Jack of most trades!

Santa Cruz, great Sport Activity Vehicle. Meets most of our families needs as a primary vehicle for my wife. Seats household of 5 adequately. Safety and handling of AWD. Great for carrying large items, tie down or good chance of sliding.

Great small truck for daily use and fun

If you are looking for a daily driver that's fun, useful and has great style, this is it. You have the flexibility of an open bed with the style and comfort of a small SUV. The ride and comfort are excellent. The audio system is on par with other OEM high end systems. The front seats are especially comfortable, even on long trips. The driving position is solid with good visibility, however the rear seat headrests do hinder the visibility from the rear view mirror. Having the blind spot view camera is a big help. The wet dual-clutch transmission is smooth and responsive and the 2.5T has plenty of power. What it lacks are memory seats and front/rear parking sensors on the limited trim level, which is a miss. This is NOT a full size truck, and it doesn't pretend to be. The bed is small, but useful, with cleats and a rail system built in. The tonneau cover is nice, but mine broke after only a week. I ended up getting it fixed easily. The under bed storage is nice, but smaller than the Ridgeline. Bed lighting is also nice. Overall I really enjoy my Santa Cruz and I'm looking forward to many happy miles.

I feel the overall quality and performance are very good

So far I am very pleased with the Santa Cruz. I like the style and performance of the vehicle. The only thing I think it lacks is more storage up front otherwise I am very happy with it. I think it is the best looking small size truck out there.

Very impressed with quality, comfort, styling and performance.

This is our first Hyundai and we have been very impressed. The vehicle feels and sounds very sturdy while driving. Performance is very sports car-like while still having a comfortable smooth ride. We are really enjoying the driving experience.

Great car great value great experience

I wanted a ford maverick, couldn’t get one. I chose a Santa Cruz instead. No regrets. It’s a beautiful vehicle that’s fun to drive! Would recommend if you are looking for a cross-over with a bit more utility. Not for everyone maybe, but a great vehicle nevertheless.

New Santa Cruz

With only 1500 miles quality and reliability remain to be seen. However initial drives are satisfactory with ride and noise levels adequate. Styling and uniqueness of vehicle was definitely a consideration with the purchase of my 2023 Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz Night

If you are looking a small fancy truck it might be a good choice, but it's not an out door car. Back trunk is too small and almost the same as a SUV. Go to upper trim to have better cruise control ability it docent worth AT ALL. Sound quality for music is terrible. If you get a new car be ready to suffer smell for a while. But it's smooth and easy drive the same as SUV not a truck for job

My new Santa Cruz

My First truck of any type and I am loving it. Everything I could want in a vehicle. Safety features, enough power, comfort and NAV/Music. Want to thank Weisner Hyundai for taking care of me and especially my sales guy Bob Mitchell and my service person Frannie Lancaster.

Great vehicle and smooth ride.

Went looking for a efficient AWD vehicle, and found this Santa Cruz. Very fun to drive and not to big to become awkward in tight spaces. Also happy with the fuel economy of this little truck. Plenty of room in the bed for supplies.

Good buy

Great truck/suv. Hard to see blind spot but the blind spot detectors in mirrors do a good job. The driving assist is pretty annoying and some times it will jerk the handwheel so i recommend turning it off.

Santa Cruz

My Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited is a great vehicle. I am impressed with the performance and the safety features. The fit and finish of the Limited Edition is impressive and comparable to the top of the line vehicles I have purchased in the last 20 years that includes Porsche, Audi, Honda,Ford, and Chevrolet.

Great ride, plenty of comfort

I have been looking at this truck for a year now. I had a 2019 Kona so I really wasn't in the market for a new car. This Santa Cruz is just so cool looking. So many great features. So comfortable and plenty of room front and back. 2.5 liter turbo means plenty of power and 4 different modes of driving is incredibly quick. Mileage is spot on , on the mrsp sheet. Overall I love this vehicle.
