Love my Santa Cruz

I was torn between getting a car and a truck. A car is a better fit for my daily activities but I do need a truck to haul stuff around. When I first saw a Santa Cruz, I thought it was the perfect combo of both worlds. It fits perfectly in my smaller garage while providing everything I need in a truck. It also looks awesome. I get compliments often on the unique vehicle style. I compared the Santa Cruz to the Ford Maverick (pretty much the only other truck that would fit in my garage) and the SC is superior in every regard I care about.

A sleek light truck which drives like an SUV

One of the best looking vehicles on the market. Reasonably priced. Drives by far better than any truck available. The other vehicle I was considering was a Ford Maverick Hybrid. If one had been available it would have been a tough choice. The Ford is cheaper and gets massively better mileage and has an extra six inches of bed length. The Hyundai looks much better and drives/handles much better.

Still Amazed

I wasn't really considering the purchase of a Santa Cruz, but upon the recommendation of a relative, started looking at them. I done the usual footwork, that is, research, reviews, pricing etc., then visited my local dealer, done a test drive and was immediately sold.

Worth It

It is excellent overall, quality purchase, but a little overpriced, could come with more features for the dealer price or reduce the price by 2 - 4 K. Gas mileage could be a little better 30 miles per gallon or better.

New owner

Very nice looking and an awesome value! Has everything I wanted except sunroof, which is available for more money. I definitely recommend the AWD for Colorado. My friends and adult children love its unique look and style. I wish it had bigger air vents and a louder stereo, but overall, I'm in love with my Santa Cruz!

Awesome Vehicle

I have used this vehicle for normal driving, towing a trailer and items loaded in the bed and it’s exceeded my expectations every time. The Santa Cruz makes perfect sense as an all around vehicle. Lux SUV and a capable smaller truck, great combination

It is a rocket, it is a truck, it is an SUV, it is a car.

Fantastic small vehicle. I use it for work and personal use. Fun to drive, very comfortable. Replaces my 2022 Tacoma. For me, hands down superior to the Tacoma. bu bbuvjjhb lblhj j, bhhjlhh khh vlbh

Great vehicle

Great vehicle, best description… “car that thinks it is a truck” which is exactly what I wanted. Drives super well and has all the comforts of a car and has truck attitude when needed. Installed roof racks to transport 21 ft carbon fiber racing canoes and is perfect, right height to load and very solid in cross winds. Super happy !

Great Vehicle

I love the vehicle. I don't use it as a truck very often, but when I do it has been great. It is the vehicle that meets my needs perfectly I have highly recommended it to several people who have stopped me to ask my opinion of it. It rides and handles like a car but is capable of carrying reasonable loads and pulling a boat trailer as needed.

Excellent compact CUV

Went from a GMC Denali to a Santa Cruz and could not be happier. Has all the bells and whistles I was accustomed to on the GMC plus some. Very happy. This is annoying that they put a min on comments but what to do

Great car

Love driving this truck. I like it even more the more I drive it. Great color and style. I wish the headlights were brighter but overall the truck is awesome. It drives very smooth and I feel like a queen when driving it.

They call this a truck?

since purchasing this Santa Cruz, I have been impressed with almost everything about it. The ride is smooth; the response is spectacular; and the quality is impressive. My wife fell in love with the looks of this vehicle the first time she saw one.

One year anniversary

Vehicle continues to perform well. Performance and styling were critical in my purchase decision. Dealership was easy to work with, so much so that 3 months later I purchased a brand new Hyundai Elantra limited.

Happy Traveler

I get complements all across the nation. There don't seem to be many in the East. I have people ask me about my vehicle all the time. Great style with an aggressive front end, very comfortable on long drives, love the smart cruse control.

Just what I was hoping for

Like everything about this vehicle. MPG has excided my expectations. If I could improve one thing I would give it a little more rear seat leg room. No vehicle is perfect but I struggle to find anything wrong with this one.

Works for me

I like the looks of the Santa Cruz. It drives and handles really well. Gets decent gas mileage. I have used it haul items for several projects around the house. Was impressed with how well it handled hauling several bags of concrete and gravel. I was getting 20 60 lb bags of concrete at a time. About the same of gravel. It was nice to have low tailgate level made it much easier. I like you can reach right over the side to get to things in the bed. I have used it to tow a Harley had no problems. I have had several trucks over my life from old small ranger to 1 ton trucks. For me this is right truck for what I need.

Santa Fe

Bough the Santa Cruz SEL Premium and love it! Have owned it for a year now and have put over 18000 miles on her. Still like new! This has all features of the Limited except leather and ventilated seats, which I did not want. Really enjoy the performance of the turbo and all wheel drive. Tows my boat easily. Just wish the bed was 5' long...

Love this vehicle

Fun to drive. The truck is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. The seats are the most comfortable of any vehicle I have ever owned. The performance is very good. All trucks have poor milage but this one high for a truck.
