A lot to learn very frustrating.

Love the car get a lot of compliments on it. But being so computerized is not for me half the things it does is way over my head. Did not realize it would be so confusing. T kind of makes me nervous.

very comfortable unique vehicle

unique blend of car and truck similar to the Chevy El Camino and Ford Ranchero of past decades; Limited is very comfortable and well equipped with all the bells and whistles; smooth car-like ride with small truck capabilities; turbo-charged engine gives good fuel economy with power boost when needed. very please so far.

Looks like a truck rides like a car

This is my second Santa Cruz in 3 years. This is a comfortable smooth ride, there are lots of safety features that literally will save your life. The dashboard extends all the way to the radio, all one piece. Buttons to choose a screen and touch screen too. Blue link is for life so if in an emergency you can notify someone of an accident or breakdown. This 2025 model is more quiet than my 2023 was, more insulation. Plenty on usb-c ports and storage.

Just what I was looking for and exceeded my expectations

My search for a new vehicle started a year ago, and after considering 2 close models from different companies, the Hyundai Santa Cruz won hands down with its competitor.

Mimi needed a larger vehicle

I traded my retirement car, what I thought would be my last vehicle purchase. I enjoyed the sporty, standard transmission Mazda 3 hatchback and used it tremendously. However the love of my life (grandbaby) came along five years later and didn't stay small very long. It became too physically taxing (to the point of PT) to lift his 43 lbs and center him in his car seat. I spotted a Sant Cruz in my neighborhood and wham! Interior size-wise it was like going to a 747 and TALK ABOUT COMFORT!! The ride is so smooth it made me realize what I missed. I appreciate the lane assist guidance, especially with my special passenger. And why is it when you buy a truck you start to do 'truck' things? Like haul TONS of landscaping rock, chicken feed, plants, strollers, bicycles, etc. It performed flawlessly on two long distance road trips, so much so that my man is getting rid of his VW GTI for something similar. The gas mileage was impressive enough: on both trips I filled at the exact spots I'd fill the Mazda. It's quiet also, a big difference from a smaller car. The vehicle 'talks' to you quite a bit and I appreciate the safety features. My single issue with it is the INABILITY to place a baby car seat in the center of the rear seat, specifically stated in the owner's manual. That makes no sense to me but I'm dealing with it with the most cautious driving.
