My little truck

It’s kind of a SUV car truck. Fun to drive, gas mileage is good. Design is outstanding. A bit overpriced.

Does everything I need it to do

Does what I need it to do, but is lacking a few things that would've made it a perfect "10".

Nice little truck. Could be better.

Needs backup sensors. Needs more rear passenger room. Great tech. Nice ride.

Smooth, quiet ride

Just took the truck on an out-of-state trip. The gas milage was pretty good. The ride was smooth and quiet. I love sitting up higher. Having some trouble with the bluetooth automatically activating my Spotify on my phone whenever I get in the car.

Some great updates, with a lot of missing software features.

Overall I enjoy a lot of the new features this vehicles has over previous generation however there are a few missing features and changes that hold it back. Climate control no longer activates, heating and cooling seats, it has to be done manually. The system to ensure you are keeping your eyes on the road is a massive nuisance, doesn't work well if you wear sunglasses and constantly kicks you from adaptive cruise control, It says you can turn it off in settings but it doesn't actually do anything and will remain on. The OTA updates take forever and won't update when the vehicle is off. You no longer have driver profiles so you can't set your drive preferences to "SMART", "SPORT", etc. Same problem I ran into with the previous gen Santa Cruz, the fuel capacity is 18gal but after the first tank or couple hundred miles it somehow calculates only 15ish gallons making your go from 400-450 till empty down to 300-350. Fuel economy isn't very honest you get 27 on the highway at most but typically get 18-20 in the city. Hopefully Hyundai gets this sorted

Good with a few quirks...

This truck is just the right size for my application which includes mostly commuting with some light duty chores. Good looks, performance, and value and is very comfortable to drive daily.

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Very nice vehicle that has great gas mileage, provides you a fairly quite on the interstate and is comfortable on the long drives; but if you plan on doing any camping or using the Santa Cruz to haul anything, then you will be disappointed as the towing limit is weak 3500lbs and payload is only 1100lbs with 2 people on-board.

Hyundai has come a long way, but I don’t think they’re there yet

Overall, I have a positive experience with my Santa Cruz, however, I think there are a few things that Hyundai could do to improve the vehicle
