A specialty vehicle that does almost everything while looking good doing it.

I need a vehicle that is great on the highway, able to fit 5 people and some luggage, impress folks at the valet, but also keep up with my active lifestyle. This truck is the closest that a vehicle will get to those requirements. It’s is amazingly styled both inside and out and has all the comforts to go along with it. The engine is powerful and efficient allowing for easy highway cruises or hauling/towing your gear. The short bed is functional for most of anyone’s needs. The occupant space inside is roomy in almost every direction and can fit 5 medium to large occupants. The truck also has enough versatility for loading up kayaks or canoes, bikes, or almost every active hobby you can name.

Best car for your money

This truck is comfortable, stylish and enjoyable to drive. Hyundai really did a great job designing this truck for people who want a truck that makes a statement. I have my dream vehicle now and will enjoy driving this beautiful truck for many years to come.

Zippy Utility Vehicle

It's a great looking truck. That's the main draw for me. It has a quiet, smooth ride. The turbo engine is surprising quick. It's a sneaky fast little truck. The utility of the flatbed is nice for sporting equipment, camping gear etc. It feels fun and adventurous on the road.

Great design, Practical and drives great

The car is very practical and gets great fuel economy. It looks great and has almost all of the features that I like and need in a car. I hope it comes out in a hybrid or electric version one day. Great job Hyundai !

Great AWD Turbo Truck!

Great design, gas mileage. Very comfortable/ lumbar support. The only negative thing I would say is front grill and bumper paint chips easily for being low profile. Also door protective stickers came off. Love this vehicle, just wish front didn’t chip easily.

I got many compliments on the Santa Cruz! It’s fun to drive, spacious front seats, a little tight in the backseats a good truck bed area

I love the look of the Santa Cruz and have loved it for two years and finally purchased this 23. I love the color, the ride and the space in the front. And I love the cordless charging pad. I get many compliments on my beautiful truck.

Night

Love this little truck. Just wish I would have gotten the higher trim. Could have invested more into the sound system since the truck is geared towards hipsters, stereo definitely lacks. Other than that, I’m happy.

Fabulous vehicle, love my truck

I have loved the Santa Cruz since I first viewed the concept pictures years ago. While it took some time for it to come into production, it was worth the wait and I am completely satisfied. Hyundai has a winner here!!

2023 Santa Cruz Limited-1 year, 28k mile ownership

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a great compact four-door pick up that is fully loaded for less than $45,000. It has unique features, great styling, acceptable, fuel economy, and a powerful drive train. It is missing a few minor marks, but overall worth consideration.

So far so good.

The SC is a sharp looking truck. I considered a Ford Maverick but the ones available were used and priced much higher than my new truck. The night edition in Phantom Black is stunning to look at. I am glad it was what I bought even if I had to have a coil pack replaced at 600 miles.

My new Santa Cruz

I enjoy driving my Santa Cruz. It drives like a car but the back end is all truck. I like all the standard features. The only thing I would have liked is a trailer hitch. They do sell them but it would have cost me around a thousand dollars to have it installed. I can not wait to take it on our first road trip. I can see where the paddle shifters will be a great help on the mountain roads and the cruse control will be welcomed on the opened freeways. I get complements all the time on the look an color of my new truck. Over all I am very pleased with my Santa Cruz and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a midsize truck.

Best truck on the road

I bought this truck in July and have been very satisfied. It’s big enough for what I need and small enough for my family to feel comfortable driving it. It’s good on fuel for a truck, and it’s by far, the best looking truck on the road. I get so many stares and thumbs up from people next to me on the road. It also has plenty of daft lett features if that’s important to you. Not the most powerful vehicle, but that’s not a deal breaker for me.

This little truck is stylish and tough. It's perfect for me.

I absolutely love this stylish little truck. It is perfect for me. I use the small bed to transport gardening supplies, and it suits my needs perfectly. It also provides a comfortable ride, wonderful safety features in snowy/icy conditions, and very good fuel efficiency for a truck.

2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz 11,000 miles as of this writing and owned for 1 year

I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing a Hyundai product because I had mainly drove Toyota or Honda products. However, I researched and fell in love with the Santa Cruz and decided to give it a try. I am exceedingly happy with my vehicle and the long warranty offered by Hyundai clinched the deal. It is a very comfortable and useful vehicle to drive and operate. I have the Limited turbo option which offers great power when needed or just wanting to have some sporty fun.

2023 Hyunda Santa Cruz SEL Premium

This is an extremely versatile vehicle for anyone needing the everyday use of a sedan with the occasional need to haul. It's an outdoor enthusiasts dream car with off-road capability, plenty of storage, and modern conveniences. If you have a sunroof with factory cross bars, you're going to experience a lot of noise when having the roof open. Listening to music or even having a conversation will be tough. Other than that, I have no complaints and am extremely happy with this truck! With the features and versatility of the bed, I'm able to haul 4'x8' sheets of flat material with no problems or concerns at all! The factory tires are a little underwhelming, so I did replace them with a slightly more aggressive tire that set it apart from a Santa Cruz right off the showroom floor. Other than that, I think it's a great looking vehicle that will definitely turn heads and start conversations! With the AWD model, you can expect 18-19 average mpg's. Highway driving will get you about 27mpg on the high end. With this being an off-road capable vehicle with lockable 4x4, I'm happy with that. Overall, it's a vehicle that will give you small truck (5,000 lbs) towing with the mpg and comfortability of an SUV.

Really good and reliable drive but it could have a better mileage and MSRP.

The Santa Cruz should drop down the price comparing other brands and also should increase the mileage system in it. I would suggest they should make electric or at least hybrid to get a better mileage.

Fun to Drive

The 2.5 Turbo with 281 HP in this light truck is really fun to drive. Interior is luxurious, compares to luxury cars. The infotainment system and driver assist features are a plus for a small truck like this.
