If I had it to do over, no way.

This is,unfortunately, the lowest rating I have given to the Hyundai vehicles. It is very uncomfortable, when accelerating, it sounds like you are sitting still revving up the engine and many other things I am unhappy with. If I had it to do over again, I would have purchased something else.

Great vehicle, however the cabin space is a bit tight

Has been a great car, I like the looks and the flexibility of having a cargo bed to haul our mobility scooters,I wish the tailgate was lower

i got screwed

I was buying a truck to pull an small camper Had the sells location put a hitch on. It was sent to a local company The hitch now leans down when being used The truck was suppose to tow a small trailer and it is terrible when towing It went down to almost 5 miles to the gallon and the hitch is so low the pole on the trailer almost drags the ground Am not pleased with towing capabilities nor the way the hitch was applied I paid over $800 for the hitch and didnt even secure it properly or put the correct hook ups on it

My 2025 Santa Cruz

Love the vehicle, drives well, and feels solid. I do not drive very far to the office, and just run errands around town. So I have only had it serviced once. It will have oil change, and etc. when the mileage is due. Only complaint is I wish the roll cover was water proof, it's not.
