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.

Beautiful vehicle

I bought this Vehicle to replace my 2020 kia soul.. I have been completely satisfied with the Vehicle.. I was wanting a truck but never liked the design or the drive of a regular truck.. this is completely a Vehicle in its own class its like a female truck very beautifully styled lots of class and extras..

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.

Love this vehicle. Great appearance and performance

Had a Ford Maverick on order for over 1 1/2 years with still no promise of delivery. Really needed to replace current vehicle (2006 Dodge Dakota) so started looking for something in the same size class as the Maverick. The San Cruz fit the bill size and feature wise and I could actually find one. Really glad I made the switch.

Great Truck

The only competitor to this truck currently is the Ford Maverick. This looks better, has more towing capacity, and you don't have to wait a year to get it. The price was the same or maybe slightly higher depending upon options chosen, etc. Overall, I like this better than the Maverick. I'm happy happy with my purchase.

9.5 out of 10 in my opinion

Almost everything in a mini-truck I was looking for. Exterior looks sporty and fast, interior is basic but clean. Lots of safety features and techie gadgets. Good head and leg room for the front seats and the storage fits my needs. Truck bed fits two kayaks or 4 bikes easily, we've also use it for camping gear and other random big stuff. Off-road handling has been exceptional - no fishtailing or bouncing like larger pickups. I don't have the turbo but I find the acceleration is more than adequate. Love the FDE color. Only three nitpicks. 1. My family is tall, would love to have about 3-4 more inches of leg room in the back. 2. The computer screen console is a little wide near the bottom. I have to sit farther back than I'd like to avoid my knees hitting the corners (this also decrease leg room in the back). 3. I'd love to see a few more storage options. Our drink holders are almost always full and that leaves virtually no room for other items like phones, change, gum, chapstick etc. Beyond those very minor things. I love the mini-truck.

My brand new car broke down 10 miles from the dealership

My brand new car broke down 10 miles from the dealership. I was on the highway and every light starts flashing - check engine light, oil light, fuel light. Then the gas pedal stops working. Very dangerous to have this happen on the highway. The car had 50 miles on the clock before it was rendered useless.

A very nice looking ride.

We were looking at a different vehicle when we decided it was not what she wanted. Then saw the Santa Cruz and she liked the looks of it and took it for a test drive and decided this is just what she wanted. I also like this one too.

Loved this vehicle

I went just randomly browsing and seeing more of the Santa Cruz on the road. I kept researching looking at prices and was saying for the price I had to have one. And after getting one it’s definitely an upgrade compared to my previous car.

Love this truck! Great gas mileage, comfortable ride, lots of great features and hauling capability. Rides like a car with features of a truck. Easy to drive and handle on the road. Manufacture offers incentives.

AN SUV & PICK-UP COMBINED

This is the perfect vehicle for those looking for an SUV, but desire the option of a small truck bed for hauling. It is comfortable riding, and offers many new safety features not found on other vehicles. The overall styling gives it a great look (unlike a pick-up truck), and along with the performance and electronic features, makes it a perfect vehicle to consider and purchase.

Great little truck

Wanted one since they were announced in 2015, Bought a 2023 and happy I did. After 8,000 miles still love the looks and comfort of this truck. If your wanting one go to Kerry Hyundai in Alexandria KY.

My Wife Was Right

After testing other very good vehicle options, we chose the Santa Cruz. No regrets, the performance is excellent and the overall vehicle construction is very robust. Styling, fuel economy and comfort are all world class for this class of vehicle.
