I love my Santa Cruz !!!

I have a mini cooper , which I used to drive small cars , but when my mini run maintenance issues , hard to find a good tech and cost way too high to fix . so I decide to change different brand . I consider to buy a truck but I kind hesitate to drive big cars till I saw this Santa cruz. Cool + cute + practical+ 0 down payment +economic compare with other truck price . I love the car play + remind for clear the back seat or my phone still in wireless charge or road status . Really thoughtful functions , special someone like me forget something in the car often ...All in all , I love my santa Cruz and cant wait let him take me to travel all the places :)

Nice for a not truck

Easy to drive. Looks like a modernized version of the Subaru Baja. Interior lacks open storage to toss phones wallets easily. No memory seat option on limited model. Radio Home Screen could be less cluttered. Has paddle shifters that are unnecessary since this isn’t a sports car….

Santa Cruz

So far so good. Too new to answer a few of these questions honestly. So you got a 5. Also too damn aggravating that you want me to type more here just for a letter count. This is how you piss off a customer.

Great design but not that great but weak and hesitant

Engine issues no power hesitant and bed is small enough to constitute a hitch accelerates slow after full stop burns more fuel then expected , transmission jumps when changing gears feels like the car has a governor installed which control the speed

Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz has strangers asking me about the vehicle, all the time at the gas station, store or wherever. the color is Sage Gray, People always comment that they love the color, and the vehicle looks great. The truck operates and handles great, its much better than my larger pick-up to park.

Santa Cruzing

Great experience, fun to drive with a quiet ride. Many safety features. The vehicle is stylish, unique and does no look like other vehicles on the road. I test drove the Santa Cruz and the Ford Maverick. I chose this vehicle over the Ford Maverick. I made the right choice.

Great Design! Affordable, reasonably price.

Allot of complements for design of car. Looks expensive and ease on gas consumption. Surprisingly allot of features than expected. Drove long distance and surprised mileage gave me per tank. local seems average.

Friendly experience

I went through three different dealerships to find the right vehicle I wanted. I really like the Santa Cruz and my home town dealership didn’t have any and weren’t able to find one so l ended up 60 miles from home to get it. I’m glad I did.

Santa Cruz 2023

Very nice product, great vehicle. Very sporty and utilitarian vehicle. My only complaint is the felt parts exposed on the underside of the Santa Cruz. The Theta 3 handles the small turbo very well. This truck takes regular, it would be nice to have an option to use Ethanol blended flex fuel.

The vehicle that does what you need

The Santa Cruz is a great vehicle for anyone. The vehicle has the power of a truck or small suv when you need it and when you don’t you can relax and drive in comfort. It can do what you want. It a great vehicle and one to keep for life.

Great small truck

Manuals are too wordy. Simple step by step with a visual would be more helpful. Instructions for users on downloading and using apps and all the online registrations I had to figure out how to use and the difficulty of them.

Great vehicle with a great warranty

Was looking for a good vehicle that was stylish, yet dependable. The Santa Cruz met those expectations as well as being affordable with a great warranty. Would definitely recommend this over most other utility vehicles

Love my Santa Cruz. Wish I would have bought the top of the line one

Grayson Hyundai salesperson (Terran Stuart) was one of the best salesmen I have ever dealt with. He was very knowledgeable about the Santa Cruz, every question I had he answered. He is an asset to this company, and they should be very proud that he is representing them professionally and courtesy. Would definitely buy from Terran again with no hesitation.

Love a Hyundai!

I have owned since the late 80's when they first hit the states. Started off with an Elantra, moved to the Santa Fe and now in the Santa Cruz. We've never had any issues with any of them! Great cars

Pleasantly Impressed

My actual choice was between this vehicle and the Ford Maverick based on the size and my need. Ford was not having any luck getting a vehicle built and the communication wasn't great so after being a long time Ford customer I went with the Santa Cruz. So very glad that I did.

Observations

The vehicles drives more like an SUV. When test driving other trucks you can hear how loud it is on the inside and the bumpiness but the Santa Cruz is smooth. Headlights are super bright but you get mistaken that your high beams are on because the lowest setting is so bright. Interior lighting is great because there are some blue lights on the doors that set the mood so that it isn't too bright when turning your vehicle off.

Stylish, comfortable and affordable

The Santa Cruz is a stylish and comfortable AWD truck. It’s a great option for a small and versatile pickup with great gas mileage. II highly recommend not buying below the activity package model. Not sure why Hyundai bothers with the base model.
