A great vehicle. A few more items and it's perfect.

The Santa Cruz is an awesome vehicle! Quality, performance, comfort, features and style are all top notch. Add drivers seat memory, passenger seat power and a rear center console/cupholder and you have a perfect package! The open bed makes many of the household tasks much more convenient. Need to haul your lawn mower or snowblower? Fill the gas can at the station? Haul things you'd rather not bring "inside"? Or just need that extra trunk space? Move small furniture? The number of uses for the bed are unlimited. Road trip? Need the comfort? Power? Mileage? The Sant Cruz fits the bill! Great vehicle!!!

Santa Cruz 2023

We wanted a 4-door cab short bed truck and the Santa Cruz met all those requirements. We purchased the 2023 version knowing that the Santa Cruz was new to Hyundai. The truck is still new to us and still getting used to all its features never having owned a truck before.

Awesome!

I chose the Santa Cruz because of the look. The version I purchased is the Night and it looks Great! If I could have found it cheaper else where I would have flown, driven, or hitched a ride to purchase. With the internet location is no longer an issue.

2023 Santa Cruze

I am very happy I discovered the Santa Cruz. It’s stylish, well equipped for the value. And of course comes with the unbeatable warranty. I would recommend the Santa Cruz to anyone in the market for something different and fun.

Rides smoothly not like previous trucks comfortable safety features a must

We are 80 and 90 years young and still very active. We traded a nissan rogue2018 and a 2016 Elantra and had to finance very little. 0 % financing. Great salesman and dealership very friendly. at our age not our first rodeo and has become a chore to trade vehicles. This was a very pleasant experience

2023 Santa Cruz

This was the best bang for my buck. I didn’t need a big truck and wanted good gas mileage. This thing is Awesome great gas mileage lots of power and plenty of storage for my needs. Price was a factor also and this won. Did not like the maverick from ford. Really liked the warranty too.

Hyundai Santa Cruz purchase

The Santa Cruz is awesome. Drives and handles like a luxury car but the advantages and fun of a SUV or truck. I have not found anything about the vehicle that I dislike. I recommend the Santa Cruz for anyone that enjoys the outdoors.

good truck

I love this truck. I purchased this for all wheel drive and a small pickup bed it took care of both of my needs. I was going to buy a Toyota pickup but I saw this on the lot and really liked the look. I took it for a drive and bought it on the spot.

Nice vehicle

I love the car. It’s not really a truck. It is a very cool concept and I like the idea of a vehicle covering two segments of the market. I do feel the body has to much tool on curves and although the brakes work they could be former feeling.

2023 Santa Cruz SEL with Activity Package

We use the Santa Cruz as our regular drive. It is comfortable, easy to drive and park, and practical for most of our purposes. Neighbors and even strangers remark about how great the vehicle looks and ask "what is it"!

Great Ute

Overall this has been great so far. Very practical and it fits 4 people reasonably well. There have been some transmission recalls but hopefully they have this fixed for the 2023 models. The only real downside for me so far is the gas milage. I would love a future hybrid version of this.

Just test drive it!

This truck is amazing for its size. It feels like a sports car, with truck capabilities. The 2.5L Turbo engine is remarkable. It has great pickup and some really great safety features. The truck has its own look and style. Very smooth looking, with a really cool sparkling clear coat.

Not like any other

I wanted something unlike all the other SUVs and we already had a pickup truck. I tried a car but then I saw the Santa Cruz Night! Perfect! This thing is sporty, has towing capability, rides comfortably on a long trip and it doesn’t look like every other vehicle! Love it!

Great vehicle that is fun to drive!

This truck is so fun to drive and has all the safety features that I could want. It handles well. The truck has a lot of room inside- including the back seat! The seats are comfortable and the car looks awesome!

Great all around vehicle

Thought I was going to have to get a "Basic B" crossover. Fortunately there's an alternative out there. Just enough suv and just enough truck. The bed is incredibly versatile. Under bed "trunk" for small items that would roll around. Lots of lighting in the back for unloading at night. Pulls my 5x10 trailer with ease when taking loads to the mulch center and landfill. Wish there was a tow mode. The driver assistance features are great. The interior is very nice and comfortable. Ride quality is great. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

See below

We were looking for a smaller vehicle (as compared to a Ford F-150) that still provides adequate cargo space for hauling items to a cabin etc. The Santa Cruz behaves like a car, SUV etc but has a well sized "truck bed". The integrated tonneau cover is easy to handle, and the bed material does not require the purchase of additional protection (rhino lining etc). The standard safety features on this vehicle are comparable to what we see in the Genesis GV80 we also own.

Feels great riding it

Did not know about car when shopping for new one. Was looking at either a Palisade or a Telluride when I saw this at the Hyundai dealership. Loved the style ,ride ,and features and had great towing capacity for the turbo model. So far so good have it 3 months no problems. People like the look and have had number of comments.
