Never thought I'd say this, but...I love my truck.

I agonized before buying. Zero regrets. I love the color, and the functionality, and the trim package, and I love how I now have a vehicle that drives like an SUV, but delivers like a truck. Thank you, Hyundai!

I enjoy the driving the Santa Cruz. The use of the truck box is great!

I had a Hyundai Sonata for the past 17 years and really liked it. I was looking for a small truck and Hyundai had the Santa Cruz, which will fit my lifestyle since I go the city dump quite a bit and can get at least 4 containers in. I'm sure I'll enjoy this car/truck for years to come.

Love the Santa Cruz. Glad I purchasedit.

I've been looking at the Santa Cruz since it came out. Loved the looks and concept. When I decided to start the buying process, I went online and couldn't find a bad review. My wife absolutely loves it. Win Win for me.

I looked for a vehicle that would be useful for my needs in the future. Hyundai Santa Cruz fit the bill and I am extremely pleased! The overall experience continues to amaze me. It does everything I need and more. And, I am still learning about all the useful features.

Overall good vehicle

I love everything about this vehicle. The only negative of this vehicle is the comfort of the seats on a long distant trip. The look of the vehicle is great. The performance is also wonderful. But wish I could only choose different seats that are more comfy.

Head Turner

Beautiful vehicle. Constantly gets looks and compliments. Modern technology and design. Not the best gas mileage, but smooth ride. Acceleration is a little choppy at times, but great vehicle none the less.

Santa Cruz Limited

I had many vehicles. Usually a truck and sporty car or a truck and an suv. The Santa Cruz combines all that into one cool vehicle. Performance of a sporty car, ride of an suv and utility of a truck made this a no brainer for me. The icing on the cake is the cool look of the SC. People stop me all the time to ask about it. I have to say its the best all in one package I've ever seen for someone who only wants to maintain one vehicle.

Like a modern day El Camino

The Santa Cruz is a wonderful modern car, that feels like driving a sporty car, but is easy to get in & out of, and has a small truck bed like an old El Camino. That allows you to haul large items that won't fit in a trunk, without needing a full size truck.

Everyone is always checking it out and asking how I like it!

I've been a Tacoma owner for decades. I was not expecting to make anew purchase for another couple of years - and that would be a new Taco, or so I believed at the time. My wife brought me with her while she was making a deal on a Tuscon and I saw the Santa Cruz in the showroom. I was curious, so I came back the next day for a test drive. I really enjoyed the responsiveness, I felt like I was driving a sports car! With all the technology, carrying capacity, and COMFORT, I was so impressed I traded in my Taco on the spot! I have not been disappointed with my Santa Cruz since.

A real head turner

Almost a day doesn’t go by that someone stops me to comment on the looks of this truck. The main reason I bought is that my wife would never drive a truck, but as this is basically a Tucson cut into a truck, she is very comfortable in it. The truck features are really cool, and the horsepower is amazing. It will really get up and go.

A blast to drive!

The Santa Cruz drives like a sports car and is great looking. Very nice interior and fantastic infotainment system. The bed is very useful unless you have large, very heavy loads. For almost any other task the bed is perfect.

Handles well , good pickup, meets my needs for carrying extra things and i liked the style. Also the towing capacity attracted me. The backup camera feature is a plus as well as the other warnings.the paint quality Attracted me also

Transmission issues

Purchased a 23 and it has transmission issues bouncing the rpm’s searching for a gear. Like your running out of gas. If you step on it, it will quit. So under normal driving conditions on flat roads it has issues.

Love this vehicle

Hyundai nailed it with the Santa Cruz. It’s the coolest looking vehicle on the roads. Handling and performance is flawless. ( Fortunately) I have not had the opportunity to see how it does in the snow. I have had so many double takes and positive comments on the appearance

Poor Customer Service

My loan amount was not corrected and I was charged an extra 750.00. No call backs were made by the manager or anything. I even went in person. That is the treatment you receive when you purchase a 43000 dollar vehicle.

Great driving truck

This is a great driving truck! So far it’s been reliable with no issues. I like the extra storage spaces under the rear seats and truck bed and the 120v outlet in the bed! It’s quite on the road and I love the styling!

I love my Santa Cruz !!!

I have a mini cooper , which I used to drive small cars , but when my mini run maintenance issues , hard to find a good tech and cost way too high to fix . so I decide to change different brand . I consider to buy a truck but I kind hesitate to drive big cars till I saw this Santa cruz. Cool + cute + practical+ 0 down payment +economic compare with other truck price . I love the car play + remind for clear the back seat or my phone still in wireless charge or road status . Really thoughtful functions , special someone like me forget something in the car often ...All in all , I love my santa Cruz and cant wait let him take me to travel all the places :)

Nice for a not truck

Easy to drive. Looks like a modernized version of the Subaru Baja. Interior lacks open storage to toss phones wallets easily. No memory seat option on limited model. Radio Home Screen could be less cluttered. Has paddle shifters that are unnecessary since this isn’t a sports car….
