The Maverick with tow package can do 0-60 in 5.9 secs. Without tow package, 6.4 secs. That with 250 hp. I would think the SC with 31 more hp would be a tick quicker. I think the wider tires on the SC slow it down a tick. 245's vs the Mavericks 225's.
@@alexp9793 Hyundai XRT Santa Cruz now has 20,000 miles and doing great. We have driven Alabama,Florida,Georgia,Tennessee,Kentucky,Mississippi,Louisiana and enjoying the ride. These things are manufactured in Montgomery Alabama, they have done a good Job.
Joe: Thanks for the review; I am looking to buy a Santa Cruz. I drove a non turbo SEL and a turbo XRT and the turbo is the way to go. One correction: The non-turbo models can tow 3500 lbs but the turbo models can tow 5000 lbs. Ridgelines can tow 5000 lbs so I think this is pretty impressive for the compact Santa Cruz. The Maverick hybrid or turbo can only tow 2000 Lbs unless you get the turbo AWD with the 4k tow package; good luck finding that option/combo here in the Tampa Bay area. So where towing is concerned the less trucky Santa Cruz does "truck" better than the truckier looking Maverick.
Sold my 2021 Tacoma and was looking at the 2024 Mavrick XLT and Santa Cruz SEL. Test drove both and ended up buying the 2024 Santa Cruz SEL. Both drove well, but the SC was a smoother and quieter ride on the highway. Out the door price for the Mavrick was in excess of $37,000, while the OTD price for the SC was approx. $35,500 and included nav, dual a/c control, sunroof, SiriusXM and a hard rollup tonneau cover. The Mavrick had none of these. The 5 year/60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty vs. Fords 3/36,000 warranty was another big factor in my decision to purchase the Santa Cruz. P.S.--my wife loves the Santa Cruz, and drives it more than her Ford Edge.
Failed, should just buy the honda ridgeline with way better reliability and value in the long run. Ford is pos garbage and Hyundai have all those warranty because they don't even trust their own cars.
I have been seeing these on the road and been impressed with their visual appeal just like with a lot of the other new Kias and Hyundais. I am just as impressed at a closer look, especially with their decision to include the option of a turbo 4-cylinder and dual-clutch transmission.
It's not really supposed to be a truck truck. Rather, it's supposed to be the kind of truck set the Honda Ridgeline is, or at least was. The kind of truck that you get if you don't need to do all the things that you get with an actual truck. Hauling the occasional bag of mulch, for example as opposed to an entire Construction site.
@@blairbrown4812That’s why I’m considering it. Definitely need the space/extra utility of a truck and AWD/4WD but a 4.5-5ft bed is more than enough for me and the trunk in the bed is even better. Gas mileage is a big consideration as well. I could 100% afford a mid size/full size pickup but I’d never use it to it’s full potential lol.
I have a Honda Ridgeline, You know what, I have never had to bail water out of it. I know someone who purchased a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz & they have taken it back to the dealer 3 times to get the water leaks repaired. They were told that it was repaired, but it leaked water again the very next storm. Thet were pissed, the back seat was soaked along with the floor and carpet. They took it back the last time & told them to keep it until it was fixed! I know which one that I would buy!!!!
I like the design of those wheels (but with the regular black center caps) but they look small in the wheel wells of the SC. The wheel cutouts are huge and are shaped for the larger 20" wheels.
You could also fit a Merlin and a Magic Merlin in those seat-pouches! It's slick, and it's fresh; I really can't blame folks for wanting one. People are tired of these stale lineups from other manufacturers... it's been the same ol' stuff for years, give or take some recalls. But gosh, 41k? And, after all the dealership mumbo-jumbo... 50k? That's gonna be a hard-sell.
My dad bought a Santa Cruz XRT. It is pretty cool looking on the outside, but really not that special on the inside. The backseat is comfortable but really nothing much back there. No ac/heat vents, center arm rest or USB ports. That's pretty much my only gripe about it. I do like the fact I have plenty of legroom and I do feel safe in the back.
