2025 Sta Cruz

Vehicle is great. Color is nice. I only wish for two things: a bit better gas mileage and larger cup holders.

Almost perfect

I’ve liked everything about my Santa Cruz except passenger side roof molding trim flew off with in first couple months. Review indicate others with same problem. Definitely an engineering or manufacturing problem. Overall a nice truck with great options.

Love my little truck!

Couldn’t find another affordable front wheel drive truck. It was perfect for what I needed. The electronics are wonderful and use. Drivers seat is very nice! Only things I wished it had that it doesn’t have on my truck is heated steering wheel and non-white seats.

2025 Santa Cruz

I only have 550 miles on it so far, but so far I like all the safety features. Still learning what all the buttons do. I went from a Toyota Sequoia. This truck has enough power for me.

Santa cruz

Matrock has just a little over 3000 miles. It's only a year old I've had just manner glitches and went over. I have taken it in to have it service. The service department, it is wonderful.They take up a lot of time with me.And explain everything. I have an appointment next week because there is a recall on my truck that I feel like will fix the small problems that I have plus I am getting mud flaps install.

My 25 versus my 24

Overall the vehicles are almost identical. I am disappointed that the 25 even though it has the activity package as a trim level not an option as on the 24 did not have built in navigation, or the ability to upgrade. My wife purchased a 25 Tucson Hybrid SEL Convenience with the same glass dash and display and it is equipt with it. Every time I start the truck I have to set the display like it. After 2 months I am beginning to miss the seat covers of the 24.

Great truck for a mature woman!

I needed a small truck to take trash to the dump. I also am an animal foster and I sometimes have to carry kennels and crates to different places. The Santa Cruz is perfect for me- easy to drive and park in parking lots, easy to get into and when I take my 99 year old Father places, it is very easy to put a wheelchair into the bed of the truck. I am very glad I bought it.
