Santa Cruz

Needs a HUD and power fold mirrors. Other than that the vehicle is quiet, well appointed and looks great. I have already received many compliments on the vehicle. Having a spare tire is a plus and the engine is really powerful.

Have an electrical problem from hell

Bought the Santa Cruz cause I liked the looks and the functionality of it. Believed that Hyundai would be more reliable than ford but I was wrong after the first day. I’ve owned my Santa Cruz for over a month. Unfortunately it’s been at the dealer for the 3 weeks…. It only has 220 miles on it.

It is a great little truck for gardening and landscaping ! NeedsBe prepared to spend a lot of time answering questions about the truck

I have really enjoyed this truck so far and my wife feels the same way!it is a perfect size for an older couple to be able to take care of their truck needs! I would love to be able to get another one when possible

Smooth, Quiet, Comfortable

I love this vehicle so much. I have had it over a month now and it is one of the best vehicles I have ever driven. As expected there is not much space in the backseat and could be more small storage space in the front but the look and feel and everything else about it I love. The mileage is as expected. I average 25mpg

great deal on great car

great car at a reasionable price. the new look of the Santa Cruz is what sold us....It is really sporty and evryone asks us about the car. I never want something that looks like all the other vehicles and this one sure doesnt. Has a lot oget up and go for a 4 cylinder/ This was a case where we were not looking for a car but the look won us over

Great handling and practical for most people.

This vehicle just looks sharp. What I like the most is it's handling. I drove a 2018 Mazda MX5 and have high expectations on vehicle handling. It is no Mazda Miata but it handles a lot better than it really should. Body roll is limited and well controlled. Braking is great with no noticeable nose dive. It handles more like a sport sedan than a SUV. It is also really comfortable on the road. Noice and vibration are lower than most SUV/truck. The only things I don't like about my specific trim is the nonturbo version is underpowered for spirited driving and the lack of option for roof bars. I should have gone with the higher trim.

Well worth the money

Considering that the Santa Cruz is a new model, we were a little skeptical about the vehicle, as most new first year models have a few glitches, or has some minor issues that need to be corrected in production, but this model has none that we have found. We have driven it both in city settings and also on a highway trip, and have had no issues or problems with it. The only thing is that the front seats could be a little longer and more supportive for people with long legs. We bought an after market seat cushion and that has corrected the issue. Many people stop to look at the vehicle, and have asked us many questions about it, from price, comfort, drive ability, to availability at dealerships.

Fun Weekender

I wouldn't have bought this vehicle if I had a daily commute. But for weekend getaways and trips to the hardware store it's perfect. Great fun to drive, gets lots of compliments, and while I wish it was a bit more versatile/fuel efficient it's good for the price point.

Great truck rides drives like a dream

Bought this sel with activity package which is a must if you own this vehicle this makes the vehicle more of a fully loaded type vehicle. They say the turbo engine is a must but Sel with the activity package is a great vehicle

Wonderful.

We are very pleased to be driving a Santa Cruz. We call it "sweety" because it is a sweet drive. So smooth, so well put together, a very safety conscious vehicle, and it is just wonderful. We feel safe, the technology helps us in so many way. Driver assistance, keeping us informed about other vehicles, close, when we sway out of our lane, etc. Couldn't be more happy.

Nice truck, could use improvement

The SC rides smooth but have had some engine stuttering issues. Could use more convenience features. Would love to see front facing cameras as well. The sound system is horrible, but you have to push sound more to rear to get better sound.

Nifty combo

Works like a truck, rides like a crossover. Styling turns heads. Loaded with helpful features. Long drives with ease. Three kid seats fit in the back. Roomy cabin. Bed compact, but still holds plenty.

Fun, comfortable and practical.

I had been following the evolution of the Santa Cruz from the initial prototype announcement a few years ago. Having been a Sonata driver I knew Hyundai was coming up with something innovative and fun to drive. I was disappointed. I've never wanted a huge pick up truck, I don't need one. But every now and then living in Colorado I found myself in need of something that can carry the occasional heavy load or make good use of all wheel drive in the extreme weather conditions. The Santa Cruz is a looker, it is unique and it delivers. The only thing id like to see improved is the gas mileage but that's coming from someone who has only driven sedans up until now. I'm keeping my Santa Cruz for many years to come.

Love my Santa Cruz

Love my Santa Cruz. Beautiful styling, great ride. Powerful engine, what more could I ask for. Every where I go people ask me how I like it and I tell them I LOVE it. It is definitely an eye catcher. I believe this is the best vehicle I have ever owned...

Innovative

The vehicle is mold-breaking in design and concept. It is what they say, a Sport Adventure Vehicle. The feel, ride and overall usage is great. I do not regret the purchase. However, they could have used better interiors, more value for money. The engine could have been stronger or better MPG.

Love my Santa Cruz Limited

I love this vehicle. Well-made, great warranty, and fun to drive. Even came with 20’” Michelins! Great paint job. I had paint protective film installed and will ceramic coat it next. Dealership was good to work with.

great car/truck

I was driving a Toyota Tacoma but since I have a bad knee it was getting difficult to get in and out. I loved the truck but when I saw the Santa Cruz it fit my criteria. Easy in and out and still have the ability to haul when needed
