Great Truck!

My Hyundai Santa Cruz is reliable, comfortable, and, most of all, the perfect truck for my busy everyday life. I love everything about this truck, especially the features and overall driving experience. The only downside is that the rear bed lid is a bit heavy for me to close. Other than that, I absolutely recommend it.

2 nd Time Cruzer

Traded in a 2022 SEL Premium after owning for 5 years. I was one of the 1st Santa Cruz owners in my area. Picked it up in October 2021, fell in love from the first time I saw it. Never had an issue. That’s what made me purchase my new 2025 Santa Cruz Limited. Still in love. The upgraded features are amazing. Dependability, comfort and style remains.

I love everything but...

Overall I love the car. I HATE the lag at takeoff. That is really a hazard. When I press the accelerator - it sits there for 2-3 seconds before moving. Otherwise I would give it a 10 as fun to drive.

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is GREAT!

Great performance with the turbocharged 2.5-liter producing 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Sleek styling on the Limited AWD trim package. Get up to speed with the eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and paddle shifters. Very smooth riding mid-sized truck!

I Enjoy Leasing This Truck, But I Don't Want To Own It.

This Santa Cruz is fun to drive and quite functional but it's engine is way too small for this size vehicle. This truck's four cylinder engine isn't going to last when it's continually pushed by going up a moderate hill or hauling basic loads. Really, a V6 is what this truck needs or even better a hybrid drive train. I give the engine about 8 years to live before a major mechanical failure. Which is why I would not own it, just lease it.