Owned 2 Tacoma’s which I loved, but traded my last one for a 2021 Ridgeline. The Ridgeline drives so much better, smoother, roomier, bed trunk is awesome, only Zonk is slow infotainment system. Sound is great though as I have the RTLE with 540watts and a subwoofer!!! Don’t like the looks of the Santa Fe or Maverick. Ridgeline improved looks in 2021 with more solid front end plus duel exhaust….Joe always love your reviews!!!
One of my biggest zonks for new cars is that they cost sooo much yet automakers are STILL putting light bulbs instead of leds in the exterior lighting. If people are going to be paying these high prices, full led lighting should be a given imo.
Turbo model can tow 5,000 lbs Non-turbo model can tow 3,500 lbs Maybe you could get a mechanic to go over the technical aspects of the car, like... What kind of variable valve timing it has. Hyundai has come out with a new variable valve timing system that has valve duration control. What type of fuel injection system it has? Is it the problematic direct injection or have they changed that system?
Always a big fan of yours for the most random choice of expressions you come up with. Very entertaining. I personally think Hyundai made a very good move on the compact pickup truck segment based on a front wheel drive setup. The Ridgeline is no longer small and it's about time people start discussing about the midsize and compact trucks we used to get decades ago at a starting price in the 20k range. I am quite confident a substantial portion of current truck users barely tow anything let alone actively use the bed, utilizing all that payload capacity. This compact truck just about serves its purpose, you know, those once or twice a year when you can't fit everything inside the cabin of your SUV and wished you had an open space with no roof so you can stack your furniture or appliance, things like that. It's actually my first time paying attention to the rear seat area and I agree with you that not having a rear seat vent is a huge bummer for vehicle reaching $40k. I mean, Hyundai is always so keen in making sure even their compact cars receive the vents but I wonder why they had to cheap out for Santa Cruz. Also the competition for off road trims is becoming extremely competitive and popular these days, to the point where F-150 offers like three different off road trims across its entire price range, so Hyundai should pay sharp attention to this trend and come up with something more than just this XRT with on road tires(probably due to emissions/fuel economy) and a standard Tucson-looking interior. Other than that, I absolutely love the powertrain. Very recent rumor has it that the next Elantra N may receive this same 2.5 liter turbo engine and it sure sounds fun to have access to all the fun parts available for the N once it begins sharing the same engine. I hope Hyundai updates the interior of the Santa Cruz quick enough since the refreshed Tucson has a much better interior, including the quirky digital cluster replaced with a nicer looking one.
The Santa Cruz XRT shown in this video looks beautiful and reminds me of the Subaru Baja from the early 2000's, which is a compliment in my book. The interior is okay but the dashboard is terribly though, the dash cluster looks horrible and I'm not feeling the ipad in the center stack.
I drove one for a week my elantra gt n line was in for a week in service. The truck actually turns into a car. I love the fact rhat i didnt care about driving sideways in my driveway lol
I have a 22 sel premium. Can tow 5000lbs. Should have put it in sport mode and experienced the difference it makes. Also the instrument cluster works well. I have never found myself wanting a hood over it.
Yea great video , I love the turbo, love the running board for short people . .Shame no phone connections in rear seating , no air or heat, wish the seats had some color, it's dull inside. Need off road tire, need mirrors to retract, love bed action. Wish rear window was electric. Kind of boring for $42,000. Yea, boring door panels and need reverse camera to small, seats should have color. Is there a camera and corner cameras, good head room. No arm rest! Yea great power. Thx Joe.
Chevy needs to bring the El Camino back. Subaru needs to bring the Brat back with the two back seats on the bed! Sitting in the back of one of those back in the day was the coolest! 😂
I love a great city truck like the Santa Cruz, they're great for getting groceries/picking up small loads from Lowes/taking on a roadtrip. BTW, the little truck fender logo is a mount spot for a GoPro-type action camera.
Give me this in a Coupe damn it! * 10:40 the Backup Camera's aspect ratio would not fit the full screen, it would be distorted if you made it fill the screen.
You cant compare this to a Ridgeline solely due to the price point. Ridgelines START at around 40k. People who want the Mav or SC want it because its way more affordable. I want this in a hybrid. I drive a Mazda 3 and although its been great, i need something bigger. But dont need an extended cab or something way too big. So really the only 2 that have what I want is this or the Mav. If only Mazda sold their truck in North America.
