Fun small truck

Truck is fun to drive and is smart looking. The sage gray color is unusual and gets good comments. Hyundai sales team was respectful and efficient. Had a great experience.

Great truck, but bad gas mileage.

As close to a truck as you can get

Love everything about my Santa Cruz. I do have however one complaint. It has every safety feature except one that I feel is very important, since my other vehicle is a Genesis GV70. It doesn’t have an audio warning alerts for the front or rear of the vehicle when getting close to another vehicle or object when parking and backing out in tight parking areas. I find that the camera doesn’t provide me with enough confidence in these situations. Most high end vehicles have audio warning alerts for this situation.

Overall very satisfied with thoughtful design of SC.

There are lots to like about this elementary pick up. Well thought out interior makes driving experience fun and safe. Well made and durable passenger cabin. I like the steering wheel shape and the thumb controls to help keep my hands where they belong. Easy to see dash cluster and controls. I am not at all "tech savvy" so I'm still learning what the heck is what and when I hear beeps. I'll just say for me it's probably overkill and yet I find something new every week that I kind of like. If any disappointment is the lights on the climate cluster. Especially for an old geezer like me, they are very small and even with the adjustment as high as it can go, it's difficult to see what is actually on. Particularly on bright days. I'm very much liking 9 out of 10 things for my new SC. Nice hustle Hyundai!

I like Hyundai's generally and this is no exception. I like the style and features. I also like the fact that this vehicle was made in USA.

Great features, needs some mechanical tweaks still.

Great features yet some mechanical issues that need to be addressed still. The vehicle hesitates going up hills and skips as if it were idoling too low. This is a disappointment for me as a new car owner.

2025 Santa Cruz

While the vehicle is fun to drive I do find it to be slightly underpowered. A v6 would definitely be preferable that way it could be used for towing.

Roomy, great handling. Well built. Design of a/c & heat is very poor.

Heat & AC controls are lost among other “buttons”. Why is it necessary to take one’s eyes off the road to “find” all the buttons that control heat, ac, ventilation, defrost, et. al? It’s as if someone created this without considering that most drivers would like simple, intuitive controls, rather than:”hey guys, look what I can do!”
