I have had the vehicle for two years now and it performs excellent in the snow and is a very comfortable ride on long trips

Can't say enough about this vehicle. Comfort, performance and handling are great. My boss liked mine so much he bought one about a month after I had mine. I am complimented on the style, color and the looks all the time.

Santa Cruz - 2022

Great vehicle look and feel. The vehicle has noise coming from rear passenger side. Had the transmission replaced by Hyundai at 24,000 miles. Overall fun vehicle to drive and so far Hyundai has honored their product with good warranty service

Love the vehicle a bit concerned on future reliability because of some issues I had that shouldn’t of occurred.

I love the look of the vehicle and the driving capabilities. The gas mileage could be better I put a lot of highway miles on the Vehicle approx 55 k in two years . Had some issues that were covered under warranty but they concern me about future reliability.

Nice to drive. Interior doors are peeling.

The dealership I bought the car from was horrible. Terrible customer service. I do love the Santa Cruz. The style is nice. I would’ve liked to have more room in the back seat area. Maybe the bed being a little bit longer.

Santa Cruze....Driving the future today!

One look at this vehicle tells it all....a pickup truck and an SUV combined! Small pickup bed, a unique sliding cover for the bed ( lockable ) tons of storage space inside and outside of vehicle, easy to get in and out of because of low vehicle height....my favorite...remote liftgate operation. I purchased this vehicle on looks alone and after 2 years of ownership Iam still excited to drive it!

Versatile

The vehicle is a jack of all trades. It functions well as a grocery getter, power equipment transport, tow vehicle (we have a 12' and 16' cargo trailer) and passenger vehicle (great for ski trips). I chose the SEL Premium level over the Limited primarily to have some analog controls vs. all haptic touch buttons and 18" inch vs 20" wheels are an advantage for my intended use. The Limited trim, however, is a relative bargain for a one vehicle only situation. A "dual action" tailgate would be a nice addition.

Best overall vehicle i have ever owned

Perfect vehicle for my needs. The vehicle has plenty of power. I am happy with gas mileage. Plenty of room for 4 adults and plenty of cargo space. I think the styling of the vehicle is fantastic. I have the Limited model and could not be happier with my choice !

Ok not great

If you want a car with a pickup bed it's fine if you want a small truck it not built to same strength as a body on frame truck. Mpg was disappointing. Bed cover takes up to much space in bed. Power was decent, dual clutch automatic not right fit for vehicle.

Great vehicle for married Boomers.

Hyundai's SANTA CRUZ is a delightful mid-level affordable purchase. Considered a "truck," the SANTA CRUZ is an upgraded Hyundai Tucson platform allowing lift capability yet not a "beater." Stylish! "What is that?" I heard it a hundred times. If fuel costs are your primary concern, the SANTA CRUZ is not your best option. Go for a Tucson.

Santa Cruz

Very happy with all aspects of this vehicle. In my opinion a better value for all the features and style can not be found. I was truly surprised by the fuel mileage when we took a trip to FL, and on the way back to NC we got almost 30 miles per gallon.

Great vehicle

Nice vehicle with a comfortable ride and excellent gas mileage. Vehicle has just enough cargo space to be able to haul the things I need to move around. The available options like heated seats are thoroughly enjoyed on cold mornings. Overall a very dependable vehicle,

The service at Maquire Dealership has been outstanding. I would reccommend them.

My two previous vehicles were Chevy Silverado 1500s. I loved them. The 2022 Santa Cruz is the most comfortable and fun to drive vehicle I have ever owned. I take several road trips a year. The Santa Cruz is exceptionally comfortable.. My hope is that the Santa Cruz proves to be durable and maintenance free over time. I have come to really appreciate the safety features on this vehicle, The enhanced cruise control features make long trips much easier and more fun.

Stylish little truck

I would highly recommend this vehicle but would not tow more than 3500 lbs and loose the hard tonneau cover. The safety features are better than most other vehicles. The bed is way more useful than you would think.

love the look and lane assistance.

my Hyundai Santa Cruz is a wonderful Addition to my garage. I love the lane assistance it helps me stay in the center of the lane much better than me steering. The cover over the back keeps water out the extra storage under the bed is wonderful. The only problem I have is sometimes when getting in my knee hits the steering wheel if I don't set my foot far enough into the footwell.

I love everything about this vehicle. It far exceeded my expectations in every area. It’s so good looking and is beyond practical. It is also very family friendly and also a perfect size to park and navigate.

Great sport adventure vehicle!

It was love at first sight. Loved the looks of it, then loved the test driving the rest was history. I have had it for a year, my husband looks for reasons/ excuses to take it when he can. It is just a great versatile vehicle!

Not satisfied/would not buy Hyundai Again

Check engine light has been an issue since purchasing without a resolution. Was told that it would go off and be fine but it has not; not available to schedule service in a timely manner; no priority for pre existing service not fixing issues; having to wait to have problems resolved with oil changes and routine maintenance.
