2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz.

2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz. I have owned several trucks. Ford, GMC, and Mazda. The Santa Cruz far surpasses any of those in every category. Style, function. and reliability. What else can I say, best truck I have ever owned.

Great pickup, fun to drive.

I've had 5 other pickup trucks in the past. My Santa Cruz is definitely my favorite. The SC is quiet, practical and has a beautiful interior. The turbo engine has great power and the dual-clutch transmission has worked flawlessly.

2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz

This is my first Hyundai and I would not have bought it with a lesser warranty. Thus far everything has been flawless. I wish the vehicle was available with a turbo and the standard 8 spd transmission.

All the room like an SUV and a truck together, can't ask for more!

I drove a full size pick up truck for many years. The Santa Cruz drives like a car with the options of a truck. We took on a road trip and it drove great on the highway too, all the safety and comfort options we need.

Great vehicle

This is a great mini truck that fits my needs well. Runs great, gets great gas mileage. Very stylish and drives great. My only concern long term with it are the transmission issues many have with the SC.

My Hyundai Santa Cruz is excellent on gas. It’s a beautiful ride.

I pointed out several things in the review above love the outside bed couple of changes I would make to the interior other than that it’s fabulous for instance it needs to have larger pockets doors cu

Love the convenience features but towing was disappointing

After two years of ownership, we had an oil pan leak, covered under warranty. It took a couple of times taking it back into the dealer for them to fix the issue. Red McCombs is not my favorite dealer but they are closest to my home. I was disappointed that a towing truck didn’t have the hitch included. The dealer couldn’t provide much information on using it to tow. I called HQ and they didn’t provide any clarifying information either. We purchased it anyway because I’m a 4 car Hyundai customer. It towed our small motorcycle trailer and Harley Classic great on our vacation out west 4k miles roundtrip with no issues. I do wish the 360 bird view was available for the vehicle. More recently it seems to idle a little high. It will be due for service in another 600 miles so will see if Red McCombs can fix that issue. The backseat is not made for adults. If you have small children it will be fine. An audial wouldn’t be able to travel comfortably from San Antonio to Austin. As expensive as it was you would think the front passenger seat controls would be electric they are not. I picked the Santa Cruz over the Toyota because of the safety and convenience package on it. I hate how low the monitor is for the GPS. I loved my Santa Fe as it’s monitor sat nice and high. Being low is a distraction and safety concern for me. I really do feel ripped off by Red McCombs sells department. They were not transparent with their extended warranty and dealer mark ups at all. The day I bought the car, I almost walked out because I had a bad feeling I was being lied to. I was right after doing more investigating on my contract. I had already signed and the contract my calls and messages were ignored after that. So there you have it. Overall, I like my truck but will rethink using Red McCombs for my purchase next year. I absolutely loved my Santa Fe but it couldn’t tow 2500lbs according to the manual. I would definitely still have it if it did.

2024 Stone Blue XRT

I had a 2013 Veloster but I grew too old for it, needed something much higher. Much like the Veloster, I saw the SC in 2022 and loved the styling. Ive had it one year/3300 miles so I dont drive alot. But I love it every time I do. Get a turbo version, it's a pocket rocket! It has a couple like quirks but so does every car out there. The one thing stands out is that you set all sorts of settings from the dash. But use the phone to start and all my settings are changed. If thats the worst, Im just great with it. Also it does NOT come with a matching power passenger seat!

Ownership started out very rough

We were excited to purchase this SUV/Truck hybrid, but after 1 week of ownership, it ended up at the dealer for over 40 days due to the dual clutch transmission. Since then, we have had burnt coolant odors, and the engine seems just a bit clackety like a sewing machine. It doesn't provide a secure feeling after our initial 40 days of issues. Comfort is great, the versatility of the vehicle is very nice, and the looks are pretty good. The only other issue is that our GPS does strange routings, and isn't updating with the latest highways.

Nice small pickup

Great small pickup, fun to drive, good power, good bed size for small jobs around house, pulling trailer with bike. Only problem is retractable bed cover who leaks little on car wash. Very nice interior and exterior.

I would give it a 5 star rating if I didn't have problem when I first got it. Windshield leaked TWICE and flooded the floor. Then at 7000 mile 1 tire went bad (long story and you wouldn't believe it if I told you about it) and the dealership would not cover it. Other than that it drives VERY comfortable like a sedan. I have owned many pickup trucks. It drive like a car. I love everything else about it.
