Vehicle is just so - so ...

Between the crummy DCT and jerky clutch issues, to the less than decent air and heating of the HVAC system, the small truck is transportation.. Wish it were better !!!

So, so good.

We made our decision based on the towing capacity of the Santa Cruz, but we have not used it for towing as of today but are confident in it's ability. To our surprise we have been pleased with the vehicle's quality, the comfort and safety features.

1st Santa Cruz

I recently purchase a 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Activity Package. I really love my truck. The only issue I have is a certain times it seems like a transmission slip but I heard that Hyundai vehicles have that issues at time but nothing too be concerned with that. For the past 2 years I had my eyes on a Santa Cruz. The body style, the slick details on the inside and the lights in the bed is what drives me to this trick.

the instrument lighting for ac and heating is too faint to read easily. the truck bed cover should be designed to be water proof.
