Will Miss my Santa Cruz :-(

Not sure why you are asking for opinions on a vehicle that is being discontinued. Hyundai made several huge errors that probably made this model unsuccessful. First, the DCT was ENTIRELY the WRONG transmission for this kind of vehicle. It’s a sports car transmission, not a truck transmission. I understand this was rectified for the 2026 model, but too little too late. I shudder to think how much $$ it cost to replace so many DCTs under warranty and for the life of me, cannot figure out why it took Hyundai 4 years to figure this out. Also, it was a total miss to not make a hybrid or EV version of this model. It was possible, the Tucson has hybrid versions. An EV would have flown off the lot. Hyundai would have finally had a good looking EV. Frankly the Hyundai EVs are the ugliest on the market.

SUV with a small truck bed

Needed new rear suspension @ 30,000 miles which they did replace as they were under warranty. But, I have NEVER put any heavy weight in the back and have only driven it on flat surfaces. VERY happy with their warranty which is why I went with hyundai in the first place

Horrible vehicle; Horrible warranty

I really wanted to like thus vehicke. It looks nice. However, tat is about all that is good with this vehicle. Horrible gas mileage (14 miles per gallon), very uncomfortable seats and alot of outside road noise. Vehicle currently has about 4,000 miles on it abd the check engine light cane on. I took it to the dealership to check it out abd I was told I would have to pay $249.00for diagnosis services abd that it wasn't covered under Hyundai's "outstanding" warranty. It appears that Hyundai's "outstanding" warranty is not worth the paper it is written on; except perhaps for toilet paper. I would not recommend any Hyundai product to anyone!

Not consumer friendly

The vehicle is overpriced from the dealer. Depreciation after purchase proves that. Your oil change intervals shorten the life expectancy of the engine for future purchasers. Hyundai isn't the only manufacturer but all your engineering designs in the name if improvements dont improve anything enough to justify the cost of repair. So let's just say you are not selling to better the consumers experience.

Perfect size for my needs.

I no longer do construction work, so I don't need a big bed truck. This is perfect for grocery and trash runs. I also got a bed extender and it came in handy when I purchased a 75 inch TV and brought it home. Gas mileage is averaging 24 mpg. I've owned several trucks and never got the mileage like this before. The ride is very comfortable and in the winter the heated seats work great! One last thing I purchased this because it was rated to tow up to 3500 lbs. I towed an 18 foot pontoon boat with no problem at all.

Love our Santa Cruz

We love the comfortable interior and still have a pickup bed to haul thing. We live in a rural area and are VERY happy with our gas mileage, usually around 32 or 33mph.
