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.

Love This Truck

This was the prefect vehicle for us. Very comfortable, easy and fun to drive. Looked at other small pickups and the Santa Cruz was just what we were looking for. My wife loves driving it (can't say the same for other trucks I've owned).

Smooth

Well rounded SUV/Mini Truck. Turbo & AWD were the major selling points. Pickup bed and sporty looks were drop dead on point. Perfect for bad weather (snow) with it's all wheel driving. Just a nice little sports vehicle. Limited edition provides all that will ever be needed on a vehicle. Highly recommended.

Great All-Round Vehicle!

This is our second Hyundai vehicle and we are extremely excited about it! It is highly capable especially with All Wheel Drive and has abundant storage for anything you can think of. Visibility is amazing and comfort is quite good considering the price. Make sure you try to make use of Hyundai's amazing financing offers that come up once or twice a year!!

Built to handle the long haul

I’ve had this vehicle for about a month and I’ve yet to have any reason to regret it. The safety features are handy in a pinch and its different drive modes work well with anything. Overall outstanding.

Absolutely Amazing!

My Hyundai Santa Cruz is the Best car I’ve ever had so Far. It’s the most Beautiful color for A car. I Love all the FEATURES! The Sound is Excellent! The Car is used for Clients . I sell Real Estate in Austin, Texas. Also, I use my new Car for my 3 Dogs. It’s a Great car for both professional, Casual Outings, and, for Adventure. I picked the Color Sage. It’s a unique shade of green. It stays looking clean. And, easy to maintain .

Love It

I have had my Santa Cruz for a month and have just over 400 miles on it so far. I average around twenty mpg around town and have seen 25 highway. I love the feel, comfort and ride. It is fun to drive and looks great. I was looking at a Ford Maverik but they are not available and I didn't want to wait. The Santa Cruz is very similar and I really like it. I'm glad I got it. I wanted a vehicle with good gargo space cause I carry a lot of tools at times and needed space to carry them. I have a full size truck but it is very thirsty and can be very expensive to drive. The Santa Cruz is my daily driver now and my big truck is for heavy hauling needs.

Love my Cruz

Was looking for a truck bed in a truck that was car heighth. Tried the Ford Maverick. Was very disappointed in the Maverick. Seen a girl at the dentist driving the Santa Cruz and she spoke highly of it so we went and test drove one and by that evening I had my Cruz in my driveway. I love everything about it. They offered so much more in this vehicle than the Maverick and they aren't a 2 year wait.

Sales staff was good but wouldn't negotiate on the price.

Only had the truck for 300 miles. Hard to say anything bad about it so far. Need to review it after 30-50,000 miles. Love the styling. could use better tires on it. Price was ok. They are all expensive any more.

Some minor issues with the touch screen controls

The seats seem fairly comfortable, albeit a little stiff. There should be more lumbar support/controls. The touch screen controls for the climate control seem to close to the bottom edge and are easily bumped and accidentally changed.

Great ride, great looks.

The vehicle rides so well. I had a business trip which required me to drive a mid-size coupe. I couldn't wait until I got back into Santa Cruz. It rides so much better. I like the layout of the vehicle. It has good pickup an all around great vehicle. The one draw back is the locks. The sensor on the door handle of my the passenger side does not work well. Approximately 80% of the time it will not unlock the doors.

A truck that feels like a car!

We are retired and wanted to purchase a larger vehicle so that my wife felt safer driving as we age. The Santa Cruz was a perfect fit. It feels like you are driving an SUV, but it’s a truck! People always stop us and ask about it because of the futuristic look.
