Best overall vehicle I’ve ever owned. Very nice comfortable ride, nimble handling, info system is easy. Can’t wait to drive in snow with the AWD.

Nice vehicle, terrible Bluelink support

I like my Santa Cruz. There was a problem with the Bluelink from the beginning. It would not work at the dealership. I tried for several months to get it resolved but it is still unresolved. They continue to ask me for paperwork and say they tried calling but they didn’t. I am done with this. I guess I will just drive my truck without the full capacity that I paid for. The worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’m 66 years old and have purchased many new vehicles. Never have I been treated this way. Never has I had no solid effort to get the problem resolved. Pitiful!!!

Fun Vehicle

The SC has been our beach buggy having made 4 trips in 4 months. Highway mileage has been over 29 mpg. No mechanical problems or concerns thus far. My complaint is with Hyundai for false advertising and the dealer. Both stated the SC was pre wired for a tow hitch. Not so. Having to take the dash apart is not being prewired!

Great vehicle exceeding all my expectations

As I'm getting comfortable with all the features in the vehicle, I'm enjoying every minute. Runs great, comfortable seats, plenty of power, and love the safety features.

Santa Cruz is a great truck for the money.

Seth our salesman was outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. He is the reason we purchased the vehicle.

I like my truck

This is my second Santa Cruz, and I love them. Being on a limited budget I will probably not be able to afford a third one. That is the only draw back for me.

2025 Santa Cruz

Very unique vehicle, I’ve had over 50 vehicles and the Santa Cruz is one of my top favorites. One of the most versatile and capable vehicles. Drives better than most SUVs and trucks, surprisingly sporty, very comfortable, luxurious, filled with wonderful tech, punches above its class. This vehicle is all the truck most people need. Most trucks are used to crawl the malls with the occasional moving of large objects. Hyundai has configured the bed in such a remarkable way with tie down straps and available accessories it can easily carry the same loads most trucks can with the right accessories and tie downs

Vogel s Santacruz

The only problem I have had so far is, there should be a plug and play trailer light hook up. I think it is ridiculous that it cost 500 or more to have trailer light. This is definitely a poor engineering problem that your engineers definitely should change the way the 2024 models had.
