The cutest truck out there!

Not only has Hyundai been the MOST reliable manufacture that I have ever bought a vehicle from, but they continuously excite me with their innovative features that really give you that luxurious feel, without going over budget! You get all of the best qualities in this vehicle: The newest safety features, speed, storage capacity, off-roading capabilities, remote climate start, incredible gas mileage, comfortable seating, and the best of all, a beautiful design inside and out. The interior features a panoramic display that includes apple car play that greets you with a song and your name while entering and exiting the vehicle! The exterior features a slick design with gorgeous lighting and a well-designed bed/tailgate. Needless to say, my truck stands out in a crowd in the best way possible and I couldn't be any happier! - Molly

Transmission issues

My 2025 santa cruz had 860 miles when the transmission would not shift into 2nd gear 25 mph @ 3000 rmp it slammed into gear the first time it happened and the second time during the same trip it would no up shift. I had it towed to the dealer and they said that there were no error lights on the dash so they can't diagnose the issue. They told me that shutting off the vehicle and starting it was the fix first and issue like this. They drove it 17 miles and it wasn't an issue. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Seems like they are admitting there is a problem and the fix was a restart, but not officially confirming there is an issue. My question is if I am merging into traffic and get t boned because of this is it their problem?

Amazing Truck.

Great Truck. Love the size especially in today's truck market. The style is n eye catcher in a great way. The interior is stylish and comfortable. Plenty of power when you want to use it. I'm able too get my kids around to all their sports with and the tonneau cover makes the bed so helpful to keep everything in place

It's exactly what I was looking for small but very capable truck

I really like the mix of technology and comfort in the Santa Cruz. It's a great size for me. And the rear seat has more room than one would think given the size of the truck. It is very fun to drive. Love how it feels like a suv.

Hyundai satisfaction

I've had 3 Hyundai's over the past 20 years and I am VERY satisfied with each and every one of them. I have recommended them to friends and family repeatedly for years and continue to do so. Hyundai makes great vehicles.

This is the best car I have ever owned.

This car handles beautifully. Because of its size I feel safe driving this car. This car is extremely comfortable and therefore a pleasure to drive. If for some reason my car became no longer drivable I would purchase another one just like it.

The vehicle is the best of both worlds

This is my second Santa Cruz. The first one did not have all the features I wanted. I camp solo and my 22 Santa Cruz pulled my 18' Jayco camper beautifully. I expect the 2025 to tow even better since it has a tow mode and a front camera. I do have an electric brake controller installed in the truck and a weight distribution hitch for towing. The back end with the tonneau cover is great for storing my camping stuff like my small fire pit, BBQ, chairs etc. My Santa Cruz also drives and rides like a car. It is very comfortable and smooth. I also like that I do not have to climb into it like I would a regular truck that is higher.
