Great Truck

The Santa Cruz is a great compact utility truck. It is loads of fun to drive and has the horsepower to support the great looks. It has all the safety bells and whistles that you would want and is an excellent value. Classy for the week end night out and tough enough work or trail.

Service engine soon light on with under 2,000 miles

Service engine soon light is on with less than 2,000 miles. Went to the dealership and they said it was an $1,100 repair on us because there was a hole in the bottom of the engine that we caused. It has never been driven over or hit underneath while we've owned it but it's now our problem to fix. We bought it brand new.

Outstanding

Just the right truck(let) for my needs. Good on gas. Lots of features for the money. Fun to drive. I sure wish the "trunk " was deeper. The "port hole" in the rear window is useless and optically annoying.

Love my Santa Cruz

I recommend this vehicle I loved it sense I test drive it. It’s a good thing I made this purchase and I’m really happy. Come and check Killeen Hyundai, they will take care of you for sure. Good customer service.

Tough to find; worth the effort

I looked for this vehicle nearly every day for 3 months; contacting dealers as far away as 6 hours, in order to find the vehicle I wanted. Very tough to get past the bogus and exorbitant dealer mark-ups, but finally found a dealer that was willing to work with me and sell at an honest price. Well worth the effort. Love my Santa Cruz!!!

Great vehicle versatile for a traveling millwright while like to ski and do outdoor adventures.

It would be cool if the back seats folded forward to create a flat space for storage. I look forward to seeing how it handles in the snow. The dashboard looks incredible and the textures on everything are super nice

Loving my Santa Cruz Night Edition

Needed a replacement for my Daily Driver. I do not require a large truck, so the Santa Cruz fits my needs and requirements nearly perfectly. I have owned Ranchero's and an El Camino in the past, along with the S-10 Extreme I still own. The Santa Cruz easily aligned with my desires.

Doesn’t disappoint

Purchased the Night Edition. Compliments all the time. Really enjoy driving this vehicle. Handling is great, fuel mileage acceptable and overall driving experience is great. Ease of entering and exiting also great.

Great design

I absolutely love the way this vehicle looks and feels to drive. Tons of safety features and tech. With the turbo the power is much more than adequate. When I have to get on it to merge into traffic, it zooms. So comfortable and pleasant to drive. Comparable to an M3 BMW I previously owned. Hard to believe it’s a pickup. Feels more like a comfortable sports car.

Perfection

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz is everything I hoped it would be. It’s gorgeous on the inside & outside. Beautiful yet rugged. From the mechanical aspects all feeling responsive & solid to comfort items performing perfectly. Everyone should have one of these!

Love this vehicle

Love my new Santa Cruz. Looks sharp, gets decent gas mileage and very comfortable to drive. Had to wait a few months for mine to arrive at the dealership. So worth the wait though. I’m extremely happy with my purchase.

Happy with my 23 Santa Cruz

After much research I purchased a 23 SEL Activity Package in California Sand. I am delighted with this vehicle. I was considering a Maverick but due to availability and upcharges declined. No regrets!

My SANTA CRUZ is by far the very BEST ever

I am a 63 year old woman and I have purchased many cars over the years. I saw the Santa Cruz on TV once and I googled it immediately / I had to have it. 7 days later I owned it and I do love it. I bought the Phantom Black SE and she has everything I will ever need. It is exciting to watch the heads that are turning and many people have stopped me to ask about the Santa Cruz. She is a keeper for sure. Thank you

Perfect mid-sized vehicle

We were looking for a vehicle that could do some light hauling for our business and the Santa Cruz was a perfect fit. We also liked the styling of the vehicle especially the front end. It is comfortable and has enough room inside for the family and enough space in the bed for our purposes.

Great buy

All I can really say is that I love my Hyundai Santa Cruz. It drives really great, gives good acceleration, excellent safety features that are found on more expensive vehicles. Some videos I've seen say it's not that roomy, well it has more than enough space for me and my family. Tray space is small but just right for what I need it for. Gas mileage could be a lot better but it is what it is. The only gripe I have is that the sun visor only blocks out about half of my face from the sun. Other than that I love my Santa Cruz

A good experience purchasing this vehicle.

I love this vehicle. Haven’t owned it long enough to dislike anything about it. Ive driven 400 miles, hwy and in-town, since Ive owned it. It has everything I wanted, a short bed, extended tail gate, a covered bed that locks. I like the front view of the vehicle. I picked the grey color, it emphasizes the lines of the vehicle, side view especially. The wheels are awesome! It’s garage kept, the finish on it is beautiful! I drove in wet one day, not one water spot was on it when I returned to the garage the next day. When I drove other models of the Santa Cruz, that were not turbo, I knew I wanted the turbo, more comfortable with that on the highway, when you need that extra, it always there. It’s a hot little vehicle that is sooo fun to drive, easy to park, and easy on the eyes!

Santa Cruz

I have really liked this vehicle so far. There are a lot of good features, and the styling is awesome. I am hoping that it lives up to the Hyundai brand. I also really love the 10 yr 100,000 mile warranty. I didn't want to get a full size truck and this truck works great for DIY projects, trips to the store, and anything else I need it for without having a big truck.
