Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz is awesome & now I can pick up stuff from hardware stores without having it delivered. Rides really smooth but great pickup. Looks awesome too!!! The mileage per gallon is also great, I don’t need to fill up once a week anymore.

Good at so many things!

Our Limited 2023 Santa Cruz has been an amazingly versatile work truck and commuter. We've used the bed multiple times and thought not as large our our F-350, it's still very practical for smaller loads. The comfort of this vehicle is wonderful. The quiet cabin, smooth ride and adaptive cruise with steering assist help the miles pass with ease.

Wish I Hadn't Purchased It!

There are only a few good things about this truck. It's compact and looks sporty. It's got modern features and conveniences like being bluetooth and smartphone app capable and a Bose sound system. The driver's side seat has electric adjusters but no memory. The downsides... to get in behind the steering wheel, I have to adjust my seat out or hit my head and then adjust the seat back up to drive. Once in the car, it's really comfortable.. It has heated / AC seats. It has a wireless phone charger but none of us can make it work. The dealership says that's due to phones having cases on them. Most people have a case on their phone so what was the point of including that in the car's features? Storage is seriously limited and even adding storage to the visor won't work because the windshield is too close so you have to take your visor accessories off to drop the visor when needed. It has a medium size console but it's set back so it's not easily accessible to the driver (unless they are tall and have their seat positioned backward). To make a phone call, it almost never works on the first try and maybe not even on the 2nd try. To remote start the car, it might work and might not. If it does work and I need defrost, it'll turn on my AC instead. To use the near field access, it might work or not, leaving me juggling a bunch of things in my hands to find my keys. Great acceleration... if the transmission doesn't slip and gas mileage is not what it's claimed to be. I'm getting about 20 mpg city and highway combined but I'm in a rural area which is more open highway than stoplights.

Santa Cruz Premium 2023

Very pleased to have Santa Cruz. So far so impressed with overall performance along the safety feature of my little fancy Truck. Would have been nice and comfortable driving if it was equipped with heated steering wheel. So far so good.

Love the looks, drive and versatility

This is a great vehicle for driving, shopping, family, and hauling. Great style, features and safety. Lots of space for passengers and stuff. People stop to ask me about it and to see the interior and truck bed

Jack of most trades!

Santa Cruz, great Sport Activity Vehicle. Meets most of our families needs as a primary vehicle for my wife. Seats household of 5 adequately. Safety and handling of AWD. Great for carrying large items, tie down or good chance of sliding.

Great small truck for daily use and fun

If you are looking for a daily driver that's fun, useful and has great style, this is it. You have the flexibility of an open bed with the style and comfort of a small SUV. The ride and comfort are excellent. The audio system is on par with other OEM high end systems. The front seats are especially comfortable, even on long trips. The driving position is solid with good visibility, however the rear seat headrests do hinder the visibility from the rear view mirror. Having the blind spot view camera is a big help. The wet dual-clutch transmission is smooth and responsive and the 2.5T has plenty of power. What it lacks are memory seats and front/rear parking sensors on the limited trim level, which is a miss. This is NOT a full size truck, and it doesn't pretend to be. The bed is small, but useful, with cleats and a rail system built in. The tonneau cover is nice, but mine broke after only a week. I ended up getting it fixed easily. The under bed storage is nice, but smaller than the Ridgeline. Bed lighting is also nice. Overall I really enjoy my Santa Cruz and I'm looking forward to many happy miles.

I feel the overall quality and performance are very good

So far I am very pleased with the Santa Cruz. I like the style and performance of the vehicle. The only thing I think it lacks is more storage up front otherwise I am very happy with it. I think it is the best looking small size truck out there.

Very impressed with quality, comfort, styling and performance.

This is our first Hyundai and we have been very impressed. The vehicle feels and sounds very sturdy while driving. Performance is very sports car-like while still having a comfortable smooth ride. We are really enjoying the driving experience.

Great car great value great experience

I wanted a ford maverick, couldn’t get one. I chose a Santa Cruz instead. No regrets. It’s a beautiful vehicle that’s fun to drive! Would recommend if you are looking for a cross-over with a bit more utility. Not for everyone maybe, but a great vehicle nevertheless.

New Santa Cruz

With only 1500 miles quality and reliability remain to be seen. However initial drives are satisfactory with ride and noise levels adequate. Styling and uniqueness of vehicle was definitely a consideration with the purchase of my 2023 Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz Night

If you are looking a small fancy truck it might be a good choice, but it's not an out door car. Back trunk is too small and almost the same as a SUV. Go to upper trim to have better cruise control ability it docent worth AT ALL. Sound quality for music is terrible. If you get a new car be ready to suffer smell for a while. But it's smooth and easy drive the same as SUV not a truck for job

My new Santa Cruz

My First truck of any type and I am loving it. Everything I could want in a vehicle. Safety features, enough power, comfort and NAV/Music. Want to thank Weisner Hyundai for taking care of me and especially my sales guy Bob Mitchell and my service person Frannie Lancaster.

Great vehicle and smooth ride.

Went looking for a efficient AWD vehicle, and found this Santa Cruz. Very fun to drive and not to big to become awkward in tight spaces. Also happy with the fuel economy of this little truck. Plenty of room in the bed for supplies.

Good buy

Great truck/suv. Hard to see blind spot but the blind spot detectors in mirrors do a good job. The driving assist is pretty annoying and some times it will jerk the handwheel so i recommend turning it off.
