This vehicle is suited for a person who is under 6 feet.

The vehicle is close to the ground and you do not need a step up to get in. Very comfortable to drive around town or going on trips. Several people wish to see inside and ask what features I am most impressed with. It hard to choose but I rate the electronic display as one of the best. The heat seats and steering wheel are very comfortable with someone with joint pains. The weather has not been hot enough to check out the air conditioning seats and temperature control, but I think it will rate as good or better than the heating.

Does what I need it to do, but is lacking a few things that would've made it a perfect "10".

It’s a wonderful little car.

It’s a great little car. Fun to drive. I went from a Chevy Silverado and this is perfect for me. I’m getting around 34 miles a gallon.

Pleased

I am very pleased with my Santa Cruz. It is very comfortable to drive. I like having the bed feature for hauling small loads. I don’t haul a lot or even big loads so the size is perfect for me.

Love my new Hyundai Santa Cruz

This is my first pickup truck that I have owned. I love everything about it. The performance of the 2.5 turbo 4 paired with the 8 speed automatic transmission plus the H-Trac AWD is awesome! I chose the limited model because of all the standard features I wanted were included.

I feel like I'm on an exciting excursion anywhere I drive.

I love that I don't feel like I'm driving a truck, but I have the perks of a truck. It is very comfortable, I don't feel the seat belt at all, and I was pleasantly surprised during my first long trip at how comfortable it really is. I can't wait to go to the beach off-roading this summer. My kayak fits in bed without needing the rack for short trips. Rack was included with my utility package, I need to get that on. I love the truck look, with its larger tires and mean-looking front grill. The 20" wheels could be chunkier with a thicker tread to complement the mean truck look. It has a smooth ride and decent acceleration, though I'm skeptical of the towing capacity and if the acceleration will bog down with added weight. The uphill giddy-up isn't stellar. Gas mileage is surprisingly not fabulous, at least not like the Santa Fe, which I thought it would be. The Dashboard is my window to the world with information at my command, it's very impressive. I'm still discovering it, it's a lot. The truck bed cover is great, even after a car wash, it's dry inside. The passenger room in the back is minimal. Even for a child in a car seat, my grandson's feet hit the front seat, which concerns me if there were a collision.

I really like it !!

I looked at the Santa Cruz for a couple of years before I bought it. I did wait for the new interior. However, I do firmly believe that on the Limited package which is supposed to be the top of the line model , it should have had more options. It should have had folding side view mirrors and heads up display, at least make them available as options !!! But .... other than that, I really cannot find much fault. I do wish it had a 4-1/2' or 5' bed, but I have managed so far.
