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.

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).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Research and Test Drives Put the Santa Cruz as the Leader for Small Pickups.

If you are in the market for a small pickup, then the Santa Cruz is the best bang for your buck. I looked at the Ford Maverick and Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Honda Ridgeline (the other midsize pickups were not competitive in features or performance). I kept coming back to the Limited Santa Cruz. The Limited is loaded with features and utilizes storage space well (but not as well as the Ridgeline. The 2.5L AWD Turbo Engine/Transmission sounds like an old Beetle Volkswagen BUT the turbo can get UP and GO! (better than all the other pickup trucks I test drove). The switchable AWD is also a nice feature. The LED lights are also a plus for me when driving a night. Cooled seats in the Limited are a nice feature for those hot drives. This smaller pickup truck has only a 4'x4' truck bed but is easy to get into and I can still park it in the garage where my old sedan was parked. There are room for improvements to get a 10 across the board but this sporty small truck always gets second looks and is fun to drive.

The New El Camino

This vehicle is like an upgraded version of the old El Camino. It's a car with the functionality of a truck, it's AWD so it can go to the beach. It has a towing capacity of 3500 so it can tow a jet ski border small camper trailer. It's the perfect vehicle for those that like adventure and style.
