Great compact truck

I have owned the Santa Cruz SEL Premium for about a month and am very pleased with the vehicle. I would strongly recommend purchasing the bed mat and the bed extender accessories as it add a lot of functionality. I am very surprised with the ride comfort and handling of the vehicle. I purchased this truck for mostly doing maintenance work around the house and running errands but find it too much fun to drive. my other vehicle that I use as a daily driver is a BMW 740E which I bought new in 2019. This vehicle is almost as quiet as the BMW. glad I purchased the Santa Cruz with the SEL Premium trim.

Wonderful Vehicle

We are so very happy with the purchase of this new vehicle. Our first new car in 17 years has proven to be a winner. Everything about this car, or truck, or whatever you wanna call it is exceptional. It has the feel and drive of a sports car, hit the utility of an SUV, and the practicality of a pick up truck. We have not regret it this purchase at all.

love it

Very easy to drive, easy to get into, rides like a car, but has the bed for large items, has good power for its size, very economical, just a sharp looking vehicle and fits my needs perfectly. not a bad choice as a second vehicle

This car is the future of the car market

This sport adventure vehicle is right on time. Quality,style and dependability. It is at the very top of the heap the other small truck will not back up with a ten year warranty. Nor is it as ford has a lot of recalls prove. I am a retired Ford dealer. Sant Cruz is at the top of styling, durability and quality it will last years and years. everybody loves my Santa Cruz. Best buy in my last ten years Buy it you will love it

Santa Cruz

Only issue is the wireless carplay. I had a Tucson that was wired carplay and worked fine. I wish wireless carplay was just an option on the SE and not the only option. Other than that the car is great and very practical

Great Vehicle better than listed miles per gallon.

Just what I needed. Great Look, plenty of Pep, and easy to drive. It has all the features I needed. It is listed for fuel mileage as 21 city 25 highway but I am getting around 25 - 30 MPG City. It is a great truck.

Outstanding vehicle!

I have previously never considered buying a Hyundai before but this has definitely been a good choice. The comfort and economy has made it easily one of the best vehicles I ever purchased new. I would highly recommend the Hyundai Santa Cruz to anyone wanting a small truck Crossover type vehicle that not only works great as a light hauler but also performs well on a long road trip. I am very happy with our purchase.

Excellent MPG for a truck!

I have owned the Santa Cruz for almost a month now and everything has been great. I have hauled dirt and rocks in the bed and both times averaged 32 MPG highway. In the city I usually average 27 MPG. The base model, non-turbo, has sufficient power to overtake on the highway and has lots of pep in the city.

New Santa crew

Love my Cruck. Not sure what you need this probably is it. Not a truck but not a car but satisfies both needs equally. Plus looks nice while you do it. Perfect for any climate or setting County or city equally

I liked the styling and the warranty

I liked the styling and the warranty. It turns heads. I bought the first mustang ford in 1964.People always stopped me and admired the new styling. The same goes with the Santa Cruz. Makes me feel good.

Best of both worlds!

It's not a traditional car and its not a traditional truck. It's truly the best of both in one. Easy to drive around and useful to have. Best warranty and standard safety features makes it worth every penny. Will definitely be getting another one!

A unique and feature-filled vehicle.

The unit is both uniquely designed and actually available from a dealer. Also looked at a Ford Maverick, but could not even test drive one at any dealer within 100 miles of home. Glad we tried the Santa Cruz as it has proven to be better than anticipated and more economical than the EPA ratings show, Overall, a great buy for us.

Map and Navigation is not consistent.

I paid over 42,000 dollars for a new vehicle that had less than 1000 miles on it as I drove it off the lot. Less than one month in as I left my neighborhood. As I turned right out of the neighborhood I was informed that "wrong way detected, please check the map. I looked at the map and although I was literally heading due south the map showed me heading west. I continued to be incorrect and continued to tell me I was going the wrong direction. I have taken the vehicle in a couple of times and the dealership has shown no interest in having anyone look at it. Although this may seem like a small issue, it is very frustrating to have this happen and it is not on a regular basis, but happens intermittently, but often enough that I feel like it shoulb be fixed.

Versatility, comfort, & Safety.

We were looking for vehicle we could haul things like tools, luggage, sporting goods, or appliances; tow a small self contained camper with all the gear; and comfortably travel on our long distance trips to visit family and friends. This vehicle had it all with all the important safety features that we wanted for such adventures.

Hyundai customer service is terrible. Hyundaicustomerservicehastakenthefunoutofthenewvehicleexperience. . They take your money and forget about you

Nice vehicle. Hyundai customer service has taken the fun out of the new vehicle experience . I like the vehicle but Hyundai takes your money and forgets about you. I have had my vehicle for four months and still the blue link doesn't work. I can't get anybody to help me. This issue has become very aggravating

Best new car I’ve owned

The funnest vehicle I’ve ever owned. Overall value, warranty, customer service are all completely above and beyond with Hyundai. The value of the technology is stupendous, compared to similar brands and models.

overall good ride

This is a good all-around vehicle. The wife can use it during the week for daily transportation needs. The interior is pleasant, and the ride is smooth. The husband can use it to haul materials for his light DIY projects on the weekends.
