Great little SUV with a mini truck bed

3rd Hyundai and everything important owning a car is perfect with our Santa Cruz . Comfort, conveniences, tech, smooth drive, gas. I leave etc. only thing I would say is there is not a lot of storage for luggage etc if you don’t have the model with truck bed slide something to keep in mind if you go away on weekends etc

1st time owning a Hyundai

I’m very please with the vehicle as well as the performance. I like the driving assistant, the safety of the gas tank, the notices when the vehicle would be updating its software as well as when I forget to lock my car. The car paint is real nice and the large screen(dashboard) touchscreen. I like that the passenger can control own side of air heat or cold and that the backseat passenger has an air vent as well. Like that I can transport my school items in the back of my Santa Cruz and not worry that all my papers would fly away. I was very happy either the customer service and salesperson.

Very nice

Love the Santa Cruz. The one thing I would like changed is that the backs of the back seat come down as I wanted to put covers on them and couldn't.

Well equipped stylish light duty truck

Overall great little truck. Rides smoothly and get lots of compliments. Does have hesitation or like a skip feel when acceleration happens not sure if normal. But overall quiet interior. Stylish. Sporty. Thoughtful touches like truck bed lighting, ample compartments inside and in the bed. Like the rear middle window opens. Wish the bed was a little longer so standard boards don't stick out so far and like 2" wider for plywood and get rid of the wheel wells so plywood can lay flat. Like the hard locking cover but takes up prime space in bed.

Best of both worlds

This vehicle has all you need, great handling, good power, technology and also versatility. If you're not working in construction or any other job that requires loading big stuff this truck has enough space for you.

Everything I need in a vehicle and more.

I believe this is the do it all vehicle for any size family carry the kids their stuff for games and some of their friends to.For us we always buy stuff that don’t usually fit well in a car but the small box is a god set for not having to tear up the inside of the car.

Vehicle is just average

Vehicle is average, nothing fancy for what they charge for the car, hugely under powered and way too small of gas tank, spend more time at gas station than driving. Mileage is way worse than advertised as any wind, hill it can not climb. Back seat too small to fit adults so don't plan on having and back seat passengers over the age of 10....Car seat may not even fit

Hyundai needs to correct possible deadly malfunction.

Serious problem. May cause death and serious injury. Needs to be seriously addressed by a trained mechanic. Computer did not find any problem. Almost in an accident due to problem.

small changes would make it better

Overall, the 2025 Santa Cruz is a good CRUCK (Car/Truck). It does everything I need it to do.
