My Santa Cruz SEL Premium is better than most therapists :)

The Santa Cruz SEL Premium is a tech loaded, practical, sporty, comfortable vehicle... frankly, buying it from Jim Click my local Hyundai dealer, and owning and using is the most enjoyable vehicle experience of my life, and I've had many. The purchase experience was fair, professional, informed, and stress free. As to the vehicle itself, I love everything about the Santa Cruz, but here are the stand-outs: I love the voice command enabled nav system to find addresses... I no longer worry about finding or navigating to destinations. I love the lane keep, following distance, cruise control combination... that has noticeably reduced a lot of the stress of driving for me. I love the flawless Bluetooth integration with my phone... super convenient, and again stress reducing. I love the hands-free voice command capability for calling and dictating texts... did I mention stress reducing? The bed adds practicality that meets my hauling needs perfectly... I've hauled dogs, a hide-a-bed couch, a recliner, entertainment center, groceries, yard supplies (not all at the same time, lol).

Fun

Fit and finish is outstanding. Feels very comfortable and safe while driving and has a solid feel. Touch screen is new to me but i am adapting. Get the Sage gray color option, wish it was a color that didn't cost extra but have no regrets. People compliment on the color choice. Overall, very happy with my purchase choice of the turbo version.

Great Vehicle

In general I am very satisfied with my Santa Cruz and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small truck/car/SUV. I like the style and the way it drives as well as how versatile can be. Is like having 3 vehicles in one.

Santa Cruz -Love it

Love this vehicle. We get tons of compliments and rides like a dream. Would recommend spending a little more to get the features you really want. We were going to get the base model but for $3k more …worth all the extras.

Great ride!

Santa Cruz is an excellent vehicle for anyone. Easy to drive, smooth ride and great pick up with the turbo. Clearly, Hyundia spent time refining this vehicle . The Santa Cruz is a vehicle with stay power so we should see this model last like the Santa Fe and the Tuscon.

2023 santa cruz

Overall excellent vehicle. Has a few minor things that need looked at. Interior trim is hard to keep clean and transmission at times will search for the right gear. Great pricing and is very fun to drive.

Santa cruz

I really like the vehicle the only thing i do not like is that it uses way more gas than my other vehicle so unfortanately i pay alot more for gas to go back and forth to work. Also i dont like the yellow headlights i would rather have the white led lights.

Love the ride

we purchased our Santa Cruz from Medford Hyundai in Oregon, we dealt with a David Struble, he was awesome to work with and made everything go very smoothly. The vehicle is so comfortable and quiet to ride in, we went over some rough road on the way home and didn't even feel it. We recommend this vehicle and the dealership to anyone who's looking for a vehicle. When the time comes for another vehicle that's where we'll go and we'll be getting another Hyundai. Such amazing vehicles to ride in and awesome features.

Awesome

I love it, it’s very confortable, drive smooth it has the power I need, it’s a little cute pick up truck that looks like an expensive truck, love the sunroom, it is very soft that it doesn’t feel like I’m driving a pick up truck.

The New El Camino

This vehicle is like an upgraded version of the old El Camino. It's a car with the functionality of a truck, it's AWD so it can go to the beach. It has a towing capacity of 3500 so it can tow a jet ski border small camper trailer. It's the perfect vehicle for those that like adventure and style.

Research and Test Drives Put the Santa Cruz as the Leader for Small Pickups.

If you are in the market for a small pickup, then the Santa Cruz is the best bang for your buck. I looked at the Ford Maverick and Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Honda Ridgeline (the other midsize pickups were not competitive in features or performance). I kept coming back to the Limited Santa Cruz. The Limited is loaded with features and utilizes storage space well (but not as well as the Ridgeline. The 2.5L AWD Turbo Engine/Transmission sounds like an old Beetle Volkswagen BUT the turbo can get UP and GO! (better than all the other pickup trucks I test drove). The switchable AWD is also a nice feature. The LED lights are also a plus for me when driving a night. Cooled seats in the Limited are a nice feature for those hot drives. This smaller pickup truck has only a 4'x4' truck bed but is easy to get into and I can still park it in the garage where my old sedan was parked. There are room for improvements to get a 10 across the board but this sporty small truck always gets second looks and is fun to drive.

Perfect vehicle for any homeowner

Just over 2500 miles on my SC and I love it! Super comfortable, awesome entertainment system, quiet ride, decent gas mileage, and super useful when your working on projects at home. I can haul 2x4’s or paneling or a dishwasher or pack the bed with stuff for a long weekend trip. I’m really glad I got this truck. Also good for every day commute. Lots of cubbies to store stuff and the cup holders are perfectly placed. The safety systems keep me from getting into trouble. So far very happy!

Excellent car for features and price

Surprised over the technology this vehicle has. The instrument cluster is full color and digital. The safety features of this vehicle seem to be top notch with nothing left to implement. Also the vehicle seems to be very well constructed and solid.

Yes, Virginia, Hyundai makes a truck!

I've been wanting a truck for a few years now, but didn't want to give up my Hyundai vehicle (2018 Elantra Gt). I love Hyundai cats because you get a lot of vehicle for the money! When I found out they have a truck now, I just had to go check it out. I'm glad I did!
