I had great experience.

I am having issues right now that shouldn't be happening. I will be happy to provide an update once I get the issues resolved. I don't have enough words to describe until I get the issues fixed on my vehicle.

Happy with a ‘23 SC. Need time to test durability.

Love my new ‘23 Santa Cruz SE Premium. Its design and features fit my family’s needs exactly. As a manufacturing engineer, I am very aware of form, fit and function and this truck is a level above the competition. The design is unique. It’s feels solid. Interior noise is surprisingly low, even with the roof rack mounted. Handles like a car. The front grill material and design is mo only concern. Time will tell on durability of all components, thus the four star rating and the 9 for recommending completely, however, I highly recommend this class of truck. I am encouraged by Hyundai constantly seeking feedback and striving to improve the quality. I’d be willing to be a reliable and honest checkpoint for continued feedback and ideas for improvement. Hyundai, please dominate this market!

Nice Little Pickup Truck

The truck drives like a car which makes it fun. The technology is awesome specially with the bluelink and safety features and it's unique looks make it a head turner. Plenty of room in the bed to haul some stuff and extra cargo trunk definitely a plus.

Fits our needs

The Santa Cruz is very comfortable and is great on long rides. Can easily do 800 miles in a day. Seats, head room and leg room for the front seats are good. Back seat could use a little more leg room but it is a small truck. It would be nice if the front passenger seat were powered. Storage is good but always could be better.

Don’t Buy from Athens Dealership

Dealership in Athens GA is terrible. Car is great. Buy from another dealership. Signed contract for one price and get a different price from Hyundai Finance. Also have the 90 day delay payment and they invoiced me immediately. General Manager said he would call me back and he never did.

Suz

Great Truck, very pleased with the comfort of driving it. Love the automatic tail gate. Has all the bells and whistles you need on it. Would highly recommend if looking for a smaller truck. Automatic bed cover.

Good All Around Vehicle

The Santa Cruz to me at least is a combination car and small truck with the benefit of better gas mileage. The bed has room for my usual stuff needed for household stuff like potting soil and small boxes without the gas guzzling you get from a bigger truck and the car has enough room in the front at lease to be comfortable when going on long trips. The back seats are a cramped but I haven't had anyone use them yet. The Santa Cruz is a good choice for someone who likes something in a jack of all trades without paying an arm and a leg.

Had I know at the time of purchase,I would bought 2.5t

Ok I'm satisfied with my Santa Cruz, haven't taken it on a long ride,I must admit the vehicle is too advance for a car guy 65yrs old , (too much technology) lol 😂,I would recommend that the door for the bed should swing open,to make room for longer objects to lift or extend, make a rear spare tire on to swing door thus making deeper /more space for hidden compartment..

Not too good, since it rusted after 200 miles

I bought the vehicle, I was waiting for Ford Maverick, the 2023 was delayed. I saw this pickup and went to dealer and purchased it. After 200 miles I noticed rust on muffler and tailpipe. Took it to the dealer, they said it is a manufacturing flaws, and is not covered with warranty. Kept my it and returned it in same condition.

Never thought I'd say this, but...I love my truck.

I agonized before buying. Zero regrets. I love the color, and the functionality, and the trim package, and I love how I now have a vehicle that drives like an SUV, but delivers like a truck. Thank you, Hyundai!

I enjoy the driving the Santa Cruz. The use of the truck box is great!

I had a Hyundai Sonata for the past 17 years and really liked it. I was looking for a small truck and Hyundai had the Santa Cruz, which will fit my lifestyle since I go the city dump quite a bit and can get at least 4 containers in. I'm sure I'll enjoy this car/truck for years to come.

Love the Santa Cruz. Glad I purchasedit.

I've been looking at the Santa Cruz since it came out. Loved the looks and concept. When I decided to start the buying process, I went online and couldn't find a bad review. My wife absolutely loves it. Win Win for me.

Overall good vehicle

I love everything about this vehicle. The only negative of this vehicle is the comfort of the seats on a long distant trip. The look of the vehicle is great. The performance is also wonderful. But wish I could only choose different seats that are more comfy.

Head Turner

Beautiful vehicle. Constantly gets looks and compliments. Modern technology and design. Not the best gas mileage, but smooth ride. Acceleration is a little choppy at times, but great vehicle none the less.

Santa Cruz Limited

I had many vehicles. Usually a truck and sporty car or a truck and an suv. The Santa Cruz combines all that into one cool vehicle. Performance of a sporty car, ride of an suv and utility of a truck made this a no brainer for me. The icing on the cake is the cool look of the SC. People stop me all the time to ask about it. I have to say its the best all in one package I've ever seen for someone who only wants to maintain one vehicle.

Like a modern day El Camino

The Santa Cruz is a wonderful modern car, that feels like driving a sporty car, but is easy to get in & out of, and has a small truck bed like an old El Camino. That allows you to haul large items that won't fit in a trunk, without needing a full size truck.
