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.

Nice

This is the vehicle for you if you want a small truck that comes with alot of special features and options. Perfect for someone who doesn't need a full size pickup with a high price tag. Great interior and exterior styling. Many people have commented on how much they like my truck..

Black Beauty

I love my Truck. This design is sporty and feminine looking. It allows a woman to have a truck that isn’t rugged and too large. It provides the needed quality and size for me. No need for a Bug Boy Truck. Just right for me. It’s just right for ME. I love my Santa Cruz. Thanks

GREAT VEHICLE

I LOVE MY NEW VEHICLE! IT RIDES SMOOTH AND IS COMFORTABLE. FOR A 4X4 VEHICLE, IT GETS GREAT GAS MILEAGE! IT IS VERY SPACIOUS AND MY 6'5 BF HAS NO PROBLEM RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT LEAVING PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE BACK FOR PASSENGERS.

Long waited pickup

My opinion, this is a long waited size pickup. If you live in a city or in the country this is great little truck get small chores done. Instead driving around a huge vehicle that you can’t see over steering wheel and you need 100 acres and three cameras to turn it around. It’s very maneuverable and comfortable to drive and also very easy to get in and out of. No step ladder needed to look in side of the bed. Even the midsize trucks today are a joke, they’re way over sized. I miss the compact pickups of the 1970’s and 80’s, they were small and user friendly. Everything today is so big you need a camera to go forward. Hyundai hit it out the ball park with this Santa Cruz.

best affordable mini truck

We searched so many small trucks from Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Honda. We decided on the Hyundai Santa Cruz for a number of reason. First cost it may not be the cheapest but factor in the warranty and it is a better deal. 2nd all wheel drive with snow track. 3rd rear seat room it has plenty, my grandson is 6 foot 6 and he fits. Having a cargo bed was a must we are an outdoor family and it is the perfect size for fishing and mountain trips. I recommend doing your research on any vehicle its a big investment the Hyundai Santa Cruz checked all our boxes.

Outstanding...I LOVE IT !!!

I bought this vehicle because it was rated # 1..and it is NUMBER 1..it looks good, rides good, fast, because of the 2.5 Turbo..and just right money wise...under $40,000. If you haven't bought one yet, you need to.

Not for everyone, but for those it IS for, it's perfect.

This is a perfect car for someone who, from time to time, needs to really use their SUV to haul things other than people. I replaced an older Toyota Landcruiser, a great SUV, with this vehicle and I've already used it much more for day to day tasks than I did the Landcruiser. It's rugged, but, refined as well. No, it's not a Landcruiser (nothing's really close), but it's doing a great job of replacing it. When I need to transport something quickly and simply, there is no better vehicle out there. I can also comfortably move people with it (although the back seats only really have 'kid sized' leg room, so, no long trips with 4 adults). The fit and finish, so far, seems great. It feels smooth and drives nicely. Not too rough, not to soft. They really did hit a sweet spot (at least for me). My only issues are: needs more USB ports. There are only a couple, and they're USB A (not C). The engine on the lower end models isn't super peppy (191HP), but, it's a tried and true engine that should last a long time, so I'm good with it. The MSRP is a little overpriced right now, but I paid about 3K under MSRP, so I'm good with it.

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.

It was worth the wait to get the color and trim/features I wanted!

This truck has exceeded my expectations. It handles extremely well and has better than expected fuel economy. Excellent safety features. I really like how many features (safety, infotainment, front seats) can be customized. Much quieter than expected with the sun roof open. Very impressed with the features and ease of use of the MyHyundai app. Seat adjustments provide the right balance of comfort, firmness and support.

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!
