Useful with great performance

Drives like a sports car but a very functional pickup for someone who only needs a truck a few times per year. Like the exterior looks and highly functional features of the nav and info system. Very intuitive and and audible nav system that is lifetime updated for the original vehicle owner. You can turn off or adjust sensitivity of the driver assist features. The turbo is very responsive with OK city milage but very good highway milage of nearly 30. For a couple of seniors, the touch screen is easy to use and the auto pairing and audibility of the sound is excellent. On multiple occasions the responsive steering and excellent braking allowed accident avoidance on the highway. Especially like the smart cruise control and the bright light dimming feature. Only 3 months into ownership but so far no regrets. Dealer was low pressure, answered all questions promptly, and was very helpful on the financing.

Absolutely No Complaints!

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a beautiful truck. And I get 31 MPG in a combination of highway and town. The style is great and the reliability is fantastic. A great warranty too. The infotainment center is great. The other auto manufactures don't come close to giving the same flexibility and quality interface. I like the wheels and the color. Hyundai (and KIA) have the most beautiful cars on the road today.

Very nice

This is Very nice truck, good quality paint is bright and shiny, interior is comfortable and easy to read. It reminds me of the interior of an aircraft. The deck has a reasonable amount of space and storage.

Santa Cruz

I have been very satisfied so far. I have had no problems as of now. I am coming up on one year on October 20,2024. My truck has a few extras, but I wished it had automatic mirror controls. I love the color.

Absurd warranty requirements to get an intermittent faulty screen replacement

Have an issue with a touchscreen display the blanks out frequently. Took cell phone video to demonstrate issue to dealer. Dealer said they couldn’t replace components until they could recreate issue. Each time i take it in i am without my new car for 5 hours. They may never get issue to repeat that’s why i took video. by their logic if i took it in 200 I would still have a defective car.

Disappointed with the lack of accessories that are available for this vehicle.

I would like a more robust version for off-road situations, the ability to add a winch and it should have had a trailer hitch as standard equipment on the XRT turbo (or any of the turbo versions). Otherwise, It is a nice driving vehicle and has most of the creature comforts that you would like to have in a car but also has the ability to do some light hauling as well.

Hyundai Warranty

This vehicle is exceptional in many ways. It has less utility than my previous pick-up truck but is big on creature comfort and technology. Overall I am satisfied, but have had a dissapointing experience with the dealer and manufacturer over their failure to repair a paint defect.

Santa Cruz Lives in The Shop

Had the vehicle less than 30 days and it has been in the shop most of that time Including now. It has an infotainment issue causing it to reboot constantly and the radio buttons don’t work and the volume goes full blast and you can’t turn it down or off.

24’ Hyundai Santa Cruz Night Edition

Fun to drive and awesome styling. Hyundai would have to add more features and off road functionality for me to purchase another one. I traded in a 2017 Ford F-150 XLT. I have made some modifications to the vehicle to change the styling but in the end a lift and bigger tires don’t help if the vehicles suspension can’t articulate off road.

Excellent salesman,Ari, in Cookeville TN. Delightful and has followed up with me every week since purchase.

One of the the easiest choices I've made and usually the salesman make me regret even thinking about buying a car. Young man Ari, was skillful without being pushing, gave me space and time. Biggest plus is He Didn't Try To Sell Me Something I Didn't WANT!!! Excellent salesman,Ari, in Cookeville TN. Delightful and has followed up with me every week since purchase. You should actually consider recruiting him to train or evaluate other Salesman at company/Corporate level. I don't say things like this, lightly!

Very versatile and practical, but too slow

My v6 tacoma got the same gas mileage as my non turbo santa cruz and was way faster and more powerful. Interior body piece on the back of the window (little black triangle) has fallen off and has gone missing after a month of ownership. Lights in the sun visors vibrate and make annoying noises when driving. You can tell it's a cheap car for those reasons, but otherwise I do really like it and it draws good attention. It has way more options and equipment than my tacoma but isn't nearly as fun to drive

Salesman was awesome

Been following the Santa Cruz from prototype to actual model you can buy. Love its style. The Hyundai warranty is outstanding. I especially like the lockable tonneau cover for the truck bed and the step bumper is real convenient.

Love the look, could do better on gas

I would love to buy this car because It doesn’t look like a man work truck and yet it has the advantage of being able to transport thing, but I don’t see it being good on gas. Although I’ve been testing them and shopping around, Gas it’s a Dealbreaker for me.

Good for what it is

I purchased a Santa Cruz for work, I use it everyday and normally drive around 80 miles a day. It is a good drive, feels like driving a small SUV like a Tuscon, the MPG is decent and I do like having the bed as an option. I will say and note that this is not a family car, the rear seats are small and people can feel crammed and hot as there are no AC vents in the back of the SEL model. Overall I do love my Santacruz and enjoy driving it, it is the most efficient and affordable option if looking for a good truck with a good manufactures warranty. This is my 4th Hyundai in the past 20 years.

Great light truck!

The Santa Cruz is more up market and better finished than the Ford Maverick. It combines truck usefulness with SUV refinement, quirt and ride quality.. Great build quality.' It is my first Hyundai and it has been a very pleasant surprise.
