Beautiful truck, great ride.

The good. It is a beautiful, and very comfortable vehicle (limited leg room in the back). We like the styling of it, especially the front grille, and the interior is very comfortable with roomy front seating. Large infotainment screen is intuitive to use. I love the heated and cooling seats. Is a very comfortable and good drive. All in all, it's a very comfortable, unique, and different vehicle that you don't see a lot. The not good. The inverter for the plug in the bed of the truck is very weak.(minor issue) Top trim does not come with wireless Android auto.(medium issue) We purchased the vehicle to tow a trailer for a specific date, but the tow wiring harness has been recalled and Hyundai is slow to offer a new version, meaning I can't tow the trailer the date I needed to.(Major) Dual clutch transmission is a little jerky starting off.(minor) With the exception of the electrical harness for towing, my overall opinion of the Santa Cruz is high, and if I could do it all over again I would certainly buy one again.

The answer to the common SUV's biggest miss: an open bed

I've always liked the unibody concept of small pickups like the Subaru Baja (or the Brat, before that!), so when Ford and Hyundai came out with their uni-trucks, I started looking hard at them. One of my sons bought a 22 Ford Maverick since he works in the trades and needed something cheap with a bed to hold supplies, etc. It's nice, simple work truck but Ford obviously cut corners on build quality and features to keep the price down. It really is a budget truck. The SC is less like a work truck and more like an SUV. If you're not in the trades, but looking to do occasional "truck stuff", the SC is the nicer pick. The bottom line is that you get what you pay for. The SC costs more, but you get more quality, refinement and warranty out of the deal.

Excellent Vehicle, Awesome Dealership

Could not beat the professionalism, price, performance, and availability. Dealership treated us with dignity and respect. They included a $500 Military Discount that 2 other dealers never mentioned. Love the power and towing capability.

Love my Santa Cruz!

I bought my 2023 Santa Cruz after months of researching and looking for a small truck. Dropped in for a test drive and fell in love! Great gas mileage, excellent tow capacity for size and fun to drive!

Santa Cruz Review

The vehicle so far has handled amazingly well. I haven't had any issues with it. The a/c work very well. There are no issues withe the breaks or speed. The phone link is very convenient for when I need to use the GPS or access other things while in the vehicle without having to use my phone. Overall it has been a pleasant experience.

All great except for cruise control.

Love the vehicle, but the cruise control doesn't perform as expected.It shut off randomly and does not set unless your foot is off the gas. It will not resume previous setting if you accellerate around a slower car.Has to be reset,

So far we are extremely happy with purchase. The salesman at dealership was excellent. Showed us how to adjust everything, paired phone adjusted seats mirrors etc. Was a great experience and happy we decided to go with Humble Hyundai.

Very pleased with purchase!

My most favorite vehicle ever! Santa Cruz is versatile with the truck bed but rides like a luxury SUV. It is very comfortable and I love my cooling seats!!! My husband is 6’4 and fits very well. My friend calls it the magi CB car due to the neat features besides the cooling seats like heated seats, heated steering wheel, bird’s eye view included with backup camera, the side view cameras when using turn signals. We are just amazed at all the features included for the price! Love our Cruz!!!

Northern Virginia - Safford Hyundai

The Hyundai Santa Cruz outperforms the Ford Maverick in all important categories. It is zippy, eye catching and a ton of fun to drive. The real difference is the Hyundai customer service experience. Dealing with Sales, Service and even Parts Department is actually a pleasant experience!

Nice car, fuel economy, very good features

I’m so happy with my new Hyundai Santa Cruz, it’s cute. Also it has a pretty good guarantee which is an important thing to me. It is plenty of room inside and in the trunk, I really enjoy open the sunroof in the sunny days.

Santa Cruz

The team AT Hyundia are great. I love my new Santa Cruz, styling is great. Gas mileage is good for a truck. Would recommend taking a test drive to anyone. It is a great vehicle for the price. My spouse says he will buy another if he wins the lottery

Awesome ride

The smooth, quiet ride, great handling, and excellent sound system make the Santa Cruz a lot of fun to drive! The safety features are also very nice. There are a couple of things that could be improved, but overall an awesome vehicle.

Fun, stylish, very functional CUV

Great vehicle for all kinds of driving needs. It has excellent payload and towing capacity for its class, is fun and easy to drive, and being new in my market, it is rare and turns heads. Love the Blue Stone color.

LOVE IT

Very stylish. Have received a lot of looks and compliments on it. Rides smooth, great infotainment system. Lots of features. Smarter than me! Roomy and comfortable interior. Disappointed that the passenger seat is not auto. Rear window is distracting in rear view mirror. Back up camera is awesome in the dark.

Just Fine!

I replaced a chevy s10 with the Santa Cruz. I liked the styling of the Santa Cruz and the bed was the perfect size. I use the bed for hauling bags of mulch and throwing my metal detectors in the back. The truck runs just fine with the non turbo engine, the main thing I wanted was all wheel drive. I am pleased.

2023 Limited Santa Cruz

Perfect little car for my wife, she just loves it for her Real Estate business. Also very functional. Lots of people love to ask questions about it or sit in it. So far in 3 months of ownership, no issues.
