Very happy with vehicle.

Very happy with vehicle. We had our 2008 Subaru 15 years before buying our Santa Cruz so a learning curve. There are many features that we have not used and probably will seldom if ever use, but we enjoy the vehicle very much. As we are retired and do not drive a lot of miles, we plan that this will be our last new vehicle.

It's a great product

Santa Cruz is a fun vehicle to drive. Works out great for hauling small items also to keep things in the bed secure and safe with the rolling cover. I have the 2023 Santa Crux limited and I like it better than the 300 that it replaced.

Where do I start???

The car has been in the shop more than it hasn't since 6,000. A plethora of computer swaps, a brand new transmission (that didn't solve the issue), and a lack of making it right by Hyundai. If I had to do it again, I would NEVER have purchased this vehicle...what a disaster.

Love my Trucklet

I replaced my Camry and Tundra and downsized to this flexible, fun economic truck..let. It rides like a car but handles like a sports car and yet has all the convenience of a sports truck and short bed. Many convenience features like the trunk under the bed and lots of electronic perks..

Transmission problems

I loved it when I first got it, but within 14421 miles the transmission had to be replaced. Not good. Transmission was replaced and about a week later it's back in the shop per Transmission issues. When I get it back I will be trading it.

Bad Transmission

Good truck except for the transmission and backseat.Hyundai installed (took 6 weeks) used transmission on a brand new truck (7000miles.) Hyundai should have replaced transmission with a brand new one.

Cool Vehicle

I've only driven this vehicle 3k miles on top of the 5.5k miles that was on it at time of my purchase. I can't say anything bad about this particular make year and model other than it's a very cool vehicle and so much fun to have and drive.

Great looking truck!

With only 4000 miles on this truck, we've had 2 problems. Oil cap broken/defective and fixed. Truck bed cover broken, spring sprung and can't get it looked at by dealer for 3 more months! Dealership help is unacceptable.

Great truck

I can't say anything bad about my Santa Cruz, it's just about the best vehicle I have ever owned. Drove it from Indiana to Oregon and back no problems in the mountains or the desert, when I did the same thing in my Jeep Cherokee it felt like the transmission was struggling to keep up.

Transmission

I bought a brand new 2023 santa cruz Limited. Had it for about 17 months, put just under 17,000 miles on it when the check engine light came on, diagnostic code was for the transmission. Took it to the dealer, they put a new transmission in it, covered under warranty. Took the dealer 7 weeks to complete the work, with no updates until about 5.5 weeks after dropping it off. I also had to come put of pocket for a rental vehicle until the dealer could provide a loaner vehicle. Currently awaiting reimbursement for the rental vehicle. Other than that it's a nice truck.

My Vehicle 2023

I am happy at this point of time with my vehicle. You need to lower the Minimum characters required for this summary. If I am that unhappy with the vehicle I would be on the phone and at the dealership all the time.

Un vehiculo con un buen diseño y estilo pero con problemas que no resuelven en el dealer

El vehiculo desde nuevo presenta problemas con la transmisión, se queda sin fuerza. La he llevado 6 ocasiones y dicen que es un comportamiento normal de la guagua. En adición el sunroof tiene problemas, se queda sin funcionar en ocasiones, también la llevé al dealer y dicen que no se presenta nada irregular.

Santa Cruz best ever

My Santa Cruz looks great as evidenced by the number of people who ask me about it. The enginering of the power train is simply inspired on my turbo charged 8 speed Limited vershion. The driving mode selector makes good use of this power train.

Night Edition is great

I love my Night Edition Santa Cruz. The gas milage is great and the truck is not too small or too big to make if fun. I wish I had gotten the leather seats but I got seat covers so that did not become a problem

Absolutely love this truck!

I'm very satisfied with my Santa Cruz Limited. The power from the 2.5L Turbo is more than adequate for spirited driving. The ride and handling is very car like, firm while not being truck like. The interior is quite luxurious, with heated and ventilated leather seats and a heated leather covered steering wheel. There are numerous safety and driver assist features that are standard on the truck. Overall, this is probably the best vehicle that I've owned so far in my life.

Best quality for the price

I absolutely love my Hyundai Santa Cruz! The design is sleek and modern, and the size is perfect for both city driving and weekend adventures. The build quality is outstanding, with attention to detail that really stands out. The interior is comfortable and well-designed, offering plenty of space and a premium feel. The performance is impressive, with a smooth ride and responsive handling. Additionally, the fuel efficiency is quite good for a vehicle of this size. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my Hyundai Santa Cruz and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and stylish vehicle.
