new weird little truck, but I hate that I had to pay $5000 over sticker price and then was in the hole $10k immediately. Not really impressed with the interior quality or the sliding bed cover, which is thin plastic and I expect issues with it failing. Engine has very little power going up steep hills or merging. I was afraid to buy the turbo engine after oil cooling issues in my Velostar, which I traded in on this Santa Cruz.

Moody

Love. Bed needs to be longer just the the silverado EV. Where people could actually sleep into the santa crew. That would make the truck more useful and more fun to drive foe everyone. And sell better .

Santa cruz

Great vehicle, different from anything out there with great styling and plenty of safety features. Utility is great for outdoor activities. Handle like a sport sedan rather then a suv. Gas mileage is average but engine has plenty of power for some spirited driving.

Great compact pickup

Stylish little pickup, great for home improvement runs. Great safety features, excellent ride quility. And the engine has zip to it. The stone blue color is beautiful. If you live in a city and need a vehicle with a abed look no further.

Good Choice

I wanted to try out the “new” Santa Cruz. Although it was difficult to locate exactly what I wanted … color, AWD, dealer location, etc., I finally located all three factors. I highly recommend this car. It has the convenience of extra storage like a pickup and the luxury of an SUV.

Fun

The title for this vehicle is the definition of it. An adventure vehicle. If fits perfectly if you have an outdoors life style. Me personally I enjoy mount biking. So it fits perfect with my lifestyle.

Love My Truck

This is the perfect size truck. Roomy cab, not overwhelming bed size and looks classy. The power of take off and hauling is amazing. Traveling in the mountains hauling rock was a breeze. We even fit 5 adults in the cab for a day out of town. Thank you !!!!

Great little truck.

Easy to drive and fuel economy is great! The paint quality is poor - paint on hood has two to the metal chips after only one week of freeway driving. Thete are also other all scratches and bubbles.

Style and Substance.

There's nothing else on the road that looks like a Cruz. I doubt many ride as well or are as versatile. I don't need a traditional truck. This is the Perfect "truck" for active "non truck" people.