That tows more then Maverick. 2.0 lt turbo Maverick tows 4,000lbs with max towing package. Hy turbo i believe it’s 5,000lbs. Non turbo is 2500 lbs. Zank on info
Dude, Hyundai doesn't call it a pickup truck, because its not a truck, It's a Crossover! Same as the Honda Ridgeline. It's unibody construction, a real truck has a full 'H' frame.
Good lord please stop calling vehicles like this and the Maverick and the Ridgeline trucks. They are cars with beds. That does not equal a truck. It equals an El Camino. And that is FINE. But they aren't trucks. Call them what they are. It's okay to like modern El Caminos but they don't have the capabilities of a truck and are therefore not trucks. If someone hacks off the back of a Honda Civic and rigs up a bed is that suddenly a truck, no.
My 2015 santa fe 2.0T has more wistles and bells then the santa cruz xrt does for sure. Santa Cruz is Kinda disapointing. I would have expected better from Hyundai.
Is it more reliable than a honda? Till when? 250,000 miles, probably not. But is anyone actually going to drive this santa cruz for 250,000 miles? No and why would you. Unless you buy this truck when you're 68 yrs old and it's the last vehicle you'll ever buy. Toyota and Honda are for old people. They're designed to be reliable and comfy and simple. Not fun or innovative. Do yourself a favor and buy the santa cruz. I did.
I refuse to deal with Honda ever again since they screwed me over on an older gen ridgeline I got from one of their stealerships. Santa Cruz wins by default for me
Nice looking truck but Hyundai's engines are trouble. I was bit twice by bad engines on Hyundais.... Never again for me. I know, I know... Hyundai fixed those problems..... I heard that twice over 8 years and guess what, Hyundai didn't. Good Luck!
Im 100% sure that Hyundai isnt better then the honda and thats not my opinion... its been proven..... Hyundai has good price values and some style but thats it
Junk!!!!!!! Warranty is a joke. Bad engines and they will not fix them because they find every excuse to not fix them. They were taken to court and it has not helped much. Paint peels off too. Sad customer service and made cheap. Ask any mechanic. DO NOT BUY
Love the idea of having a pick up for the city. Nice cargo area and a low fuel consumption.
@@Brian_Eugene_Leewho cares? Call it what u want.
Very good points to make Omar!
When I first seen these on the road hideous was the first thing that popped in my mind. But I have actually fallen in love with them 😂
Seen🤣
0-60 6sec and 281hp for such a small truck, i wasn't expecting that at all, Impressive, Love it
The Maverick with tow package can do 0-60 in 5.9 secs. Without tow package, 6.4 secs. That with 250 hp. I would think the SC with 31 more hp would be a tick quicker. I think the wider tires on the SC slow it down a tick. 245's vs the Mavericks 225's.
Never in my life wanted a truck. This thing is sexy!
You hit the nail on the head. We want a truck bed but we want it to ride like a suv
Joe mentions a Ridgeline 19 times even though it’s a Hyundai he’s talking about. 😂
It's a shame because the Ridgeline doesn't even look like the Santa Cruz
They both start with the letter H
@@lavapop1900 It is the same concept
We all know a Honda is king over a Hyundai/kia. And a Toyota is king of the entire auto industry by far. Honda is great but fell far behind Toyota
His title is a question. He's doing us consumers a favor. Personally I like both of the vehicles.
"Don't play monopoly that's the game of the Devil" LOL got me with that one😂
Also, great review Joe
personally, i found a used Hyundai SC with activity package and only 9k. i love it and i think i got a good deal.- i really like the truck

Good lord please stop calling vehicles like this and the Maverick and the Ridgeline trucks. They are cars with beds. That does not equal a truck. It equals an El Camino. And that is FINE. But they aren't trucks. Call them what they are. It's okay to like modern El Caminos but they don't have the capabilities of a truck and are therefore not trucks. If someone hacks off the back of a Honda Civic and rigs up a bed is that suddenly a truck, no.

No. That issue has been fixed.
