A true utility vehicle

What I believe is important about the Hyundai Sant Cruz XRT I purchased a mere five months ago is that it is a true utility vehicle for any family, outdoorsman, off or on-road use. While it would take some time to go over all the attributes that make this vehicle the amazing truck it is, all you need to know is that you can tow a boat, put a tent on top and sleep in it, drive 4-5 people to a baseball game with full equipment, carry supplies for home improvement, or go off-roading just about anywhere except the extreme. It is the everything truck and I am happy I bought it. Couple that with the fact I'll basically never have to worry about repairs because of the amazing warranty and we have a winner.

Fun little truck

My Santa Cruz is a fun little truck to drive. There's plenty of room in the back seat for my large dogs and the bed is big enough for most hauls. I am planning to purchase a bed extender for my kayaking trips though

Lots to love.

Lots to love. Nice interior. Up to date tech including Bluelink app. Love the design and the little touches with the bed. Vehicle is exactly what I was looking for and I've put it to good use, hauling bikes, etc.. Vehicle does feel underpowered and some of the driver assist systems seem a little quirky.

Miss my 2024

Although I appreciate the leather seats and larger screen of the 2025, I miss the way the controls were configured on the steering wheel of my 2024.

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.
