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.

The Santa Cruz with the AWD and 2.5 Turbo engine gas a lot of power.

Santa Cruz is fun to drive very comfortably and gets good gas mileage also looks great too.

I purchased it in Florida and it fits my needs for a small truck.

I refused to accept it from the dealer as it was not prepped correctly. The salesmen recleaned the bed but it was still stained and still is. I get a faulty break message and the dealership in Michigan can’t get me in for weeks. The gas mileage is well below the advertised amount.

My Santa Cruz

We went from a Tucson to the Santa Cruz. I like the feel of the Santa Cruz it has a sport truck look an feel. The engine and transmission was a surprise. It has more power and torque than the Tucson. Overall a fun vehicle.

After I installed the towing receiver , it towed very well.

I love it, my wife hates it she has anxiety and doesn't like it when I put it in auto pilot.

Seat comfort and leather quality let down an otherwise great vehicle

We purchased a 2024 Santa Cruz Limited as a replacement for our six year old Acura MDX, which we used to tow our camper trailer on frequent short- and long-distance getaway trips to state and national parks. As a tow vehicle the Santa Cruz is top-notch, with power to spare, excellent ride (way better than the Acura it replaced), decent gas mileage, and only a requirement for regular fuel rather than the premium needed by the MDX. As an around-town vehicle, we appreciate the nice ride, good handling, generally quiet cabin, and unbeatable utility. One place that it falls flat (somewhat literally) is the front seats. They’re just not very comfortable, and the passenger seat is especially uncomfortable. The seat bottoms are hard and flat, and long stretches of driving lead to sore posteriors. The seats could really use a cushioning upgrade, and we’ll likely purchase seat pads to make up for what they lack. Another low point is the quality of the leather used in the seats. Our Santa Cruz had significant wrinkling of the leather in several locations. It was bad enough that our dealership got approval to replace all of the seat covers with brand new under warranty. Unfortunately, the new covers are not really any better than the original ones, but we’ve decided to live with it rather than press for another replacement set. It’s disappointing, but we otherwise love the vehicle and expect to keep it for many years and many miles of camping adventures.
