Hyundai Santa Cruz is the bomb!

We have been loyal Hyundai customers since our first vehicle purchase which was the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. It never gave us a lick of trouble. Since then we have bought the 2018 Kona and a 2019 Elantra. We followed the Hyundai Santa Cruz since it’s inception. As soon as the Santa Cruz was available the dealership called us. We purchased the second one off of the delivery truck on October 3rd, 2021. It had a whole whopping 3 miles on it! My husband was so excited!! It’s baby blue with all the bells and whistles on it! My husband took so many pictures and posted them to Facebook. OMG, he was ridiculous! But so very happy! It’s been over 2 years now and we can’t be happier with our truck! She rides so comfortably. Basically, the interior is like the Tucson. Plenty of room. But, you also have the convenience of a truck bed. There’s still not very many Santa Cruz’s out on the road. Not sure as to why. This truck is AWESOME! Lots of people stop to look at it. I always take the time to open it up and show them both the interior and the bed. I also start the engine and open the hood. One of the biggest things people love are the running lights! Every single person loves the truck! I should get a commission on how many times I do this. But, I am so very proud of our truck and I know it is well worth the money!

Love my Santa Fe

I absolutely love my Santa Fe. I wanted something to be able to camp and get to a trailhead with, but that was stylish and not like all the other trucks out there, that are usually way too much. Also wanted sporty. Also wanted a daily driver. This fit the bill well. Only wish I had picked up the turbo - it's my only real complaint with my vehicle.

Perfect Combination of Truck & Car

I was searching online for a small pickup for hubby even though I wanted another SUV. I came across the Santa Cruz being made in summer of 2022. It was perfect for us both! Great SUV body with a 4' pick up bed!

Santa Cruz

Wanted a smaller truck, but didn't want a midsize truck offered by other dealerships. The santa cruz and the ford maverick were an interesting choice. Could never find a maverick to drive, and the santa cruz looked much better for both interior and exterior. I have not been disappointed with the santa cruz.

Love the concept but.....

The Santa Cruz fills the niche for a urban small truck. As with most vehicles, it has its benefits and drawbacks. What has taken the shine off this purchase is the fact that any maintenance needs to be scheduled at least two months out, at least at the dealership I purchased from. Service reminder for an oil change came on at 8,000 miles. Called dealership and they could schedule me two months out. Paid for first service myself at a oil change retailer.

It loses power on the freeway

The santa cruz Car is a vehicle that elicits mixed emotions. On one hand, its design is a true testament to modern aesthetics and sleek automotive engineering. Yet, beneath this stylish exterior lies an unfortunate Achilles’ heel - the car’s tendency to lose power on the freeway. Starting with the positives, the Car is an aesthetic marvel. Its design boasts sleek lines, aerodynamic curves, and meticulous attention to detail. Driving this vehicle feels like piloting a piece of automotive art, setting it apart in a crowded market. However, the car’s freeway performance leaves much to be desired. While it accelerates smoothly, handles corners flawlessly, and offers a comfortable city commute, it struggles on the open road. Overtaking slower traffic can be an exercise in frustration, as the engine often falls short of expectations. It’s a stark contrast to its city capabilities. In conclusion, the santa cruz Car is indeed a study in contrasts. Its impeccable design and city performance make it appealing for urban drivers. Nonetheless, the frustrating loss of power on the freeway might deter potential buyers who require consistent highway performance. If your driving needs align with its strengths, the Car is worth considering. However, for those dependent on highway travel, other options may provide a better balance between style and substance.

Hyundai Santa Cruz

So easy to drive. Very nice looking vehicle. Everything I have needed in a vehicle. I use it for my part time job of bartending. Works great for transporting supplies and is easy to load and unload. Would recommend it to anyone that wants a smaller truck.

Great truck/car

Comfortable, nice to drive. Holds corners nicely. Moderately good gas mileage . Plenty of cargospace for Costco runs. There is enough leg room both front and back. Rides smoothly and camera works great! Easy to clean.

Nice size pickup truck.

Waited yrs for the Santa Cruz to b built. Bought it sight unseen. Got the limited model has great power, the styling is great, great size for me, mostly haul few bails of hay & feed, or about 6- 5 gallon tanks of gas for mowing. I didn't want a massive pickup truck look. the paint is nice no flaws. Do wish they had a better choice of fun colors. Have had lots of compliments on its looks. Didn’t know I needed ventilated seats but love that! Even the backs r heated on heat mode. Love the all around camera. Has built in garage door opener. Just a fun vehicle to drive!

Fun Truck to Drive

Test drive one. Decide if this is the vehicle for you. If so, get the best deal you can squeeze out of the dealership and buy it. Then drive it day in and day out. Be careful as there is little room for backseat passengers unless you and front seat passenger are under five foot tall.

Great sports adventure vehicle

I love the storage, receptacle and ice chest feature! Hiowever, it needs keyless entry & a way to leave it running for my dog when I run in the grocery store and such. Please make some kind of improvement for our animals.

Great looking and great performing vehicle

Super versatile. The pick up bed is just the right size and hard cover is a great feature. Santa Cruz has great pick up and fund to drive. I get many compliments on the look and styling. The electronics package is amazingly easy to use.

Santa Cruz

After selling my home, I no longer needed a full size pickup truck but was undecided what to get. Saw Hyundai was going to produce the Santa Cruz, so I actually completed a reservation for one thru Hyundai America. Received a notice that local dealer had Santa Cruz similar to want I wanted, went to look at it and drove it and fell in love with it thus purchasing it. Vehicle has a unique design and appearance, seats four, and has some pickup truck capability, just what I was seeking. Overall appearance, performance, comfort, features are perfect for what I was seeking. Love this vehicle.

Unique Vehicle for a Unique Lifestyle

I love the Santa Cruz, the perfect mix of styling, performance, and durability. The perfect size for me. I need the capabilities of truck around the house; however I have quite a commute to work, it definitely fits my needs in style.

Great Vehicle for hauling, cruisin, relaxing

Great vehicle so far. I love the ability to haul some things, and have the comfort and features of higher end vehicles for a decent price and great warranty. Has decent pickup for a 4 cylinder with Turbo, The gas mileage I thought would be better. Gets around 22-23 MPG around town, and close to 30-35 MPG on highway

My 1st Hyundai Santa Cruz

Reports of recalls and thefts are issues or concerns for me. Bluelink had Chassis warnings issued pertaining vehicle prior to purchase. No complete understanding was given by dealership if this issue was resolved or repaired after I had purchased vehicle.

Hyundai Santa Cruz

The Hyundai Santa Cruz was a vehicle of surprise to myself and my wife. We were hoping that Hyundai would come up with a pick up truck design since 1995. Two are pleasant surprise the Hyundai Santa Cruz appeared when we went to trade in our lease vehicles. We immediately fell in love with the vehicle the way it looked with handled all the interior and exterior features. recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Stylish, comfort, and fun to drive

The Santa Cruz is a stylish, zippy, and comfortable vehicle. It has the bed space that is great for work stuff, yet it has a luxurious interior, clear and crisp stereo sound and ride quality. It is a perfect size and not oversized like todays full size trucks. It has the function of a truck but a ride like a suv or car.
