Love it

First, I want you to know that before I purchased my Santa Cruz I hadn't seen anything that I really loved. I really love the Santa Cruz, and apparently lots of others as well. I get compliments everytime I'm out. People love the look and color, and say they never saw my truck before. They then ask if it's a new model? I know the Santa Cruz is still pretty new to the truck scene, and I love it. Great job Hyundai!

Fun and useful

I thought that replacing a Honda Ridgeline with a smaller truck would cause me to make concessions about how much I could carry in the bed. Surprisingly, the Santa Cruz allows me to carry as much as the Ridgeline. I purchased a bed fence for whenever I need the extra space. Also, four adults are very comfortable in this vehicle. I made a great choice!

Great compact truck

Gave the Santa Cruz a look after not being able to get a Ford Maverick Hybrid anywhere. Glad I went with the Santa Cruz. It's a much nicer vehicle over all. More.stylish and comfortable. The Turbo engine really has some.kick and it's a fun drive.

Santa Cruzification!

This is the BEST vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned many. I don't need a full size truck and this Santa Cruz is the best blend between truck and comfortable sedan. There are too many features to list here but my main favorites are all of the safety features. Cameras and alert sensors everywhere that display and/or react to my driving mistakes and the mistakes of other vehicles. Hyundai wraps all that around a spacious, comfortable, well designed awesome interior and exterior lines. All of the technical features are well designed and easy to navigate either from the touch screen or the steering wheel controls. There's too much to list and it drives like a dream. I highly recommend the Santa Cruz to anyone who may be interested in this class of vehicle. You won't be disappointed!!

2023 Santa Cruz

I have owned my Sage Green 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz for 3 months now. I have found it to fit the needs of my lifestyle perfectly! I can fit four adults & four sets of golf clubs easily. I also find it to be perfect for a four person trip to the nearby beaches! I am more than happy not to fill the back of our Santa Fe up with sand from the beach now that I have my Santa Cruz! It is very enjoyable to drive and I love the safety features that come stock with my SEL model. I haven't had a truck for over 10 years and this is as close as I want to be since this drives more like a car!

Awesome vehicle

Get compliments every week in this truck. Very fun to drive. Rugged truck feel and futuristic styling outside. Extremely comfortable inside and rides like a cloud. All the comforts of an SUV but with the benefits of a pickup bed!

Great looks and work great

It was a great idea that Hundai created a mix of SUV and pickup. The price is still on the right range for someone that want a powerful pick up but dont have 100k. the interior and flatbed has great spaces. Runs very smooth.

Towing capacity is deceptive.

The vehicle is great unless you want to tow the advertised 5000lb towing capacity. You need to add a brake controller that Hyundai does not make to tow more than 3500 lbs. The dealer also says if you add the aftermarket brake controller it voids the warranty.

The Santa is pleasurable to drive.

I was in the auto parts business for about 45 years. It was not difficult to tell which vehicles required the least amount of replacement parts. In the past 20 years I was devoted to Toyotas. I saw the Santa Cruz when at a gas station and was quite interested. Now, I am a proud owner.

Nicely built. East to drive

Nice vehicle to own. Vehicle is solidly built with good styling. Easy to drive. Even without the turbo, the car picks up very nicely and swiftly. Lane assistance works beautifully. Visibility is good. Lots of cargo space.

Very easy and nothing too complicated

Very nice vehicle. We wanted a SUV and a truck.. so thats why cruz was fitting the requirement. Sometimes we wish we had bigger bed. Dealership experience was easy. Car is expensive but its filling all the requirements we were lookling for.

Santa Cruz Night edition ALL BLACK

Great vehicle if you are looking for a compact truck with great gas mileage and style! Drives like an SUV but has the attitude of a truck! The Night edition provides a sporty look that will definitely turn heads!

My friends call it a cark

This is now my daily driver/ I like that it rides and drives like a car and has some truck capability. The technology has been great. No knobs on the dash, which I hesitated on, but now treat it like a smartphone.

Why don’t the wind shield wipers extend fully upward?

Super fun to drive, and gets great fuel, not sure why Hyundai made the decision to not give every vehicle a tonneu cover or at-least aftermarket the original. My only complaint, and why is the icon for turning the air off larger than max air

A good alternative to the Ford Maverick

Nice size truck, I wish you had a hybrid engine with better gas mileage. Then the truck would have been perfect. I tried to buy a Ford Maverick hybrid, but none were available and the wait to buy one was too long.

Sweet as Sugar

Just can’t get enough of this vehicle-everything I love about it. There is the getting stopped at gas station pumps or grocery store shoppers hanging around to ask about what kinda car is this as they often call it ‘Sharp’ car.

Santa Cruz Review

Researched the market thoroughly and test drove a few of the different choices. The Santa Cruz provided all of the features and functionality that I was looking for. It stands up to my expectations well.

Overall experience of the site and location was quick

Seat material does pull your hair all the time, and not may options for color display. Also gas runs through the car very quickly and even in regular mode and not sport mode I am running through a tank of gas a week.
