Sporty truck with lots of features

I have only had this truck for three weeks, but so far it's exceeded my expectations. The engine doesn't question when you say "go" with the accelerator. The features are far to numerous to list and all are very useful. I have limited use of the truck bed, but works for my intended purposes. Comfort is superior to anything I've owned and far above my Dakota's of Nissan Frontier that I traded in, The safety features are very welcome. Quality of interior is far more plush as well. The only flaw or my perception as a flaw is the lack of turn knobs on the stereo and climate controls. While driving, it becomes a task to change these features, but may get better over time as I become more accutomed to them.

Great little truck

Purchased when first came available. In the year that I've had this vehicle ive put 20k miles back and forth to work. The drive is comfortable, the handling is great. The seat dont get uncomfortable within the hour drive to or from work.

Great car / truck that is very east for my wife to drive and has been very handy for her antique and vintage business.Great styling and has a lot of features that you normally would not see in a car in this price range.

Great Truck

Took it off roading and had a great time by far the best vehicle I have purchased. Thank you Austin for helping me get into this awesome truck. I love my Santa Cruz! I love that it's fully capable of anything I want to go out and do.

Love the styling and comfort

Fit and finish is not as good as my 2019 Veloster I traded in. Some exterior trim pieces are damaged upon delivery. Headlights are horrible and can’t even see at night if it raining. The roll up bed cover does not seal against tailgate. Bluelink has never worked even on my Veloster which I also purchased new.

Exceeding all expectations

This vehicle has exceeded all of my expectations. Happy to have made this purchase and enjoyed the ride each day. Better ride than my wife’s new Acura and my teenage daughter wants it. This has been one of the best new car purchase experiences. Very happy with the choice!

Best. Truck. Ever.

This truck comes loaded with great options! The style is very sleek and the truck is very fast when needed! The overall comfort in the front is phenomenal! In the rear, there is limited leg room, but it's still a great truck overall! I would highly recommend!!!

Love this Car/Truck

Only owned this car/truck for a month and only have 600 miles on it but so far, no issues. It rides like a dream, great suspension system. Very stylish appearance. Very comfortable ride. Not sure I like all the electronic bells and whistles but then I'm 72 and old school. Slowly getting used to them.

Just trash!!

Headlight was out within 6 months then another 6 months with the same side, after changed the second times of headlight now the break and turning lights! Also the passenger door was rattled after drive a few months and the most annoyed is the driver door got defect every time you open and close sounds like about to break apart, plus the bed door included the sliding on the top sometime it’s slide and open by itself! I wouldn’t recommend to anyone! Stay away!

None

Nothing to report with the car. Thanks for giving the opportunity to buy and drive a Hyundai. The windshield is not the best one out there need a stronger one to compete with other brands out there…..

Great sport truck for the money, it can't be beat for performance and price! A sports car ride with a truck performance great towing capacity and lots of storage! There are a lot of accessory options available.

Outstanding multipurpose vehicle

The Santa Cruz does it all. I town my 1.5 ton boat and trailer with it, I get gas without worry that I might spill a drop somewhere. I take chairs, coolers, wagons, canopies, etc to the beach with ease. Finally, it drives like and SUV and it's quiet. The infotainment system works great and the Bose sound system is amazing. Gas mileage is pretty good for a turbo charged all wheel vehicle.

great practical vehicle, bad tonneau cover

Overall an excellent vehicle. observations: The DCT is more of a rally car sort of design than a rock crawler's transmission, so not like a conventional truck with slow steady torque, more of a revvy higher speed machine. The turbo engine is spirited although a little laggy off the line. The OEM tonneau cover is not worth having. User experiences vary but do not expect it to keep water out, which is one of the primary functions of a bed cover. Infotainment system on the limited works very well, though the shiny black finish and no physical buttons does not suit everyone The smart cruise control is artificially restricted to the limited trim, which is inconsistent with the rest of the hyundai lineup and practically a crime. no power seat for the passenger on the highest trim level, which is off-putting

Great Trucklet

It's a great little truck and SUV , or SAV as Hyundai calls it, it is really quiet and smooth driving with room for small weekend hauling from the hardware / garden center, the tiedowns and tailgate help with 4x8 sheet hauling

Excellent AWD Mini-Truck

When Ford dropped the ball with customers on the Maverick and Honda over priced their mini truck AWD model - the Hyundai SANTA CRUZ took the lead with the best options, performance, quality and price that put this truck in the lead of the mini truck AWD race.

Great ride, fun to drive, quality is good. Design is good, price comparison to competitors is good. Would like to see a few changes especially the color choices. Compared to the competition it's a good deal.

It feels Rush putting together

I appreciate this vehicle, but the seat cover moulting broke within 500 miles. It's not a deal breaker, it drives okay but the quality of the truck is suspect with the molding breaking right away....

I Love My Santa Cruz!!!

Fun to drive, great gas mileage, and does what I need done, all while looking great!!! It is nimble in traffic, a joy to drive, and it gets attention! The radio could be better in its stock version, but the wireless Android Auto is a good addition! I love my SEL w/Activity Package Santa Cruz!!!
