Great Ute

Overall this has been great so far. Very practical and it fits 4 people reasonably well. There have been some transmission recalls but hopefully they have this fixed for the 2023 models. The only real downside for me so far is the gas milage. I would love a future hybrid version of this.

2023 Santa Cruz SEL with Activity Package

We use the Santa Cruz as our regular drive. It is comfortable, easy to drive and park, and practical for most of our purposes. Neighbors and even strangers remark about how great the vehicle looks and ask "what is it"!

Nice vehicle

I love the car. It’s not really a truck. It is a very cool concept and I like the idea of a vehicle covering two segments of the market. I do feel the body has to much tool on curves and although the brakes work they could be former feeling.

Pleased with the vehicle

So far we are pleased with the vehicle. Gas mileage could be a little better, but overall not bad. Wish the back seat had a little more leg room. We are still learning about all of the features. We will be taking a trip soon and will be able to jusge the vehicle more then.

2023 Santa Cruz

This was the best bang for my buck. I didn’t need a big truck and wanted good gas mileage. This thing is Awesome great gas mileage lots of power and plenty of storage for my needs. Price was a factor also and this won. Did not like the maverick from ford. Really liked the warranty too.

Rides smoothly not like previous trucks comfortable safety features a must

We are 80 and 90 years young and still very active. We traded a nissan rogue2018 and a 2016 Elantra and had to finance very little. 0 % financing. Great salesman and dealership very friendly. at our age not our first rodeo and has become a chore to trade vehicles. This was a very pleasant experience

2023 Santa Cruze

I am very happy I discovered the Santa Cruz. It’s stylish, well equipped for the value. And of course comes with the unbeatable warranty. I would recommend the Santa Cruz to anyone in the market for something different and fun.

Awesome!

I chose the Santa Cruz because of the look. The version I purchased is the Night and it looks Great! If I could have found it cheaper else where I would have flown, driven, or hitched a ride to purchase. With the internet location is no longer an issue.

Santa Cruz 2023

We wanted a 4-door cab short bed truck and the Santa Cruz met all those requirements. We purchased the 2023 version knowing that the Santa Cruz was new to Hyundai. The truck is still new to us and still getting used to all its features never having owned a truck before.

A great vehicle. A few more items and it's perfect.

The Santa Cruz is an awesome vehicle! Quality, performance, comfort, features and style are all top notch. Add drivers seat memory, passenger seat power and a rear center console/cupholder and you have a perfect package! The open bed makes many of the household tasks much more convenient. Need to haul your lawn mower or snowblower? Fill the gas can at the station? Haul things you'd rather not bring "inside"? Or just need that extra trunk space? Move small furniture? The number of uses for the bed are unlimited. Road trip? Need the comfort? Power? Mileage? The Sant Cruz fits the bill! Great vehicle!!!

Awesome ride!

I have a new 2023 Santa Cruz Limited and absolutely love it. If I could buy another one, I would! Great vehicle. It’s a lot of fun to drive and is more than comfortable. Drove it straight from the lot in Virginia up to central Maine. Drove like a dream.

Before buying a full-size pickup! How many times have I needed that big bed? This may be your answer

You either love the new Santa Cruz or you don't! I don't have the need for a full size truck anymore. I love the sharp lines and technology and features it offers! The ride is so smooth! Interior styling is so nice too! I was looking at the Honda Ridgeline. I made a Pro's and Con's list. It did not take me long to realize what a deal the Santa Cruz offers. I save almost $10K on purchasing my SEL versus a Ridgeline RTL.

2023 Santa Cruz

I love the Santa Cruz, it’s versatile and easy to use. Easiest truck to park and I have no complaints on my first new car. Makes me never want to buy PreOwned again. Hyundai is one of my favorite brands and I love having a new one. Santa Cruz was a great and the warranty helps.

Better than Maverick

After driving the Maverick and the Santa Cruz hands down ( literally) on the Santa Cruz. Only one mini truck stood out. Much quieter and scooter running. Handling on snow in mountain conditions the Santa Cruz was my choice.

Functional and Sporty

I looked at the Santa Cruz online for a few months never thinking I would find one in my dealership. I had been driving a Nissan for the last 6 or 7 years and thought it was a great vehicle. Went by the dealership to show the Cruz to my husband and there were 3 on the lot in different colors - test drove and fell in love. It has great pick up and rides very smooth. I was surprised at how much better it handled than my Nissan - I am in love!

Great Utility Vehicle and a Great Ride

I recently traded in a 2017 Toyota Tacoma for a 2023 Santa Cruz. I have no regrets and the gas mileage is so much better. The bed is also large enough for me and my wife in our trips to Lowe's and Home Depot. Additionally, I am amazed at how quick the turbo engine is; it's incredible. We did have aftermarket black leather seating installed, which truly upgraded the interior over the cloth seats. Handling is superb and I feel in control of the vehicle at all times. Lastly, it's a head-turner as I've noticed pedestrians and other vehicles eyeing the vehicle.
