Santa Cruz

The best sport car to buy for an old dude reliving his younger days. This vehicle is very fun to drive and has great options. I recommend you get it loaded and definitely get the 2.5 liter engine with turbo charge.

Perfect sized truck bed

Great vehicle. Designed to ride like a nice SUV but has truck bed for versatility. Love this stylish vehicle. Comfortable ride. Great safety features. Classy yet sporty. Practical. Interior feels upgraded.

Had potential but lacks

This truck was a dream for me that I was going to get one as soon as I could. I should have waited or not gotten it at all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a neat looking truck with comfortable seats, but that’s where I think it sits….style over substance.

Surprising Vehicle

My Front wheel drive truck was really a great surprise to me. The gas milage is unbelievable. - 38.3 MPG on my last 120-mile trip and it is short enough to fit into my garage. My only complaint is the center console is very difficult to access from the driver's seat.

Transmission problem

Truck is amazing but at 14000 trans is being replaced. I pull my trailer and go in the outdoors with it meaning fishing hunting or on a long drive. I would have problems is the resale value was better and the trans not going out. Hope hyundai makes the new models better build or computer programming right.

Manufacturer cannot fix "Simple" issue

Overall, the Santa Cruz is the answer to a question nobody asked, until the answer was put right in front of them. A sensibly sized pickup truck is something that the car community joked for years would never happen again. All vehicles with a "bed" would be comically small imports from the 90s or modern over-engineered and oversized LEGO bricks that exist only to suck oil right from the well in droves. Enter the Santa Cruz, a pickup truck for humans. Besides the exterior styling that came straight from Mars, a vehicle with space for 5 adults, that also has space for all your camping equipment, a towing capacity to tug along a pontoon boat, and plenty of aftermarket support already, all in a package the same length as a Camry with better offroad capabilities than most new Subarus? That's nothing to sneeze at. The SEL trim comes with more than enough driver assists than should be necessary, but not so many that you'll want to rip your hair out every time you need to change a setting or dare to try to zipper into a 2 into 1 lane. The AWD system and 8 speed automatic transmission make the most of the 191 horsepower engine under the hood. You won't be winning any races, but if you were really trying for that, you would've bought an Elantra N instead. This powertrain provides plenty enough pull for the average joe going to work, or the family going on a weekend camping trip out of town. Just learn to drive like a person and not a maniac and you'll be served fine without a turbocharger. Interior comfort is unparalleled by even Toyota or Honda, for the price point. AC that actually blows cold, the fastest front and rear windshield defrosts I've seen on an SUV/Pickup Truck, and 3 stage heated front seats certainly came as a surprise for me when I was researching the SEL trim over the SE. Though not the goodies that sealed the deal for me, they're absolutely nice pluses. So, I love it. Why 1 star? I've been having the same defect with it for 6 of the 12 months I've owned it and after 4 repair attempts and about 2 and a half of those months of the vehicle being completely out of service, I just can't recommend anyone buy it. When it works, it works. When it doesn't, it'll haunt you and send a feeling of dread into your soul, knowing if you have a 30 year old Civic, it probably won't have half the road noise due to wear and old age that this thing makes due to a defect.

Love My Hyundai

My small truck does everything I need it to do no more no less. It’s perfect for my lifestyle. I use my Santa Cruz every weekend to hall my mini motorcycles to the go cart track and back. With all the gear I need for the day. It’s the perfect vehicle for people who don’t need a large truck but something with a little mor capacity than a hatch back. And the ability to carry larger things like mini bikes.

BEST INNOVATIVE NEW VEHICLE

Great new type of truck that fits a lot of households that do not feel the need for a full sized truck. It fills the position in the market very well. Offers great mileage over a large amount of other vehicle offerings.

Great fusion of a truck and a car

The Santa Cruz is perfect for me. It drives like a car and hauls like a truck. I throw stuff in the back and lock the tonneau cover and not worry about it. The AWD works great, I live in rural MT and enjoy the peace of mind it gives me to know I can get where I need to go. The ventilated front seats are wonderful on a hot day.

Fabulous vehicle

Meets all my needs. Attractive. Efficient. Worry-free. Has room of a truck but drives like a sedan. Nice power. All good. Liked better than similar vehicles by Ford, Honda, etc. Works well for my needs.

Breaking & Sensor issues

Love my truck for it’s looks and features but: Dealing with multiple issues already: breaks, weird noises, engine shaking, gear shift issues. Not able to get the help needed to fix the problems has been a fight with Hyundai warranty to resolve these matters.

Would buy another!!

The ride is very smooth. Storage areas are great. It has a nice sleek design. The warranty is the best in the market, and also has complimentary maintenance. I am so glad that I chose to buy this model.

Fun Vehicle

Everything has been wonderful except the three year free maintenance package which they try to charge every other service😒although I only put 8,000 miles a year on this vehicle the maintenance package was important at the time of the sale. Very disappointing!
