love the truck

Over all I love the truck. It has a few quirks, but I would still buy. The road noise is my biggest concerns. I thought it would be quieter with big tires. The Vents are small and narrow don't really like the design. The Media screen goes black intermitted. Sound for radio not that good and I REALLY MISS A CD player. I'm old school and don't stream music and don't know how and also I don't want to learn.

Great car - ride feels more like in a car, then in a truck

This truck is very comfortable inside and ride in it very comparable to a ride in a high level types cars like Lexus. It has most of the hi-tec belts and whistles you might need. Yet, it has a trunk of a truck and you can put it to work like a small truck.

Styling

I waited several years for Hyundai to come out with a pickup truck. I was hoping for a two door but they only made a four door. The overall design is spot on. It is totally different like Dodge did when they redesigned the Dodge truck to give it the big rig look. People like something different. Would like to see a hybrid for better economy. No plug in electric. Would like to see some advertising on tv for the SantaCruz

not very satisfied with the transmission and or the software installed.

the vehicle design is great, the inside could be a bit bigger though it is good for the size of the car. the transmission issues and or installed software during my first year have not been great. I would definitely have to think twice before purchasing another Hyundai.

Love this little truck

I'm happy I made the decision to purchase the Santa Cruz. It's been a dependable, capable, fuel efficient vehicle. Was looking for a vehicle that got decent gas mileage and the Santa Cruz delivered on that.

2022 Top of the line model with the turbo.

I had no problem with this vehicle and even touted about the uniqueness of this Sport Adventure Vehicle on many different vehicle sites. Even joined its Santa Cruz forum, where owners of this vehicle have a wide range of topic's to discuss about it. Even other truck brand owners join in the discussions or compare their vehicles to it. People in the market for this vehicle, or a compatible one, come for information prior to purchase. I advise every one to come and view a forums discussion's and topic's prior to purchase. This where you can learn about its defective grille (chrome peeling ) problem. Straight into the 2023 model year. They had a transmission problem. Which they successfully resolved through a recall. Hopefully they resolve their chrome peeling problem before you make your decision.

Hyundai Santa Cruz is a special niche vehicle

I wanted a modern replacement for my Subaru Baja. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a very similar (very small 4 crew cab pickup). The only other options were a Ford Maverick and a Ram model that is not sold in the US. The Form Maverick was not available at the time.

Hyundai Santa Cruz 2022

Hyundai Santa Cruz is a stylish and sleek sport Activity Vehicle. First impression sleek, comfortable, performs well, minor defects include wiper motor power does not operate well in extreme winter snow, and radio needed replacing already did not have even a year.

Wow!

I was in the market for a small truck. The Ford Maverick was my first choice but they couldn’t deliver one and would have to wait a year! Well, I am glad it did not work out. The Santa Cruz is better than what I expected. It serves the purpose of a casual truck but rides like a car. It is an eye turner with its great looks and Hyundai incorporated all the bells and whistles. Turbo, AWD, a retractable cover and rear sliding window make this hybrid truck a winner.

thorough review of vehicle

I was able to clearly state my concerns. However, the questions about purchasing the vehicle did not allow me to choose Santa Cruz so I chose the Santa FE which was different from the choice of Santa Fe. That section also did not let me choose the correct year. Overall, easy and not too long to complete. Glad to have opportunity to review vehicle as well as to review the questionnaire.

Awesome Ride

The best of both worlds! Comfort like a SUV and space like a truck . Back seat perfect for the dog to travel to the park. Always getting compliments on my ride. Didn’t even consider any other vehicle when it was time to turn my lease in.

Not happy

Not very happy with the Santa Cruz at alll. Thought would be a fun vechical to own. This my first purchase of the brand. I don’t think I would ever buy this brand again. The number of recalls are making me even feel worried about driving it.

Wonderful small truck!

Purchased this base Santa Cruz a year ago as a second vehicle. Very pleased with the overall design and performance. Absolutely no issues during my first year of ownership. Availability was difficult at that time so it took a lot of research to locate a dealer who had one in inventory and sold at list price! Kudos to New Port Richey Hyundai as they were wonderful to deal with! My only regret in hindsight was that I didn’t move up to a more optioned model as the base lacked some features that I really could have used!

What Kind of Truck Is That?

The Santa Cruz attracts a lot of attention in parking lots! It attracts both men and women fo all ages. At first, I thought it was only appealing to younger guys but have found that not to be the case at all.

Love my Santa Cruz

Great vehicle. Love it. Performs well. Great look to it. The sound quality is very good. All of the added features such as lane departure, maintenance notifications, etc. are great as well. It even tells me when I leave my sunroof open. Which is definitely an added bonus!
