Love my Santa Cruz

I have owned “ Sandy” for a year . She’s been in 2, 3k mile trips and was able to keep up with the big guys. I enjoy the function of a truck with the ride of an suv. My only recommendation …a front camera or 360 camera would help. I am short and it’s very hard to judge how close I am during parking.

Excellent overall, except for electronics interface

I have driven my Santa Cruz for over 18,000 miles, and overall I am pleased with it, except for the electronics interface. If not for that, I would have given it 5 stars.

I'm really enjoying my Santa cruz !

I receive many good positive compliments about my vehicle not only from friends, neighbors and strangers alike. They will stop me in store parking lots, gas stations at the beach and inquire about it, where I bought it, is it a good value etc. Many favorable compliments never a dislike!

Two low geared no free rolling doesn't shift or accelerate properly

Many blind spots the vehicle will go into AC or defrost for no reason mileage varies from 22 as high as 36 miles per gallon transmission does not let the vehicle free roll shifts too quickly out of overdrive very poor gear ratio there's coolant seeping somewhere out of the vehicle when it's hot wish I'd bought a Ford Maverick

Hyundai has a winner here! Let's home the dealerships perform.

The vehicle is well designed, and easy to drive. I do not care about all the tech, but I do like the reliability and the price point.

Great small truck with some improvement room

The truck is great for small hauls and daily driving is comfortable and fun. It is always a worry in my back of my head about the wet clutch but haven't felt an issues yet. I would have loved to have different interior options than gloss black which is a pain, wireless android auto would also be nice in a limited trim, and having the ability to keep outside vent air closed without it automatically opening back up after some time, and pulling in hot engine heat. Two other things that would make this truck a true perfect or must own is hybrid with awd and a tunnel for extending bedroom. I would rather have that when needed in a small truck than have a longer bed having to deal with city parking. This is really close to being a perfect vehicle.

Love it

All the bells and whistles, very comfy, plenty of power with good gas mileage, plus it's beautiful. I really like the extra trim on the SRT package.

Solid pick overall

Despite a minor cosmetic issue, the Santa Cruz is fun to drive, functional, and perfect for a utility vehicle that can find parking in the city while still being useful.
