Excellent vehicle that fulfills our needs

Love the vehicle, but because 2022 was the first year of the santa cruz there are some minor issues that need to be dealt with, but I still really enjoy this vehicle. If you're looking for a small truck for simple duties with great power and performance, this is the truck for you.

Top Notch

Great car. Love the exterior styling and the interior function and styling. Very, very happy with the vehicle's performance on icy and snowy roads. Very happy with the versatility of the cargo area including the various tie down features.

Santa Cruz

There are transmission issues from the beginning - high rpms before changing/shifting gears. Now, I hear there is a recall that I hope will correct the issue. The rear sliding window is manual (needs to be remote controlled).

Love the vehicle.

My only real complaint with the vehicle was the last minute addon of the $5,000 above MSRP at the last minute. I get a lot of compliments on the styling, and it is fun to drive. My daughter drives it a lot and I feel she is safe and it fits her type of driving really well.

would be better if the trans was better.

trans, is not very good ,Hyundai needs to get away from that duel clutch trans, they weren't any good in the Tucson with the 1.6 turbo . what made the company think putting it with a 2.5t would make it any better. once a problem always a problem. put a 8 speed auto trans in it and hyundai would have a outstanding vehicle.

One of my favorite vehicles ever

Love everything about it. I get more comments on this vehicle than any other vehicle's I've ever owned. Fun to drive, excellent in the snow. Fuel mileage is ok around town, I get great mileage on the highway, have actually averaged 33 miles to the gallon. Back seat is a little small for large adults, small kids would be fine. Overall love it!

The Limited is the only way to go!

I traded in a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL for a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited mainly because of the Turbo, the Bose and the wireless charging that I never got for my Android. The Turbo makes a huge difference on this vehicle. In my opinion, they should come out with more colors that have the firemist paint. Makes it look very good.

Excellent small special purpose truck

Well-built small family truck with many great add-ons. Super ride, handling and performance. Love the 20" tires for a quite ride. Powerful four-cylinder turbo engine that gets around quickly, feels like a V8. The bed is super to haul small loads and is covered, tailgate is very light and an easy handle.

Great

Great vehicle. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality and style of this truck. Some engineers really came up with a winner. This truck is all I need. It will haul any load I may have. It rides like a car. Excellent looks, the best looking vehicle on the road!

Waited a Long Time

Nice little vehicle too bad that although I had to wait 10 months after making a downpayment they still choose to add $8,000 to the sticker price on a base vehicle - even charged top dollar to add a trailer hitch. Nickle and diming is not a good business tactic

Love it?

This is a truck that I would buy again now!! If something happened to this truck...I would buy another one... probably the very same!! I love the black or white colors. The muffler could be a little more beefy but it will do.

Nothing like it

There is nothing like it on the road, styling makes it stand out! The versatility and comfort give you the best of both worlds! Handling and forward visibility are very good. Driver layout is very well thought out.

Non-truck lovers, this is for you!

It’s a combination of comfort, style and utility. Not a truck person but still useful for my everyday needs. I take my bike to the trails, add large grocery items in the back, travel with comfort over state lines. I carried small furniture in the back, no problem!

Great quality and value!

My wife and I have put almost 30k miles on it in the first year with no issues! Kids have gotten a little big for the back seat so it is now a strictly a commuter car and have been so satisfied with Hyundai I just bought a Santa Fe with 3rd row as a family car.

It's nice!

I went from a Ram 1500 to this. I didn't need a truck of the Rams's size,but I still wanted utility and something nice. Great feature options even in the base model. OK fuels economy. Smooth ride. Looks cool. Good mix of sleek, sporty, and tough. Comfy. Good warranty. I recommend.

Best truck I've ever owned

We've owned 4 Hyundais, 3 purchased new, and will still have 2, 2017 Tucson & 2022 Santa Cruz, and we couldn't be happier. I grew up in a Ford family and still own a 2005 Mustang GT 300 but our Hyundais are our daily drivers due to good fuel economy, stylish looks with being able to do everything we need to do on a daily basis. We are now a Hyundai/Ford family

great

Is fun to drive. Has great power for its size. Has great style and good economy. Catch the eye attention. Has a feeling like driving a big truck but with better fuel economy. Has the advantage of a truck and the comfort of a car.
