Love my new truck!

It has everything I wanted and needed: Remote start, navigation, heated seats. I'm happy with the mileage I get, and the safety features like the lane centering and collision warning are great!

2025 Santa Cruz SEL Activty Review

Likes: Appearance, style and driveability. Dislikes: Complexity of dashboard settings / computerization. There is a point where technology is taken too far in a vehicle, particularly with the older generation.

Economic Truck

Gas mileage is amazing. Better than my previous small Chevrolet car I traded in. Comfortable ride. Love the big dash screen and phone projection.

Turbocharger, sun roof, electronic suspension, 5,000 Lbs towing !

Our Santa Fe is quieter and more comfortable, but my favorite vehicle is our Santa Cruz.

Nice small truck with great features.

Wife’s long waited truck. Many things to like, fun to drive, good fuel economy and great AC system. Wish they hadn’t cheaped out on SEL trim level, or reversed steering wheel controls (cruise, phone and infotainment), causing problems switching between other vehicles. SEL Infotainment system leaves one wanting. Still a Hyundai fan.

Doesn't have much power from a standstill.

If I am at a signal and I need to take off quickly (whatever the reason), I have to plan ahead and switch to sport mode. If I am in normal mode, I will not be able to pass someone. If I am trying to merge onto a freeway and there is a vehicle there, I have to slow down because I know my Santa Cruz doesn't have immediate speedup power.

?

Vehicle died or shut off on major highway at night. Lost headlights and everything for a few seconds. Everything came back on and we continued. No check engine or anything came on. As if the complete vehicle lost power. Idk but it was scary. Hasn’t happened since. Vehicle had around 2,000 miles on it when it happened. Has 3,200 on it now. No other problems except transmission seems jumpy or something. Never had a cvt transmission before so that could be it.

Nice

Well satisfied with it. Very comfortable on the road (surprisingly so) and it pulls my fully loaded trailer with little effort. I give it 5 stars.
