Review

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a popular and praised choice for a compact pickup, offering a blend of SUV-like comfort and handling with useful truck utility, particularly in its updated 2025 form. Key pros include a refined interior with updated tech, a powerful optional turbocharged engine for strong performance, agile handling on city streets, and innovative bed features like a lockable underfloor trunk. Cons can include limited rear-seat space for adults, a sometimes choppy ride on rough roads, mediocre fuel economy with the turbo engine, and potential water leakage with the bed cover.

1st new hyundai purchase

Car has poor finish quality. Paint has two significant runs I didn't see until after leaving the lot. The front end has a MAJOR design flaw. Large openings in the lower bottom of the grill leaves the radiator core open to damage from road debris kicked up by other car's tires. The trim over the wheel wells lacks good fit and finish, and has visible gaps between the car body. When washing the car, water accumulates on the INSIDE bottom of the door.

Poor service at Simmons Rockwell

Bought new. At 1400 miles in shop twice and for 31 total days for an injector wiring problem. Car computer said were the problem was, but it took Simmons Rockwell all that time to find and fix it.
