The process was long, just to have issues with the front end.

Overall the Santa Cruise is a good Vehicle and fun to drive.

Good truck

I like the truck. It definitely serves my purpose of having an SUV and a truck. I do wish the back seats had more room back there. The one feature I wish I still had from my other Hyundai is the adaptive cruise. I didn't realize how much I would miss that until it was gone.

Disappointing

DCT slips in reverse, vehicle was marketed as "trailer ready" The trailer wiring harness is not installed as it was on 22, 23, 24 models.

Very good!

I live in Florida should be able to disconnect for wearing sunglasses while using cruise control! I do dislike that feature very much. I Florida we wear sunglasses all the time.

2025 Santa Cruz Pickup Review

Howdy, This is my 3-month review of the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Actually, this was not my initial choice, until I started thinking about my outdoor hobbies. I like to play outside when the weather is nice. Having a vehicle that is part SUV, seating for 5 and part truck in the back for all my outdoors gear. It's a nice option to be able load stuff in the back and not get the insides dirty. Thus far I have travelled using the 3 modes available to my base model truck, normal, sport and smart. This vehicle delivers good power for the highway and in the mountains. It handles well for a front wheel drive.

Great vehicle with much capability for any need you may have. Add a receiver and wiring to the vehicle and now you can do anything your household may need to.

A comfortable ride and stylish.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the 2025 Santa Cruz. This is the second Hyundai I have owned, the first being a Sante Fe. I am very happy with Hyundai and will continue to be a customer. The quality of the vehicle is excellent and the warranty to back it up is unmatched.
