Go Grete go!

Please keep in mind the majority of the time I drive my car I am by myself, with my dog and my Husband. We do not use the back seat for passengers unless it is my small grand kids for short drives.

Part truck and part family SUV, it's what I needed.

I didn't need a full truck and I needed a family SUV. This delivered on both fronts.

radiator issue not the only one with it

my radiator got hit with something and it had to be towed. the service people stated that something hit it and it broke the radiator and it was the 3rd one in the shop for the same reason. he recommended a net but why is the front grill not smaller in the openings to prevent these issues.

A lot of fun and function

My 2924 XRY has met all my expectations. No mechanical issues routine maintenance and excellent fuel economy. My total mileage is 14000. I enjoy the engine responsiveness And various driving modes. Particularly enjoy the AWD in the rainy Northwest. Turning radius’s and lack of proximity sensors took getting used to but otherwise exceptional tech makes up for it. Comfortable for a 6’3” man and a pleasure to drive distance on adaptive cruise nearly autopilot. Overall great value and met all my expectations

The Cruck

I have owned this vehicle for 2 years and for a 50 year old man with adult children it is perfect for me. The best features: are fun to drive, lots of power, covered trunk is great, I love the design, seats are comfortable, handles great. The backseat has little leg room so it would not be good for more than 2 adults. The fuel milage is not great. The best I ever got was 28mpg on smart mode on the interstate. I usually get on average around 22mpg for local driving. The Santa Cruz is the best driving vehicle I have owned. I highly recommend if it suits your needs.

Santa Cruz owned by Parker

Love the vehicle. But one problem, which would have been a deal breaker, the top cover on the bed leaks. They tell me this is normal for that style of top but when I was looking at it before the purchase I stated I travel and would haul luggage back there. I was told it would be perfect for that and the luggage would stay dry. Well, it doesn’t, it leaks. The dealership replaced some of the hardware, (the spring broke) and it leaked worse. Then a couple of months later they replaced hardware on the top its self. This did help a bit, but during a lengthy or hard rain it still leaks far to much to carry luggage back there….i can only travel by myself in this vehicle with my luggage in the back seat. When my wife goes, we have to use here Sorento. I love the car and have dealt with this problem as best I can, but not at all happy that I was told what I was told and that it remains a leaking problem. Personally, I think I should be reimbursed a bit if the cost for the inaccurate information and lack of ability to use the car as promised

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.
