Santa Cruz is FUN to drive

bought the truck because I wanted something smaller than a silverado. I was looking at the F*rd M*veri*ck, but Santa Cruz won my decision. I got the Phantom Black and it has a slight metallic blend to it. Smooth drive, bells/whistles! It feels like I am driving a large car vs. a small truck, but that was my goal. I recommend the Santa Cruz to anyone that is looking to sit in a "head turning" vehicle. Too many awesome features to list. The bed has an automatic hard top (slides vs. rolls up). So many options in the bed itself and having a TRUNK in the bed is crazy fun. Please buy this truck! I would get one for my son who is 18 if I could afford it.

Santa Cruz

First 2000 miles it has been a great experience, during the engine startup u hear the engine like it takes a minute for the oil to get the engine parts after that it seems good, I hope it doesn’t affect the engine life

Love my Ride

Needed a vehicle that did it all for this 67 year old active grandmother. The Santa Cruz does it and just fits in with my lifestyle. My grandson thinks it's cool and doesn't mind driving me around if I want him to and he's even 22 so past the age to want to chauffer his grandmother. I love to kayak and fish and this is just right for that. Gas mileage is great and that is a huge plus. All the bells and whistles and makes life easy.

Contact with bluelink customer service is a data collection mechanism

The dealership activated and created a bluelink account without my knowledge or consent. When I discovered and revealed bluelink is a tracking mechanism and all the problems involved, a response tells me to contact bluelink customer service. Oh I just wish it was that easy. Per the bluelink TOS, if I call bluelink customer service, I agree to them collecting data from me DURING that call, to include biometrics, voice print any and all data you can get to add to the overreaching dossier that your TOS directs you will create. So the dealership illegally gave my consent without my knowledge and consent, they activated the bluelink and every day that goes by there is further injury and further invasion of my privacy. The dealership can’t deactivate it Hyundai customer care won’t do anything except tell me to call bluelink like the response. I wonder if the person responding has ever even read the TOS? if they had they would realize my whole issue is the right to privacy and I’m not gonna give it up by calling bluelink customer service when your TOS says you will collect all possible data from me to add to the dossier, if I do. No the dealership illegally activated it and you are illegally invading my privacy by tracking me. The dealership or Hyundai has the duty to to deactivate it, as they illegally activated it impersonating me. Otherwise, I will have to move forward with legal remedies.

A comfortable beast

Best of both worlds when you need your daily driver to be comfortable, quiet, drive and handles like an SUV and have equal fuel economy. But once or twice a month you need to carry something around that you would not want to or could not fit in the back of your car.

I really liked the reviews on my Santa cruz

I did a long study on the Santa Cruz , and it does not disappoint, the vehicle’s handling in servere weather was excellent, traction control was great, off road capabilities were okay, vehicle does need a little more clearance.

Awesome vehicle

Was interested in the elusive Ford Maverick. Saw the Santa Cruz, checked it out, took a test drive and loved it. We really haven't drovecit enough to be familiar with all its features and again for rating it, Hyundai should do a yearly survey. This would give them a better feedback to it's owners likes and dislikes.

Great car with great looks

This vehicle is pretty cool. Fun to drive and great to look at. I get a lot of compliments from passerbys, passengers, and friends that have driven it. The only downfall I have is that the pick-up bed could use more tie-down points regardless of trim.

good service at dealership.

This vehicle has met my expectations and I am very pleased with vehicle. It is good to see a auto maker make a vehicle that offers more than just a carbon copy of vehicles made by other manufactures. The vehicle is fun to drive and no complaints at this time.

Don’t like it!

I don’t like it cause it uses a lot of gas. Their is a lot of things they don’t have in the interior. No CD player, no place to put your sunglasses. A lot of wasted space on the dashboard. No a/c or heat in the rear. No speakers in the rear. Etc

Bluelink is a tracking mechanism

The dealership activated the bluelink without my knowledge or consent. No one explained to me how bluelink consent allows them to track your Geo location 24/7 And your driving behavior as well as create a Dossier on you including public and nonpublic information, things that would scare you they will release your information without a subpoena or warrant based on an informal investigation. Driving a blue Link equipped car is tantamount to giving away your fourth amendment right and allowing them to compile information about you in a database that surely is less secure than many that have been breached. Read the TOS and privacy policy.

Santa Cruz

Vehicle is ok. Not going to keep it. Will sell it in couple of months. Vehicle is not worth the money I paid for it. Most probably I wouldn’t be buying another Hyundai. Bed cover is not available to buy it. That’s the main reason I won’t be keeping the vehicle.

Great vehicle but has issues

First of let me say that I think this is a really good vehicle. Great design, and the 2.5 turbo has plenty of power. Unfortunately mine has an intermittent engine/ electrical failure that causes it to loose any acceleration and lights up the dashboard with safety feature failure warning ⚠️ lights. Once you can pull over and turn off the vehicle and then restart it, everything is OK again until the next time which can be 2 days or 2 weeks.

Great

Except for the screen and climate control, the Santa Cruz is an excellent vehicle. I wish I could have afforded the SEL Premium,I can't think of anything else. The turbo and tonneau top for the bed of the Santa Cruz would have been nice, but it was too much, cost-wise in my opinion. It should have been standard.

Engine control system failure

Bought it new and already in the shop with 1100 miles and 2 weeks later it is still there. I am very disappointed with the vehicle and the poor service I am receiving from the Hyundai dealership. I will not recommend hyundai again
