Disappointing

My first new car! Disappointed.... The electronics has spoiled my new car enthusiasm. Auto lights do not come on when overcast or raining. Why bother with automatic lights ???? Extremely agitated with "consider taking a break" feature. It is random and dangerous. It comes on during high traffic situations and keeps on every 3 or 10 minutes. There is no way to turn it off . II consider this a defect in the electronics department. I drive other vehicles with this feature and no alarms sound. So it is NOT my driving habits. I plan to alert the vehicle consumer agencies about this crazy "safety" hazard. I am also suspicious of other electronics as this one example is so concerning . I don't trust any of the other electronics on this vehicle. This vehicle is not equipped with WIFI. Unexcusable. I need to use my phone to access WIFI. Other brands of cars offer WIFI. I was not informed of this before the sale and did not even consider asking. Assumed it is standard in 2025. Unhappy.... Since this statement will be reviewed by AI, I do not expect any satisfaction from HYundai. Another strike .

Santa Cruz has been my favorite vehicle for 3 months now.

I spent a full year looking at and into the Santa Cruz and finally decided to take the plunge. It is a beautiful vehicle and does so much that I wanted and more. The color and form is wonderfully pleasing to the eye and the display and infotainment system is easy to use and clever.

Nice, but missing safety issues

First, this thing rides great. Second, it's very comfortable and spacious for me. The only downside is safety issues in my opinion. 1) it does not have forward Adaptive Cruise Control, Advanced Forward Collision Avoidance, 2) the warning system on the forward camera is atrocious. I've tested it with the dealership and my son. Test - running 35mph and coming up on vehicle in front of me and having to hit the brakes hard with no warning sign/sound. Dealership couldn't figure it out. I was a Quality Control Engineer for several manufacturing companies for 10 yrs. I know the cost on parts that go into vehicles, and for a few pennies on the dollar, why would you have to only include safety features like this on any higher model vehicle. It should be standard on all variants. Oh, and as for the rear camera, at night it is also atrocious. Even with my changing the back up lights to LED's, it's still dark as hell. That said, these are the only issues with my SC. Everything else is great. HYUNDAI, please note these issues for everyone's sake.

Overall , decent value, if Hyundai would have included some of the basics they include in the Tucson this would have been a bigger win.

My first Hyundai experence.

Our first week we took it on a thousand mile journey. It is comfortable and surprisingly quiet. It rides like a car, while it is a truck. Going to Portland from Boise, we got just over the EPA estimated 29 MPG. My biggest complaint would be that the colors available are what I would not consider attractive. About one of the colors my wife said it would look good on an Army Jeep. My comment to the salesman was that I was getting the least objectionable color. My color is Stone Blue, in the right light it is a nice light blue, in other light it is a dull gray.
