25 Santa Cruz

It's ok, cruise control is TERRIBLE! A nightmare, cuts off because - too much sunshine, too much shade, your hand position on the steering wheel, it's annoying. The USB player will play random, but trying to move to the next song is a royal pain, it only scrolls through the past 5-7 songs, before finally moving to a different song on the USB device. Too much tech on the vehicle and you have to "youtube" every damn thing. Crazy, all the emails from Hyundai have numerous "youtube" links. WTH?? Odometer is on the left in dash, hard to read when you need to. Would NOT buy another Hyundai product.

Good all around vehicle for retirement.

Very pepy, looks good and handles well. Back seat area not very roomy and no seat adjustments. Fuel economy not very great in town.

2025 Santa Cruz

I've always loved suv's but there was something about this (not so pickup truck) that really draw me in and I have to say that owning this Santa Cruz has been a great experience and I'm happy a made this decision.

I like most everything about the car the truck I mean

Well, I like to vehicle all around just one spot. I don’t like I feel like there’s a blind spot when you’re backing out you see the rear pillar car seem to hide behind it.

Fantastic fun vehicle.

We are really enjoying our new 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz. This is the second Santa Cruz we own and couldn't be more pleased with the driving experience. The style and the Canyon Red paint have generated more complements than any other vehicle we have ever owned. The XRT crew cab truck was the perfect choice for our needs. It's sporty and has a lot of horsepower. We live in a rural area with challenging road conditions that the XRT had no trouble getting through a tough winter.

Versatile and Economical

I love versatility of the Santa Cruz. I am able to use it as a truck and as an SUV. It is economical yet with the 8 speed transmission powerful enough for all driving conditions.

Perfect vehicle for right now, comfort of SUV utility of the truck.

Great balance of SUV and utility. With the limited, the tech is awesome. Been perfect after knee surgery getting in and out with ease. The turbo is awesome. Plenty of power to merge on interstate.
