Nice truck but some concerns

Already having reliability issues at 8,000 miles dealership service centers are a major issue. Overall the vehicle is fun to drive cargo area is just useful enough. Wish the back seat was a little bigger I don't see the big deal and adding a few inches to the length. Mileage is terrible for a vehicle this small my Raptor with 6.2 L average 15 miles per gallon city this one does 17.

Love my Santa Fe!

I was really excited when this car/truck came out. I read all kinds of online reviews and educated myself as much as possible on the pros and cons of this vehicle. I've had Hyyndais in the past and have always been very pleased with their performance, style and reliability. The Santa Cruz is a great car to drive. People stop me all the time and ask about it - it's the best of both worlds. I call it the "mullet" of cars - business in the front and party in the back! It drives really smoothly and I love the interior interface. Just an overall great car!

Prefect little crossover for people looking for a small truck design

When looking to replace my 06 HRR, I knew what I was looking for and my wife new what she wanted. I was looking for a truck, she wasn't. We knew we had to make a compromise and the Santa Cruz fits the bill. It hauls enough to fit the truck needs I was wanting and it is designed in a way that my wife does not see it as a truck. Having towed multiple cargo trailers, one over 1700 miles. this little SAV has been a wonder to have. We have made multiple trips in the Santa Cruz and the ride has been excellent each time. Looking forward to take Santa Cruz out camping with a small RV.

It was very easy to purchase my Hyundai because I knew exactly what I wanted.

I love my Santa Cruz. It is very unique and I get lots of compliments on it! I love the way it sits, the ways it drives, and the way it looks. It is exactly what I wanted. My salesman made it easy.

I love this truck. It’s easy to drive and operate. The style is great. The interior is nice and comfortable. I would recommend this vehicle. My experience with Hyundais have always been above and beyond.

Love my 2022 Santa Cruz, But...

I really love my new 2022 Santa Cruz Limited, BUT two Recalls (Auto-Transmission and Tow Hitch) have me a bit concerned, especially the transmission - thus only a 4-star rating. Vehicle is very stylistic and performs very well - better than expected. Highway mileage is definitely decent but would like it if city mileage were a bit better. Limited model has quite a few very helpful and neat standard features, basically justifying the $40K price tag. All-in-all, I like driving it and often get a lot of compliments on the styling - and questions asking "What is it?" Hopefully the Transmission Recall fix really takes care of the transmission issue, thus justifying the quality and reliability ratings I gave below..

Garvey Hyundai provides exceptional sales and service experiences!

The Santa Cruz is a versatile and fun vehicle. If you need a full size truck, this is not the vehicle for you, but if you need passenger space and haul smaller item’s occasionally, you’d love this small truck. The ride and handling responsiveness are exceptional. Fuel mileage is great, the ride is amazingly quiet. I can’t say enough about this vehicle! Not to mention Hyundai offers the best warranty in the industry!

The vehicle is a good vehicle and has great pick up. Also I like the white, bright lights

Over all speaking the vehicle is great. Great lighting, great handling, easy to get in and out off. It looks good both interior and exterior. I just wish that it had about three more features that I like.

Love vehicle light weight pickup

The only dislikes is that there’s no indicator light to let you know the tailgate is not closed. I have cover for the bed for some reason I thought it would keep it dry when it rains but it do not.. overall I love my truck

Santa Cruz - first year production

Great vehicle. It needs more refining. Backup lights are not bright enough; warning alarms for parking, you have the camera but you still cannot tell how close you are to an object; water leaking in bed is terrible you cannot keep anything in it, the Tonneau cover should do more than look good.

Love my adventure vehicle! Looks nice, drives great and has some good get up and go (turbo model). Everyone looks at it going down the street because it's something new and looks real sharp in black!

Very solid first attempt but not perfect

I have the limited and have been satisfied over the last year with it. Great blend of truck and non truck aspects. But Hyundai, PLEASE stop calling this thing an "adventure" vehicle. Styling while subjective is great and the performance with the turbo is fantastic. The tech all works perfectly and it comes with quite a bit. Gas mileage hasn't been that good so really wished they offered a hybrid or PHEV. Still waiting on my tow harness. So, I went and bought an aftermarket one. Terrible oversight. Which leads to my grips, with Hyundai being something newer to the truck game, there is a few items like the loss of bed space to the bed cover that don't quite hit the mark. Overall would recommend.

I love my Santa Cruz: Right choice for me.

The car is totally different from anything on the road today and I love that uniqueness of that. It standsout and is a great conversation starter. I love what Hyundai did with this vehicle. Looking forward to seeing the next Santa Cruz

Excellent service and value

Very cool car good value for the price. Warranty excellent. Seems like it’s built to last. Service center great and it’s very easy. Should offer more options to add on without having to go to next package.

Sweet ride

I always loved driving a Hyundai and was happy when they introduced this pickup version. It rides nicely and love the styling, not boxy like its Ford counterpart. It's comfortable like an SUV and love the color.

Best vehicle I have ever owned...

Best vehicle I have ever owned... I just wish the button for the all wheel drive was in a different spot, it is to easy to activate without knowing. Other than that I really don't have any other issues...
