A great truck with annoying safety features

I have 8000 miles on the truck, and have enjoyed almost all of those miles. My main gripes are with the “consider taking a break” feature. This safety feature goes off multiple times a trip, regardless of my driving. I am a safe, consistent, and responsible driver. No matter how I drive, it goes off and causes distractions, worried passengers, and annoys me.

Well balanced vehicle

Vehicle is quick to start, runs good no matter the weather, comfortable inside, the electronic display is pleasing, the audio system is another highlight and its accessible for android/ iPhone devices. Cant ask for a better vehicle.

I'm the happiest with this model and I have owned 3 other models

The style of this vehicle, the fit finishes are some of the best that I've experienced with Hyundai. I just wish there was a little bit more room in the backseat because I'm a plus size girl, the driver seat is pushed all the way back and it only leaves about five or 6 inches of knee space which means no one can sit behind me.

My Santa Cruz

I love my new Santa Cruz. It is the 4th Hyundai I've purchased. I am a firm believer in the brand. The quality is 2nd to none. The warranty is great. My only complaint is the Blue Link remote start system has quit working after 3 months of ownership.

2026 Sant Cruz

I like it a lot- the back seat is VERY SMALL- it would help with overall roominess “when traveling “ - If the back part of the backseat would fold frontwards that would be a great option and unique to all other small trucks. Remember you heard it here first- so if y’all are smart enough to listen & make that happen in the future, please give me credit for it

Great lil truck

This little truck is perfect for people who use a truck bed but don't want to give up comfort and a great ride. It has all the bells and whistles and comes with plenty of safety features. It is easier to drive and park then a full size pick up. It has better gas mileage.

Great Truck

I am very happy with my Santa Cruz. It’s very nicely appointed g for being a base model. The only issues I have are the price and that you can’t lock the vehicle without the fob.

2026 Santa Cruz Sel Activity

Had a 2025 same model and loved it. But disappointed in the 2026 because we paid more and got less. Hyundai eliminated the back seat center arm rest cup holder the full length rear carpeted mat is now 2 cheaper separate mats even though we paid the same price or more we have the sage gray exterior on both 2025 and 2026 with the gray leather interior. The 2025 door panels are accented in gray the 2026 has plain black panels. I feel that if they are going to eliminate things they should have at least added the rear view mirror remote garage opener since this Sel Activity is 2 steps up from the base SE model.
