Santa Cruz Early Impression

Love the appearance and the interior leg and head room but surprised with the mediocre quality of sound system and integrated control capabilities. Difficult to learn the Bluetooth capabilities and operation.

Good Blend of SUV and Truck

Bought a new 2023 SEL, overall happy with it although biggest complaint is that the non-LED headlights that came on it are terrible, huge safety issue. They corrected this on the 2024 models but have not made it possible to change them in my 2023. Have been happy with its versatility, good storage, rides well and is fairly quiet for a Truck/SUV. Handles well and plenty of power if your not a hot rodder. Pretty good in winter weather/roads but definitely need to use snow setting and will be putting better tires on it once factory one's wear out. Really like the looks but wish it was available in different colors (RED). Has been reliable so far but only 1 year old with 7500 mi's. Has met our need of an SUV and a Truck very well. Milage for mixed normal driving has averaged around 22/23, could be a little better and wish it would kick down to a lower gear when using the pedal like it does when using the cruze control. Assuming it maintains its reliability and durability we would consider another one down the road.

Great Vehicle with minor issues. Super Fun

Minor interior and reliability issues. Roof rack whistled and ultimately I had to remove it. After a year the fans start to make noises on cold starts and the edge to the window is a bit uncomfortable on my elbow but not too bad. It’s super fun to drive and I feel safe and confident on the road. I love the styling and look forward to further improvements on the model as a whole.

Looks and drives great

Great car/truck for the price, has get up and go when you need it to move, it gets good gas mileage, roomy for 4 to 5 people with a lot of storage under the seats and in the baed of the truck, love the tano cover over the bed

Nice second vehicle fun to drive decent gas mileage. I like the looks of the Santa Cruz inside and out. This is not a luxury model vehicle however a good value for the price paid. So far it’s been dependable and runs well.

As stated in review title I’m happy with the Santa Cruz so far. I had it for one year and it runs well. I believe it is a good value for the price. Sporty looking and functional. It’s not a luxury vehicle.

Great dealer service

The people at Greg Leblanc in Houma, La. were very helpful in the purchase of my 2023 Hyundia Santa Cruz. Cody Hamilton the salesman I worked with was great. He had to order my truck. He even gave me his cell number if I had any questions. I was kept informed of the building and in transit status of my truck by Cody. I have been telling everyone that ask me about truck to please go to Greg Leblanc and ask for Cody

Small Truck Meets my Current Needs

Bought new, traveled to another state 220 miles to avoid the local market adjustment of $5000. Home Skelton Hyundai, Olive Branch, MS, doesn't add market adjustment. Local dealership has ordered a new antenna for my vehicle which will hopefully allow my radio to receive FM stations. I haven't had FM since delivery over a month ago. I'm thankful for the SiriusXM trial period otherwise I would be driving a quiet Santa Cruz. Factory should check radio function before shipping vehicle to dealer. I do like my Santa Cruz and that's the only problem I've experienced.

Fun, functional, and beautiful!!

I love this compact truck! Not only is it stylish, but its safety features are amazing. In addition, this truck pulls my boat beautifully. I don't even notice it's there. And the gas mileage is out of this world. I drive in SMART mode and have an average of 30mpg! When I go camping, I fill the under bed storage with ice, food and beer! It's the little features like the built in "cooler" that make this truck so much fun!

Great style, engineering and ease of operation! I'm am so glad that I didn't make my other choice of a Ford Maverick, which I hear is being discontinued! I am so glad that I chose the Hyundai Santa Cruz!

Pretty Good

First of all, I like blue stone color. About my car, so far so good. However I don't appreciate one thing. When my car is unlocked, announce me every 4 min!! It should be depending on a person or location or a person's habit. Tx

Excellent

Love this vehicle. Have been following it since it was a concept vehicle. I’m 6’4”, wish it had just a little more leg room for rear seat passengers. Safety features vs price a huge plus in choice of this manufacturer.

Sporty and efficient

Purchased this for my primary work vehicle. I'm in outside sales and use this to visit job sites and haul small amounts of materials to my work crews. This is a great improvement in comfort and efficiency over my previous full size pickup truck. I really enjoy the roominess of the inside of the vehicle as well as the styling. It has all wheel drive so traveling in central Ohio during the winter will be no issue. Anyone looking for a great vehicle to commute and haul a marginal amount of stuff in an open bed will be happy with this vehicle.

Excellent

Couldn’t have found a better vehicle for the price. Styling and vehicle warranty are the best in the business. Having a 2015 Tucson currently, made my decision that much easier. Was going to purchase a Ford Maverick but when I saw the Santa Cruz and started to compare both, the Santa Cruz blew the Maverick out of the water in all phases.

All positive so far

The total package is great to look at and great to drive. The turbo engine has more than enough power to get you out into busy traffic. Interior features including the Bose system make trips enjoyable. Safety features help keep you aware of your surroundings. The truck bed allows transport of loads but is short enough to allow the truck to fit in the garage.

Love my Santa Cruz

I fell in love with the Santa Cruz design when it was just photos of the concept vehicle. I waited impatiently for the Santa Cruz to be actually produced and I am absolutely thrilled. It is exactly what I hoped for and more.
