Wish it was a hybrid

Initial acceleration is fair at best, once moving acceleration is great with the turbo and the 2.5L. Gas mileage is what i would expect from a V6, I know the AWD is a contributor to that.

2024 Snata Cruz

Nice mini truck, comfortable ride. Biggest issue all wheel drive and poor transmission gear system, so you you get poor gas mileage for a small truck

Love the Design, Hoping for Great Winter Performance

I love Hyundai’s vehicle designs and enjoy trying different models. If I could, I would buy a new one every year just to show them off! After I bought my Sonata, I noticed about five others in my condo community. However, I wasn’t happy with its performance in the snow, so I switched to the Santa Cruz. I hope I’ll be happy with how it handles winter snowstorms.

2024 Santa Cruz

I am 85 and my last 3 trucks were a 2017 GMC Denali Ultra; 2010 Nissan Titan crew cab with an 8 foot bed; and a 2000 F-250 crew cab. Honestly my Hyundai Santa Cruz is more enjoyable than all three.

Like the rugged/sporty look. Not good for family/kids based on seating space.
