Great vehicle, but blind spot makes repurchase impossible

I like everything about the vehicle except the horrific blind spot, right rear window area

Okay

After 20,000 miles ERG light continues to display. The vehicle is now at the service centre for diagnostic and we have been without the vehicle for 3 days. Not sure if Hyundai has the professionals needed to provide customer service for the vehicle.

Solid UTE / SUV Few Complaints

The vehicle is great overall with slight issues with hesitation and occasional screens going blank and back on. Also sometimes the sound goes just to the back speaker. its just sone weird glitches that i’m not fond of.

Just what it should be

We call it our Struck as it has all the creature comforts I love, and the truck aspect which my husbands wants.

Outstanding vehicle

Love the Santa Cruz and have wanted since they first came out in the market. Enjoy the drive and rides smooth in the city and highway. Very comfortable vehicle. Only wished they came in silver and sorry to hear that 2026 is the last year for production in the USA.

Fun car to drive. Lots of peep. Driver side seat belt gets stuck sometimes. You need to change something there.

Love my Santa Cruz

I absolutely love this vehicle! I'm a 67 yr old woman and it checks every box for me: comfort, functionality, style, technology and economy! It's easy to drive, although with a little more road noise than I prefer, but the safety features and gadgets more than make up for it. I haven't really had the opportunity to use it as a truck yet, but it's nice to know the bed is there if I need it. The dash infotainment center is massive but so sleek and easy enough for me to figure out. I have to admit, I do miss the convenience of a hatchback for grocery loading and unloading, but that's about it. I love it when people ask me about my car/truck (cruck?) at gas stations or in parking lots. I always tell them I love it!

Fun to drive…

I love this Santa Cruz because it drives like a car. The turbo makes it more enjoyable to drive. I don’t mind that the bed is not that big. It’s plenty enough for my weekly yard chores. Plus the sage grey color makes it look so clean all the time.

Vroom Vroom Loving It

I LOVE my Santa Cruz! It drives beautifully, like a classy car, but it can also take a beating in the truck-bed area, which I regularly use for hauling and camping gear. The passenger area and truck bed feel worlds apart in terms of comfort and function, yet they come together perfectly in one vehicle. It gives me the smooth, comfortable ride I want without sacrificing the practicality I need. So far, I couldn’t be happier with my Santa Cruz!
