Santa Cruz Review

I love my 2025 Santa Cruz. Rides like a car and can utilize it like a small truck. The only negative thing I can say about the Santa Cruz, it does not come with the previous years “plug & play” towing harness. In order to make your vehicle tow ready, one has to remove the dash to install a module behind the fuse box, then attach the tail end of the harness at the rear of the vehicle (4 or 7 pin). Hyundai motor company you can do better.

3rd review requested from hyundai

At 3 months and 3700 miles, no problems with the vehicle itself except for transmission clutch shudder on the R-2-4-6-8 clutch pack. The transmission still functions and clutch shudder doesnt affect it at this time. The only complaint i really have is that the pinholes in the fake leather seats trap every little grain of dirt or anything else introduced to the vehicle. It would be nice if they were slightly larger or just didn't exist at all.

A truck that rides as a near luxury sedan.

Albeit ride quality doesn't quite match my previous luxury sedan, it comes awfully close. Very comfortable, quite zippy but smooth. The technology works flawlessly. I am enjoying the 2025 Santa Cruz very much, as has near luxury ride with a truck bed.

Everything I expected it to be

Perfect little utility vehicle for me. My business truck is a Ford F350. The Santa Cruz saves me money on fuel when I use it for estimates or just to throw some tools and a ladder in the back for minor work. It's comfortable and handles well. Even though it's only a low budget SE I'm just fine with the way it's optioned.

My truck

I love it. I like its sleek lines and its pickup. I can do almost anything. I don't worry about whether something will fit inside. It's just enough for me. Handles well in wet weather. Easy to maintain.

Good with a few quirks...

This truck is just the right size for my application which includes mostly commuting with some light duty chores. Good looks, performance, and value and is very comfortable to drive daily.

Hyundai has come a long way, but I don’t think they’re there yet

Overall, I have a positive experience with my Santa Cruz, however, I think there are a few things that Hyundai could do to improve the vehicle
