I love my Santa Cruz

I had been researching this little truck for several months before i pulled the trigger to buy it as an early retirement gift to myself. I rides smooth and is very comfortable. I love the extra space in the truck bed and the fact that it has a cover . I if I had one complaint it would be that it had cup rather than bottle holders in the doors . All in all I love this truck 1

Vehicle is too expensive for the horsepower but the tech is cool

I truly wish the gas mileage was better, it would make this car a dream to own... Sticker price too high, in cabin amenities and tech is always the best in Hyundais

Good vehicle concept with a few poor design decisions.

Vehicle utility is fantastic. Poor windshield fluid nozzle design. Bad decision removing some convenience functionality (eg: can't sync seat heat/cool with A/C). Waste of space and engineering effort to add the fingerprint sensor; totally pointless. Still need to redesign the front door pockets such that they can actually hold something useful. Under-radio space is not optimized. And most of all, I wish this vehicle was available in a hybrid!

Exceptional vehicle

Overall very satisfied with the Santa Cruz. The ride is good, the acceleration, noise, vibration is better than I expected. It's not sporty but it's not a boring vehicle to drive. Looks great! Has lots of features. 3 features that are missing and would complete the feature set are a subwoofer on the Limited Trim since it's got premium audio, parking sensors that makes parking a longer and taller vehicle in a garage easy, and the addition of Digital Key 2 Wireless (not touch). I think when people think of Digital Key, they expect not to need take the phone out of their pocket.

Excellent Value

I purchased a Santa Cruz to have the ability to use an open bed like a truck with the refinements of an upscale car.

I’ve owner the Santa Cruz for about two months this and have loved it so far. It’s perfect for my outdoor adventures of hiking and kayaking.

Interior functionality could be improved

Love it, but could be engineered to be much more functional in the interior.
