My first Hyundai

This vehicle has met all my expectations. Style, comfort, performance and with an outstanding warranty. Purchased from a dealership that puts the customer first.

Great little work truck!

Interior is pretty spacious. Nicely designed inside and outside. Decent mpg if you aren't heavy on the pedal.

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL-pretty much everything I had hoped for.

Ride and handling are outstanding. Controls and infotainment are relatively straight forward/user-friendly. Interior space (including back seat) better than I expected. Acceleration for a 4-cylinder (2.5 liter) vehicle is quite adequate. I average 23.5 MPG for first 2,000 miles, with almost no highway driving.

Previous Hyundai owner in 1987.

Enjoying the Santa Cruz very much. Drove it to Minnesota and was impressed with how well it handled on the trip and pleased with how comfortable it was.

Will never buy another

I really like the vehicle, but I will never buy another unless the " Take a break" feature is done away with or a method to disable it is included. There is nothing in the user manual which allows this nor can the dealership do anything about it. It was not mention in manual or by any salesman in the buying process.
