Ok

The only two problems that I found so far with 2000 miles on it are first as you start to takeoff it hesitates a little and then everything is normal second the windshield wipers. If you get ice on your windshield you can’t lift them up to get the ice off they hit the hood piss poor design.

BUCKLE UP,AND ENJOY YOUR RIDE

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE STYLING AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE TRUCK.ITS JUST ENOUGH FOR MY NEEDS ,NOT TOO BIG AND OVERWHELMING.,THIS IS A VERY ACCESSABLE VEHICLE.AS I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A SMALLER, OLDER, 2008 CHEVY COLORADO,AND WAS USE TO THE DYNAMICS OF BEING IN A TRUCK. AS FOR THE TECHNOLOGY,THIS OBVIOUSLY WAS HEAD ABOVE,AND IT WAS LIKE GOING FROM A BIPLANE,TO THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE,AND I GUESS FOR MYSELF, THAT MAKES DRIVING A JOY.

Love the look and features

Be careful when it comes to your radiator because it is not protected like it should be. A rock hit and damaged our radiator after only having the truck for a little under a month and the warranties did not cover this repair. We had to us our road hazard insurance.

Good overall

The turbo model is ok but the transmission stutters at low speed. The price is a little high. Other then that it’s fine. I think I would have been happier with the normal transmission. The bed cover is nice.

Quite fun to drive and very practical.

We like having 3 vehicles, and we already have a Tucson and Ram pickup. I traded a Mustang for the Santa Cruz as I needed something a little easier to get in and out of. I'd considered a Jeep Wrangler (not easier to get in and out of) and a Ford Maverick. Ultimately I chose the Santa Cruz due to the options on the limited package. It also dives very much like the 22 Tucson we already have. It is AWD and Turbo charged, so it has plenty of power. We don't often have anyone in the rear seats, but we both can move forward for the rare times that'll occur. I suppose I might have found a Maverick with all the options I got on this one, but I do like the style a little bit better and I enjoy the ride. I think in the long run the Hyundai will outlast the Ford. I only gave it 4 stars because even with all the options it does have, there is not a power passenger seat, no front or rear parking sensors, and no drop-down arm rest in the rear. The short bed in wonderful, especially with the roll top cover.

Good gasoline mileage love the style fun to drive

I have only started the journey with the Santa Cruz I hope to have many enjoyable experiences. The safety issues are of concern not able to clear windshield in poor weather conditions is a problem and the hood appears to be loose not secure while driving it looks like it bounces up and down. And of course the scratches that are on it from when I took delivery the loose exterior door molding and excessive window noise while windows are closed.

Pretty Great

It’s a unique vehicle that still feels familiar to drive. I’ve received several compliments on it, the baby blue color is really pretty. If you’re looking for a small SUV I’d really consider this as a more standout option.

A Not-Button Issue

If you want comfort, utility and cool - this is the car. It's fun to drive, it's got a little bed you can get dirty and the interior makes you feel like you've paid more than you did. If you want buttons, this is not the car. The entertainment system, air system, navigation - even the speedo and odometer use touch screen controls exclusively and they are tiny. It's no understatement to say that those controls are all totally unusable if the car is in motion. It would endanger myself and everyone else on the road to adjust the speed of the air circulation. I have made peace with this and figure it all out before I put it in drive but it is definitely annoying to feel like I have to either stop or put my life at risk to use 95% of my dash.

Great, if you don't need it serviced.

I wanted something with utility, but I didn't want the cookie cutter truck, SUV, or Sedan. The Santa Cruz certainly isn't cookie cutter. If you don't need a truck for hauling anything other than air, the Santa Cruz is a good choice, but the leg-room in the back and the 1980's style adjustability of the front passenger seat is annoying. But since I am normally the only one in my Santa Cruz, those limitations aren't bad for me. The problem, at least for me, is getting your vehicle serviced. I have been trying to get ahold of the service department (calls, emails, website) for over 3 weeks and I can not get a human to talk with me. When I call, the phone rings 5 times, then it hangs up on me. Every. Single. Time.

Good vehicle so far

Have only had for short time. So far all is good. I may update after I have owned the vehicle for a longer period. I have had it for about 1 month. I am still learning all of the features. The infotainment system is a lot to learn.

Great Vehicle except…

I am very happy with the vehicle after only 30 days or so…the looks, performance and fuel economy are exactly what I expected…I am having an issue now with chipping finish on the smoked chrome front grill but I have begun a claim with my dealership so we’ll see where this goes

Outstanding design with great color, but with some flaws

I was attracted to the Santa Cruz because of the great looking style. The idea of this vehicle being a SUV with a short truck bed is a good description. While it does not yet come with a hybrid, I did get the top trim line (Limited) that includes a turbo engine (along with many other nice features).

Great All-Round Vehicle!

This is our second Hyundai vehicle and we are extremely excited about it! It is highly capable especially with All Wheel Drive and has abundant storage for anything you can think of. Visibility is amazing and comfort is quite good considering the price. Make sure you try to make use of Hyundai's amazing financing offers that come up once or twice a year!!

I really like my new truck.

I enjoy driving my new truck. Nice style and handles very good. Hope to get the noise from the drivers door fixed. The manager and salesman were very helpful and understanding. It has a lot of power and features that I will learn how to use them. Hundai quality expected to be good as other hundai I know through friends and my personal experiences. The interiors are nice and comfortable. The truck didn’t bring floor mats that I was expecting to be part of standard equipment for this limited edition. This is the only concern I have about this vehicle. Overall the truck is very fun to drive and catch the attention due to his style and color.

Treat to drive

I don't have a use for a full size pickup, or an over inflated ego to want one. I wanted a daily driver with good fuel economy and a small bed to haul home improvement supplies occasionally. This fits the bill perfectly.

I like the styling, engine and maintenance gurantee.

The vehicle rides nice, its quiet, the controls are easy to use and it has many safety features that I like. It has nice styling, all wheel drive, and I can hall some items that I couldn't with my old vehicle.

Looks great and easy to handle

Great for a weekend getaway to the mountains and fun to drive on the freeway when you need to get somewhere fast. Great features like built in cooler in truck bed and outlet. Driver assist and rear cross traffic warnings work great.
