I purchased it in Florida and it fits my needs for a small truck.

I refused to accept it from the dealer as it was not prepped correctly. The salesmen recleaned the bed but it was still stained and still is. I get a faulty break message and the dealership in Michigan can’t get me in for weeks. The gas mileage is well below the advertised amount.

My Santa Cruz

We went from a Tucson to the Santa Cruz. I like the feel of the Santa Cruz it has a sport truck look an feel. The engine and transmission was a surprise. It has more power and torque than the Tucson. Overall a fun vehicle.

After I installed the towing receiver , it towed very well.

I love it, my wife hates it she has anxiety and doesn't like it when I put it in auto pilot.

Seat comfort and leather quality let down an otherwise great vehicle

We purchased a 2024 Santa Cruz Limited as a replacement for our six year old Acura MDX, which we used to tow our camper trailer on frequent short- and long-distance getaway trips to state and national parks. As a tow vehicle the Santa Cruz is top-notch, with power to spare, excellent ride (way better than the Acura it replaced), decent gas mileage, and only a requirement for regular fuel rather than the premium needed by the MDX. As an around-town vehicle, we appreciate the nice ride, good handling, generally quiet cabin, and unbeatable utility. One place that it falls flat (somewhat literally) is the front seats. They’re just not very comfortable, and the passenger seat is especially uncomfortable. The seat bottoms are hard and flat, and long stretches of driving lead to sore posteriors. The seats could really use a cushioning upgrade, and we’ll likely purchase seat pads to make up for what they lack. Another low point is the quality of the leather used in the seats. Our Santa Cruz had significant wrinkling of the leather in several locations. It was bad enough that our dealership got approval to replace all of the seat covers with brand new under warranty. Unfortunately, the new covers are not really any better than the original ones, but we’ve decided to live with it rather than press for another replacement set. It’s disappointing, but we otherwise love the vehicle and expect to keep it for many years and many miles of camping adventures.

Perfect blending of small truck/SUV.

The Santa Cruz functions as a small truck and family SUV while providing a comfortable drive with good mileage (over 30 on highway), and lots of pep.

Comfortable and capable

We do love our Santa Cruz and it has proven most capable. My only concern is with long term reliability of some factory accessories. The tonneau cover and fuel injectors have caused other owner's problems, and I hope after 5 years they don't become very expensive repairs. There are minor oddities that are design defects that seem overlooked by Hyundai - no notification if tailgate is open, no ability to switch to FM radio from steering wheel button shortcut, no way to make adaptive cruise control just plain cruise control, can't use factory oil changes earlier. Most defects are minor inconveniences, but still annoying.

My 3rd Hyundai and the worst

No way you can fit an adult into the back seat. The seat cooler doesn’t do anything. No rear seat belts buckled and the seats raised up and still every time you turn off the vehicle it still dings and displays check the back seats. You turn the lights to “off” and there’s still a lot of lights burning in the front. You cannot select or view the cameras unless you’re parking. I bought this as a hunting vehicle for a ranch and it’s noisy and too lit up. I’m very disappointed.
