Fun and flexible

Santa Cruz fits the bill for everything that I was looking for in a new vehicle. I always wanted a truck but didn't need a full-size one, and couldn't justify doing so because of the deceased gas mileage. Now I have my truck, decent gas mileage and outstanding Hyundai reliability for daily commuting and weekend fun and projects.

The vehicle is fun to drive and gets good mileage and looks good.

The Santa Cruz has a lot going for it and time will tell.

Missing somethings to be a great vehicle

I love the way the vehicle drives and the versatility of the truck bed. Don’t need finger print scanner it doesn’t even work. Don’t need driving modes as there is really only one. Need heads up display. Need parking sensors.

Definitely more and better options than my 2022 Santa Cruz. Just wish they would fix why water comes in the bed of the truck.

Love my new truck!

It has everything I wanted and needed: Remote start, navigation, heated seats. I'm happy with the mileage I get, and the safety features like the lane centering and collision warning are great!

2025 Santa Cruz SEL Activty Review

Likes: Appearance, style and driveability. Dislikes: Complexity of dashboard settings / computerization. There is a point where technology is taken too far in a vehicle, particularly with the older generation.

Gas mileage is amazing. Better than my previous small Chevrolet car I traded in. Comfortable ride. Love the big dash screen and phone projection.

Turbocharger, sun roof, electronic suspension, 5,000 Lbs towing !

Our Santa Fe is quieter and more comfortable, but my favorite vehicle is our Santa Cruz.

Nice small truck with great features.

Wife’s long waited truck. Many things to like, fun to drive, good fuel economy and great AC system. Wish they hadn’t cheaped out on SEL trim level, or reversed steering wheel controls (cruise, phone and infotainment), causing problems switching between other vehicles. SEL Infotainment system leaves one wanting. Still a Hyundai fan.
