I love my Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited

Only thing I feel that did not deserve a 10 is the interior ambient light is weak as far as the amount or lack of. The rain dripping in even when the side windows are barely cracked open approximately a 1/8 to a 1/4”. Lastly, the rear view monitor on dash cluster. The digital display of numbers need to be relocated to bottom of circular display out of important view area.

Special vehicle

Thoroughly enjoy the Santa Cruz. Mine is one of the first off the line at introduction. Not a single "new production" issue. Well engineered, soundly assembled and most importantly, exceeds expectations.

Great little trucklet

Since I've purchased the vehicle I have put 2500 miles on it the fuel economy is better than advertised. The engine sounds left me wanting but the performance did not. It can fit 2 dirt bikes in the back if you remove the toneu cover. Overall very pleased with the purchase.

2022 Santa Cruz

Awesome vehicle. It has several of the cutting edge safety features like the turn signal blind spot camera, the 360 deg back up camera or the lane assist. Best bumper to bumper warranty that is 100,000 miles or 6 yr. Great handling and styling.

Overly satisfied with my Santa Cruz

After waiting and researching the new Santa Cruz I placed my order and took delivery in May 2022. At this time I have 3600 miles and am honestly extremely happy with every aspect of the vehicle. It looks unique from other trucks on the road and it performs incredibly well. The ride is very quiet, comfortable and all controls are easy to use. Acceleration and handling are superb and gas mileage is averaging 26 mpg. Truck bed has plenty of room for my needs of grocery hauling, garbage runs and any Home Depot supplies I can use. The Santa Cruz is built solidly and has absolutely no squeaking or rattling anywhere. It is early in my ownership but at this time I am a extremely satisfied customer!

Excellent handling, safety and all around very nice ride.

My Santa Cruz handles excellently, is comfortable for driver and passengers in seating, climate control, and stereo system. The hands free capability is voice controlled on texting, as well as, calls and is easy to use while driving.

Transmission Out after 1300 miles

Loved the truck for the 28 days I got to drive it. Transmission went out while sitting at a stop light in busy traffic on a hill. It’s been at the dealer repair now over two months with excuse after excuse and delay after delay to get the new transmission in for replacement. I’ve made three car payments since they have had it with no eta on when I’ll get it back and no assistance on payments or anything other than I got a rental car.

I love my Santa Cruz it was everything I was suspecting and wanted. I waited a long time for this to finally hit the market and it has not disappointed. It's full of luxuries at a great price and can't beat the warranty it comes with.

Spunky, cute and practical!

I fell in love with the appearance of the vehicle! Love that I waited for my color choice! I am still learning many of the awesome features! Just love it overall. Can't wait to have the step rails and towing package installed and hopefully knock out some great weekend getaways.

A Luxury car with a Truck bed

It’s been a month and I still smile every time I get behind the wheel. The technology in the limited trim is fantastic and paired with the comfort of the vehicle it makes a fantastic experience. I e also loaded the truck down with dirt and bricks and it’s handled the loads just fine. Much happier with this than any of my previous mid size trucks.

Great truck

Great truck. Wish gas mileage was a little better and range. Love driving the Santa Cruz. I have a SEL. Put a roll up cover on bed. Looks very nice. Lots of storage for size truck. Great value. Lots of bells and whistles.

Excellent

The Santa Cruz is a very sharp looking vehicle. Getting many complements! I waited over 2 years for this vehicle. Very very pleased with it. You don't see many of the Santa Cruz on the road. I'm sure that will change.

All was well except delivery.

So far I have been very satisfied with the new Santa Cruz I bought. I've only had it about 3 weeks and only about 800 miles on it. I'm a 77 year old man and not familiar with all the new high-tech features. I am looking forward to many more milesl

Best car I've ever owned

Great styling, incredible power, handles and rides like a Lincoln. Its a car and a pickup in one. The built in tonneau cover is awesome. Seamless integration of my Samsung phone and car's system. If you have a choice, go with top two style and engine packages!

Sporty truck with lots of features

I have only had this truck for three weeks, but so far it's exceeded my expectations. The engine doesn't question when you say "go" with the accelerator. The features are far to numerous to list and all are very useful. I have limited use of the truck bed, but works for my intended purposes. Comfort is superior to anything I've owned and far above my Dakota's of Nissan Frontier that I traded in, The safety features are very welcome. Quality of interior is far more plush as well. The only flaw or my perception as a flaw is the lack of turn knobs on the stereo and climate controls. While driving, it becomes a task to change these features, but may get better over time as I become more accutomed to them.

Great little truck

Purchased when first came available. In the year that I've had this vehicle ive put 20k miles back and forth to work. The drive is comfortable, the handling is great. The seat dont get uncomfortable within the hour drive to or from work.
