Santa Cruz

fun to drive. not a lot of other Santa Cruz's out there. Fellow Santa Cruz owners wave when we see each other. Lots of people ask me about my truck. So far it's been a good purchase. Easy to get around town in this truck

Ok

The only two problems that I found so far with 2000 miles on it are first as you start to takeoff it hesitates a little and then everything is normal second the windshield wipers. If you get ice on your windshield you can’t lift them up to get the ice off they hit the hood piss poor design.

As close to perfect vehicle that is currently available today.

Very unique design. The smoothest and quietest truck I’ve driven. Exceptionally comfortable leather seats. The turbo engine is quick and makes it a blast to drive in the city or the highway. The AWD system works great in ice/snow (especially in snow mode). Back seat is roomier than I expected.

Excellent performance after 1000 miles

Santa Cruz provides an exceptionally smooth ride, with easy to integrate tech. The controls are easy to navigate. The trunk has lots of features that give it the ability to perform many of the tasks larger pickups do. My only drawback is the gas mileage does not come close to the Ford Maverick's hybrid.

I am having issues right now that shouldn't be happening. I will be happy to provide an update once I get the issues resolved. I don't have enough words to describe until I get the issues fixed on my vehicle.

Happy with a ‘23 SC. Need time to test durability.

Love my new ‘23 Santa Cruz SE Premium. Its design and features fit my family’s needs exactly. As a manufacturing engineer, I am very aware of form, fit and function and this truck is a level above the competition. The design is unique. It’s feels solid. Interior noise is surprisingly low, even with the roof rack mounted. Handles like a car. The front grill material and design is mo only concern. Time will tell on durability of all components, thus the four star rating and the 9 for recommending completely, however, I highly recommend this class of truck. I am encouraged by Hyundai constantly seeking feedback and striving to improve the quality. I’d be willing to be a reliable and honest checkpoint for continued feedback and ideas for improvement. Hyundai, please dominate this market!

Nice Little Pickup Truck

The truck drives like a car which makes it fun. The technology is awesome specially with the bluelink and safety features and it's unique looks make it a head turner. Plenty of room in the bed to haul some stuff and extra cargo trunk definitely a plus.

Fits our needs

The Santa Cruz is very comfortable and is great on long rides. Can easily do 800 miles in a day. Seats, head room and leg room for the front seats are good. Back seat could use a little more leg room but it is a small truck. It would be nice if the front passenger seat were powered. Storage is good but always could be better.

Don’t Buy from Athens Dealership

Dealership in Athens GA is terrible. Car is great. Buy from another dealership. Signed contract for one price and get a different price from Hyundai Finance. Also have the 90 day delay payment and they invoiced me immediately. General Manager said he would call me back and he never did.

Great Truck, very pleased with the comfort of driving it. Love the automatic tail gate. Has all the bells and whistles you need on it. Would highly recommend if looking for a smaller truck. Automatic bed cover.

Good All Around Vehicle

The Santa Cruz to me at least is a combination car and small truck with the benefit of better gas mileage. The bed has room for my usual stuff needed for household stuff like potting soil and small boxes without the gas guzzling you get from a bigger truck and the car has enough room in the front at lease to be comfortable when going on long trips. The back seats are a cramped but I haven't had anyone use them yet. The Santa Cruz is a good choice for someone who likes something in a jack of all trades without paying an arm and a leg.

Had I know at the time of purchase,I would bought 2.5t

Ok I'm satisfied with my Santa Cruz, haven't taken it on a long ride,I must admit the vehicle is too advance for a car guy 65yrs old , (too much technology) lol 😂,I would recommend that the door for the bed should swing open,to make room for longer objects to lift or extend, make a rear spare tire on to swing door thus making deeper /more space for hidden compartment..

Not too good, since it rusted after 200 miles

I bought the vehicle, I was waiting for Ford Maverick, the 2023 was delayed. I saw this pickup and went to dealer and purchased it. After 200 miles I noticed rust on muffler and tailpipe. Took it to the dealer, they said it is a manufacturing flaws, and is not covered with warranty. Kept my it and returned it in same condition.
