Previous Hyundai owner in 1987.

Enjoying the Santa Cruz very much. Drove it to Minnesota and was impressed with how well it handled on the trip and pleased with how comfortable it was.

Will never buy another

I really like the vehicle, but I will never buy another unless the " Take a break" feature is done away with or a method to disable it is included. There is nothing in the user manual which allows this nor can the dealership do anything about it. It was not mention in manual or by any salesman in the buying process.

I love this truck - all the features are up to date and easy to use. The interior has everything I need. The truck bed is perfect and I love the plastic lined flooring inside.

Impressively capable, but needs a hybrid option and more accessories

The 2025 has a great interior compared to previous years and lots of features coming in at an attractive price point. But It really needs a plugin hybrid engine like the maverick! Mm currently leasing a 2025 and I'm hoping I can trade for a hybrid soon if Hyundai Comes out with one. I think it also needs more aggressive front styling; it looks too smooth and not sporty enough like a Baja or Chevy Colorado. I like that it has a really simple inline 4 engine and torque converter transmission which gives me confidence that the car will last a long time. Hyundai's reputation on electric component failures is my only worry about it's longivity. It needs more options from Hyundai though, like more customizability since it has an abnormal size bed that's hard to find racks for, and that's something I'd need if I ever want to go skiing since Hyundai won't let me add a roof rack when the rails weren't installed by the factory.
