Too soon

I have driven a Hyundai the past 27 years. So dependable. So it was time for a new one. Was disappointed no loyalty discount or cash back offers. Been looking at the Santa Cruz for a few years. So far so good. I've only had it for two months, if it lasts 17 years and over 200000 miles like my Accent I'll be happy. As always the warranty is a factor with all the new features. I am enjoying it so far lots of features to learn about. There's a lot of plastic on the exterior that had to be adjusted by the dealer and still waiting on a replacement piece. Also after washing it there's a lot of places for water to go in that plastic, have to dry it well. Again still feeling it out and again hope to have a long, reliable relationship and it holds up as well as my past two. I like the style and the way it drives. So far so good.

Love It

The Santa Cruz has been a joy to drive. The driver assistance tools are very helpful. One of the best surprises is how fast my electronics can be charged while driving. Having a truck bed is fabulous.

Best small pickup trucks.

I love my 2025 Santa Cruz. At the dealership when I took my test drive I immediately noticed the lack of “road noise” at 70 miles per hour. 3 months later it remains one of my favorite features of my Santa Cruz. The computerized screen continuously reveals new and innovative features that are astonishing.

My little 1/4 truck

I like driving my Santa Cruz. It looks sharp. The bed space is very convenient, I put my kayak in easily, haul my lawnmower. Roomy enough for passengers and all their stuff and mine. Absolutely love my Santa Cruz.

Little Truck

It has worked out great. We can pick up wood and use the bed extender, but it drives like a car. We are really loving it for our lifestyle.

Fun to drive and fairly comfortable as well. Could use a few more options but a nice riding small truck.

Fit, Stylish, & Functional

I have been very happy with my new Santa Cruz. Not only is it fit, stylish, and functional, it is surprisingly well appointed with tech - from the flowing instrument panel to the lane assist, blind spot monitoring, and lit handles when entering the vehicle. Although I could said I would like some the additional features of the other trim levels - I can honestly say that for what is included in this vehicle, it is a solid vehicle at a reasonable price and fun to drive.

2025 Santa Cruz

Trucks are great to have but a six foot bed truck was not going to work for me. The bed in the Santa Cruz might be smaller but it is big enough to be functional. The truck is so easy to maneuver and that was important to me.
