Overall a average to good truck.

Average to good truck (really a 'trucklett' it's so small). I liked the tech, i like the truck in general but the seal for the truck bed storage compartment came loose and Hyundai never had the replacement seal available which had water leaking into the body of the truck rusting it. Brand new truck in it's 3 year on the market, you'd think they'd have parts for it. Nope.

Santa cruz after 1 year.

A little overpriced for what it is. You are paying for it's truck style back end. Other features, options and size are comparable to compact SUV's that are around 5k less. Great for around town and if you need reliable transportation of things you don't want in a trunk. Better engine and gearing would give better mileage and a improved driving experience.

Attractive exterior. Cheap interior. Poor mileage. Lousy acceleration

I enjoy the outward appearance but would not buy again without much improved mileage, better interior design, and actual ability to accelerate as required.

Fun vehicle but glad for the warranty

The Santa Cruz is a blast to drive but craftsmanship seems poor. The second I drove off the lot it was vibrating on the highway, the brakes shuddered, and the drivers door often didn’t close all the way on the first try. Now a few months in, the touch screen is flickering. All this to say, but when I bring it to the dealer, all they tell me is they can’t recreate it but if it continues come back. Doesnt help that every Hyundai dealer is extremely backed up. They has my car for two days and didnt even have time check all my concerns.

Traded it in

Wasn’t happy with the DCT transmission and potential issues and then Hyundai announced no DCT for 2026. Was going to trade it in for a non DCT Santa Cruz but decided I missed having a truck. Traded it in on a new Tacoma with six foot bed.

Worst driving vehicle I’ve ever owned

The driving experience in this Santa Cruz is the worst I've ever experienced. The driver assist features are constantly trying to send you into on coming traffic or in the ditch. On top of that the fuel mileage is terrible for a vehicle of this size. My Ram with a V8 and 500hp got the same fuel mileage.

2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Tonneau Cover

Our tonneau cover was determined by dealership on 7/7/25 to be broken and has been on back order now for 6 weeks. We believe this is a ridiculous amount of time to be waiting. This agitation has only added to our frustration with Hyundai in general based on the awful experience purchasing it at Napleton Hyundai in Carmel, Indiana.
