Love my Santa Cruz, Fits Both My Budget & My Lifestyle . . .

2022 Santa Cruz, you get the Bang for the Buck! You get a solid ride, with a tremendous number of safety features . . . which in turn helps your vehicle insurance cost and it is for your safety also, great fuel milage, just enough truck for this guy, plus I get compliments all the time on its color "Sage Grey" & it's sharp looking exterior features, plus I don't know of too many vehicles that come with a built-in cooler, Peace!

Great looking, solid performance.

Stylish vehicle with great performance and surprisingly good gas mileage. Dealer support is more than expected. Interior noise minimal with great layout that is easy to use. Nav system is better than any other I have used.

Great car. Fun to drive

Very stylish. Where ever I go, people tell me, that’s a nice truck. My car gets a lot of attention. I’m always getting thumps up from other drivers on the road. Just wish the MPG was better. Getting only 20MPG on the highway

Good but not great

A nice car overall but has a cheap feel and limited storage capability. Cargo space is small and unable to carry much. The cargo retractable cover takes up a lot of space limiting what can be put in the bed. Can not carry any bikes or building supplies such as lumber. Good for a couple of shrubs and garden bushes as long as you don't need to close the cover.

good vehicle

Good Vehicle, just needed small truck, no longer need full sized truck. Considered other small trucks but had a Santa Fe and liked it, so went with Santa Cruz. I'm older and can no longer load/unload full sized truck.

Great value for the price!

Did not expect the performance, comfort and fun that I am having with this vehicle. My dealership worked with me to get what I wanted even it had to be ordered, it was well worth the wait. Other than a few minor details I would by another one in a heartbeat!

Really attractive vehicle

This is a unique looking small truck. Perfect for my hauling needs when working around my yard. Like the interior car look, but with exterior cool factor. My third new car bought through Hyndai, there design team keeps me coming back.

Fantastic mid sized truck

This truck is perfect, it is all wheel drive and 4 wheel drive when needed, when I need to haul something a little bigger I can open the back of the truck and it's perfect. The color is beautiful and very noticeable.

Good all around vehicle

attracts a lot of attention. good on gas and is perfect for hauling lawncare items. The interior quality is poor and the drivetrain is quirky, as in it shifts a lot and often revs in between long drawn out shifts. handles and drives nice and goes great in the snow

Great small truck

This is a great truck. The styling reminds me of the Subaru Baja or even an El Camino. It drives more like an suv or car vs a truck. It has plenty of cabin space for 4 large adults to fit comfortably. The only con I could think of is the transmission does take some getting used to.

Rides great and good gas mileage

Mileage on the highway is excellent. So many features. Great looking. Had so many compliments on this truck. The all wheel drive works better than I thought. Easy to use with just the push of a button

Santa Cruz Limited a Great Car

The Santa Cruz is fun to drive, comfortable and handles great, also the styling is fantastic. Overall experience of driving the Santa Cruz is worth it, along with the value you get for so much technology in the Santa Cruz.

Nice vehicle but has some quality problems

I’ve always liked the Hyundai & Kia product lines. The Santa Cruz in Standard 2.5 non turbo option is slightly underpowered which heavily affects fuel mileage on hilly roads. Overall it’s a nice vehicle but has low beam visibility issues & minor quality control issues. If I would have known these things I would have invested in the higher level model.

Best vehicle ever!

Beautiful styling but also a practical vehicle that perfectly meets my needs; lot of great options, not terribly expensive, fun to drive, and gets better gas mileage that promised. Love this vehicle!
