Vehicle is amazing! But make sure you buy the Turbo

I have had this vehicle for over a year and it is great! I seriously love it. Just wish I would have purchased the Turbo model. Unfortunately, this thing is a little underpowered. I have travelled a lot in my Santa Cruz, almost 15k miles in 1 year.... Trips to the snow and desert and it did great. The non-turbo model will greatly struggle with power when faced with hills or mountains, especially when fully loaded. But Overall, this thing is great!

My Review

Overall, I'm very pleased with this vehicle. No real complaints. It has lots of nice features that I did not expect. It serves well like a truck but drives like a luxury vehicle. Not much more to say.

Highly Versatile vehicle

This vehicle can transport 5 adults comfortably and we can put all our toys and equipment in the back truck bed when going to the beach, tailgating, or just having a day trip to the park. I like to think of this vehicle like a mullet, business in the front, but a party in the back!

Great car/pick-up truck to drive.

This vehicle is great for my needs and overall I could not ask for more at the price I payed for it. That's all your getting.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Good.

There are only three issues. First, I wish it had a CD system. Second, wish it had a moderately larger fuel tank for travel distance. Third, wish a Hyundai dealer was local. The dealer I must travel to for maintenance indicated they would not provide a user vehicle if maintenance required over night or extended hours. They would only provide a rental vehicle. Very, Very disappointing. Has made me do some reconsidering of choice.

Disappointed after just 4 months

Bought a new Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Premium in Chattanooga, TN on August 2022. Was super excited for this vehicle, but have been disappointed several times since purchasing. The fuel (mpg) is horrible, and misrepresented @ 18/20 mpg in SMART Mode!….my old 1997 Toyota T100 truck gets better gas mileage. The total vehicle sound from the radio/navigation/advanced safety system have completely quit while driving almost causing accidents, and the central computer/radio has had to be replaced TWO times already! The advanced safety features were one of the main selling points for me. Heading in the direction of a Lemon Law/Mass Recall situation. Disappointed, and expected more/better from Hyundai in 2022. The bed is an obvious compromise coming from a truck. I also wish there was a place to store my sunglasses…seems like this is standard in most vehicles. At present, this vehicle does have a ton of power.….but will it be reliable in 12mo-60mo, and beyond? The 10 year Hyundai warranty was appealing and provided peace of mind that a company would stand behind their product, but probably nothing more than a marketing scheme by an industry leader.

Great small truck

I always liked the idea of a hybrid truck/car. This meets all those expectations. This is the first truck I’ve owned and it is a perfect choice. It rides like a car. My only critique is that there is a lot to learn for someone my age (74) with the details on the dash. However the screen is easy to read. The truck handles well but I have trouble judging where the front stops and where the bumper (wall, railing,etc.) in front of me starts. I wish there was a front warning system like the back has.

Love my Sports Adventure Vehicle

Great design, one that gets heads turning and thumbs up from other drivers of small and large trucks. I enjoy the ride and the front driver and passenger's room. The back is a little tight. I purchased the vehicle because aI love my smaller cars but needed room for Golf Clubs and tailgating. This is the perfect stylish vehicle.

Looks vs Fuel Economy

I love the looks of the Santa Cruz, inside and out! Fits my needs and lifestyle. But if your looking for good fuel economy, the Santa Cruz needs to work on this. My husband and I do not drive this vehicle hard or fast so getting 18/22 doesn’t match their sticker of 22/27. We took a 4000 miles trip that averaged 22hwy. When Hyundai can get this fixed, I could give this car 5 stars

Owning a Santa Cruz

I have owned this vehicle for a little over a month. It would be premature to write a review with any real deductions. At this point in time, I have driven approximately 1000 miles, and I can say I am very happy with the performance and overall operation of equipment. I realize this is a new product, and look forward to Hyundai using customer input that will make the Santa Cruz as popular as the Santa Fe has become over the years.

Great styling

Love the suv truck style. Lights need update. Rear seats should fold down, should have more leg room in rear, better gas mileage, lower bank rates, spare tire, warning light tailgate open, more storage

A head turner.

We purchased this vehicle for essentially around town use. Its ability to tow 5,000 pounds was important since the bed of the vehicle, by design is small, and there are times we need to tow a trailer. The ride and interior noise levels were smooth and quiet which, frankly, was a surprise. The vehicle just feels and acts sound. I believe that term SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) is an appropriate classification for this vehicle. It is not meant nor should one buy it to replace a pick up truck. But if you are like me, and need something between the SUV and Pick up, this may be just right for you.

A good all-round vehicle

The vehicle's strengths--towing capacity, good performance, reasonable gas mileage and excellent front ingress/egress--is what I sought. The downside of a tight rear seat and slightly difficult rear ingress/egress was not important in my decision. I would like the SC to have a sportier exhaust note, especially in sport mode. Overall, the SC meets my needs for flexible use vehicle.

Great Looking and an Amazing Vehicle

We've had our 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz for a year, it has over 15k miles and has been an absolutely amazing purchase! The cabin is quiet and the ride is smooth. So far there have been zero mechanical issues. There have been some cosmetic issues with the interior door handles peeling apart, but the dealer replaced them. Overall, I highly recommend the Santa Cruz
