Santa Cruz is a solid vehicle

I have 26,000 miles on my Santa Cruz and it has been a solid performer. I’ve owned many makes and models and I’ve had less initial quality issues with this than any other vehicle. When I need the functionality of a small pick up, it’s up for the task. It rides like a comfortable midsize SUV. The gas mileage is outstanding at 27 1/half. Though it is not the turbo version the power so far has been adequate. I only wish that the standard cruise control was adaptive.

Worst paint job on a vehicle I have ever owned

We purchased this vehicle for our son in May 2025 as a graduation gift. Once we got it and the sun was able to shine on the car, we could see where the paint on ALL vertical surfaces of the car had run and pooled up in wavy patterns along the bottom of the doors and the quarter panels. We contacted the dealership asking for assistance with the issue and were told they would have to contact Hyundai corporate to figure out what to do. We have not heard back from anyone in 4 weeks now.

Exceptional small pickup truck

We wanted to buy a pickup that wasn't a huge gas-guzzling monster that we needed a ladder to get into. We looked at a few different makes and models, but none caught our eyes until we saw the Santa Cruz. It's everything we wanted in a pickup. Plus, it fits in our garage.

I have the Hyundai Night.

I love the ability of a small pickup with comfort and pep. I am happy with gas milage. I wished it came without the running boards. I also like the storage under the box bed. I question the longevity of the dual clutch transmission since Hyundai has deleted this unit on the new Santa Cruz.
