Perfect vehicle for any homeowner

Just over 2500 miles on my SC and I love it! Super comfortable, awesome entertainment system, quiet ride, decent gas mileage, and super useful when your working on projects at home. I can haul 2x4’s or paneling or a dishwasher or pack the bed with stuff for a long weekend trip. I’m really glad I got this truck. Also good for every day commute. Lots of cubbies to store stuff and the cup holders are perfectly placed. The safety systems keep me from getting into trouble. So far very happy!

Excellent car for features and price

Surprised over the technology this vehicle has. The instrument cluster is full color and digital. The safety features of this vehicle seem to be top notch with nothing left to implement. Also the vehicle seems to be very well constructed and solid.

Yes, Virginia, Hyundai makes a truck!

I've been wanting a truck for a few years now, but didn't want to give up my Hyundai vehicle (2018 Elantra Gt). I love Hyundai cats because you get a lot of vehicle for the money! When I found out they have a truck now, I just had to go check it out. I'm glad I did!

Hyundai Santa Cruz

This is a really cool vehicle. I get asked a lot about it since I bought it and I enjoy driving it. It feels very nimble, especially for a trick and the highway gas mileage has been better than expected. I was looking for a small truck and I really like the Santa Cruz.

Treat to drive

I don't have a use for a full size pickup, or an over inflated ego to want one. I wanted a daily driver with good fuel economy and a small bed to haul home improvement supplies occasionally. This fits the bill perfectly.

Perfect truck for my needs

I previously owned a 2011 Honda Ridgeline and considered a new Ridgeline. However, after driving the Santa Cruz, I preferred the performance of the Santa Cruz over the Ridgeline. The Ridgeline has a belt drive transmission and did not respond like the Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz met all of my expectations and fit my needs perfectly. It's Wet Dual Clutch delivered very responsive shifting and the turbo provided the power and response I expected when accelerating.

Dealership took advantage and overpriced vehicle because I paid cash

Too expensive truck was 53,000 Then 46,000 with 7,000 trade in I thought truck would cost around 35,000 and with trade in pay about 28,000, boy was I wrong I think dealer took advantage of me By at least 10,000 dollars

Hard working fun to drive

I love my new Santa Cruz. I didn't need a truck all the time but when we did we were renting one. This is the perfect SUV Truck. It does everything I need and more. We have hauled 40 bags of dirt. I love the bed extender.

2023 Santa Cruz Limited Stone Blue

Excellent adventure vehicle for simple camping with dogs. Traveled up gravel and dirt mountain roads with easy, even in rainy weather. Remote start with different climate control setting is amazing when switching from hot to cold climates in the early spring. The thought into the bed area for tie down points and storge was excellent. -M

Wanted a compact truck. The Sante Cruz had all the features I wanted and more. And it was available to purchase immediately.

The truck looks great and drives very nicely (not really like a truck). It is very fun to drive. The interior finishes and features are very high level/quality. Exactly what I wanted, with some surprising extras I have appreciated.

I really like my new truck.

I enjoy driving my new truck. Nice style and handles very good. Hope to get the noise from the drivers door fixed. The manager and salesman were very helpful and understanding. It has a lot of power and features that I will learn how to use them. Hundai quality expected to be good as other hundai I know through friends and my personal experiences. The interiors are nice and comfortable. The truck didn’t bring floor mats that I was expecting to be part of standard equipment for this limited edition. This is the only concern I have about this vehicle. Overall the truck is very fun to drive and catch the attention due to his style and color.

More than just a little truck

We’ve looked at the Cruz for a year and decided to buy one a few months ago. We LOVE it. Comfortable, so good on the highway to pass other cars, and it has surprisingly made us smile many times already. If you want a great driving, sexy small truck………buy a Santa Cruz. We named our Scooter!

My NEW Santa Cruz

I have been watching this Santa Cruz since 2015, when it was in the drawing board. I gave it one year (2022) to get the bugs out and when the 2023 came out I went by to look at it. I fell in love with it, and the rest is history.

Don't expect horsepower and acceleration. Engine light on at 4500miles

I drive the SEL activity pack. I don't wish to speed, I never did but sport mode is a total joke. It's seems that it only gives you the delusion of driving sporty bc your dashboard turns red. That's all! Acceleration is a joke too. Engine roars like crazy if you need to overtake the slow Sunday driver in front of you. Or even if you have to accelerate at the entrance of the highway.. RPM reaches red area for the gear to shift. And of course we are talking about accelerating from 55mph to 65mph.. At 4500miles engine light turned on. It fixed itself 3 days later... For a new car its beyond dissapointing.. and besides that both blue link and my dealership mechanics told me on the phone "if it runs, it's ok" (LOL and again LOL) in some instances when braking, the car keeps speeding. This happened at least twice. As for the activity pack, its such a waste of money because it comes without Tow package. With that said, if you have a camper with electric brakes say bye bye towing it. They make a big deal for the tow hitch with the 4pin connector, however towing 3000lbs without electric breaks kills your disks and maybe you. Turneau cover wastes a foot of space in the truck bed. So if you have a tall box that is more than 3 feet length, the truck door has to be open. The car came at the dealership with scratches and a crack on the tail light. I noticed thankfully on the day of pickup. After 4 months of having that car purchased im still waiting for all these to be fixed. You can see marks from excessive glue removal. Great design, great comfort but such a dissapointment when you spent $38000 and not knowing if your engine is going to last and .ost importantly when you realize its not very "activity" as they claim it to be.

Love my Santa Cruz

Was initially looking to replace my 2017 Canyon with a larger suv. However when I saw the Santa Cruz on the showroom floor I knew that was the vehicle I wanted. I extremely pleased with my decision, it satisfies all of my needs, the quality of the Santa Cruz is impressive and I love all of the compliments I’m getting everywhere I go.
