Like the Vehicle. HATE Napleton North Palm Beach Hyundai Dealer!

I went in specifically for the Santa Cruz Sage Gray with Activity Package and got bamboozled into buying a Hampton Gray ( Ugly - the color of asphalt pavement) SEL without the Activity Package which has certain required features (Like the toneau cover- required by my condo assn) DO NOT GET FOOLED INTO BELIEVING the SEL IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS THE SEL WITH ACTIVITY PACKAGE! Spend the money and get what you want. The missing features of the two (little window in the back, sunroof, retractable toneau cover, Wireless charging) are game changers as far as functionality. I spent 1 whole year still angry that I finally said value be damned and lost my shirt but went to another dealer who had the model I wanted in stock and made me a good deal.

Great small pickup. With get up and go.

Overall we enjoy driving it, has ample space in truck bed due to built in cooler, great for shopping. Could be more spacious in rear seats, it's rare we have passengers. Feels a bit cramped.

Hyundai Santa Cruz

Vehicle and quality is outstanding except for the soy based wiring insulation that caused $10,000 in mice damage to my 2022 Santa Cruz.

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Overall great small Truck. Excellent gas mileage. The only thing I do not care for is the constant pull of the steering wheel even though I’m in my lane . It can be serious if someone isn’t paying attention. The auto steering needs work . No way of turning it off.

Perfect for me

I'm a first time Hyundai owner. After one year I have had no problems with this vehicle. I have always owned trucks but wanted to down-size a bit. This one is easier to get into than the bigger trucks. I love the color (Sage Gray). The bed is small but I can still carry full sheets of plywood and that is what's important to me. The seats are very comfortable.
