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!”

Good Experience with My First Hyundai Car.

Overall performance is impresive. It's not too big compared to that of the other trucks available in the market.

This is perfect for grocery store and garden center. It is fun to drive! Turbo makes it feel like a little hot rod!

Santa Cruz

I went from a full size pick up truck to the Santa Cruz. I love it. It’s everything I need for the work I do. Plenty of cargo space in the rear.

Very good, almost great

Love the size of the truck that drives a lot like a car. If not for a couple of issues it would go from good to great. Cruise control is touchy to set and not too smooth when it adjusts speed for inclines etc. The radio does not show the song/artist info on screen like my past non Hyundai vehicles did. And the seats are ok for in town but would be uncomfortably hard for long trips. Ride is good, transmission shifts very smoothly and the size makes it easy to get in and out of parking spots etc.

Solid

The price was great. The features are great. The fact that there have been no recalls (and I’ve been reading about Ford breaking records for recalls) has been great. I really have no complaints- like the only thing I wish was that it maybe had a little better pick up

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Bought new with 45 miles, been a awesome vehicle with now 3,800 miles. Been very satisfied so far. It gets good gas mileage and handles very well. I wish there had a hybrid model available.

A good vehicle with adequate performance and features

The vehicle is good overall but a number of software enabled features should be available in all trim packages including: automated cruise control distance keeping, backup side traffic warning, automatic wipers, automatic highbeam control and automatically closing windows and sunroof when remotely locking vehicle.

So far I have really enjoyed my Santa Cruz

Its been a fun car to drive, I get alot of comments about it and I like that I dont see many of them on the road which adds to the unique look of the vehicle.

I love my Santa Cruz just keep making them better and better.

Problems with the brakes on my new Santa Cruz. I am surprised because it’s my third Santa Cruz which had no problems whatsoever.
