Santa Cruz 2025

Nice but too small. Great on gas. Not enough back seat room . Short bed not enough room for moving anything. Overall. Average for me.

It has been a great vehicle

This is my second Santa Cruz. I bought a new one in 2022 and traded it in about a year ago for this 2025.

25 CRUZ

It’s not a bigger car. It’s just a lot of little quirks in it like you can’t get the floor mats out without hurting your hand like it feels like it wants to move when it is not even in gear and I had a few recalls on it too.

Great run-a-round

I made a good choice when I purchased my Santa Cruz as a second vehicle. I drive it every day!

I really like a lot of things about the Santa Cruz!

The Santa Cruz routinely gets over 30 mpg. The has a wonderful ride and the electronics are great. I am putting about 1000 miles per month on the truck. It is a very good quality, well built truck. I do wish it had folding mirrors and heads up display, but the rest of the truck has been great.

2025 Santa Cruz

I like the way it handles, the look and the fact it has a small truck bed.. We took it on a long trip mostly comfortable. Driver seat got uncomfortable. The cruise control is touchy and it doesn't set easily. It also doesn't have the automatic slow down like my Elantra had while in cruise control was set. If it does I haven't found it yet. Overall at good value for what it is.

A fabulous ride! A vehicle who can make my hill of a driveway deserves great praise! I live on a steep hill with a long drive. The Juneau makes it every time!

It's been able to handle everything I've thrown at it with no complaints.

Big Payoff for the $$$

I purchased my 2025 Santa Cruz SEL with Activity package after tons of research. The overall styling won me over first. After purchase, it was the amazing features that the truck has to offer. The safety features are a huge bonus.

My XRT

I really liked the Hyundai SC XRT from the first time I saw one. The red stands out nicely and the styling is eye catching. The only issue I have and it would have played a huge part in my decision to buy was no heated steering wheel.

Finance department sucks dealing with them was like pulling teeth to make a payment I had to call multiple times and get hung up on multiple times I've never been more displeased with a financial institution is I have been with Hyundai finance America

Fun to drive

My Santa Cruz drives and feels like a sporty Tucson. The small truck bed is large enough for 95% of my truck needs. I have an old F150 that I just don't use anymore and plan to sell. The Santa Cruz looks great, drives great, covers my truck needs, and fits in my garage.
