Santa Cruz was developed to be the ultimate Sport Adventure Vehicle, a moniker confirmed in Hyundai’s early consumer research. The research found consumers, often living in urban environments, whose lifestyles include the need to escape to weekend adventures of all kinds. Many of these customers carry various gear and equipment that is better suited to an open bed rather than a typical SUV body style. These buyers want versatile transportation that is equally flexible for urban, adventure, occupational or even home improvement gear. Santa Cruz features a secure, open bed area which includes a lockable tonneau cover and hidden bed storage. At the same time, these customers still value the secure utility of a compact SUV, with its comfort, passenger space, fuel efficiency and parking ease. Santa Cruz, with its unique, bold design, created an entirely new segment that meets these specific buyer needs like no vehicle before it.
Everything about Santa Cruz reflects a duality of purpose in its design execution. This all-new category-bending vehicle holds a variety of imagery in balanced juxtaposition:
Urban life connectivity with escape to outdoor adventure
Work and play flexibility
Tough yet alluring demeanor
Roominess with maneuverability
Open cargo area and secured, lockable storage
Towing capability and fuel efficiency

We just returned from a trip to Disney/Universal, a total of 1110 miles. Average MPG for the trip was 27.8; the highest MGP recorded was 31.3. VERY comfortable ride, plenty of power and more than enough storage space for all our stuff and all the stuff we bought while there. The driving assist modes felt much more refined than on the '19 Tucson we traded in. The cargo bed net (we don't have the bed fence) kept everything very secure in the bed. VERY HAPPY with our Santa Cruz!!
Which engine do you have?
@@eddiepeele9810 The 2.5 turbo.
Put the K&N filter in! No more turbo lag Completely and 34 mpg now if you put 36 psi air and do the speed limit. We just got home before Storm and ran 2,236 miles. We Love our Cruzer! SEL Premium turbo. Stone Blue!
Sad how Disney has gone woke. Whoops! Got off track! Glad your Santa Cruz performed well! Good luck with it. My 2018 Elantra with a manual transmission and base engine is the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. 126k and all I've done is a wheel bearing, and I went in for an oil change when it was fairly new, and they asked if they could change my thermostat.
This car is absolutely amazing. Most trouble free car I've owned, even over toyota and honda.Honda. My next vehicle might be a Santa Cruz. I also am looking at a new Kona. I like how those are made in the Ulsan Korea plant. Same place that made my elantra.
Just picked up the same exact truck...SEL Premium in Phantom Black. I have used it for my daily commute for just a few days but I can say that it is a pleasure to drive, and I can't help but glance back at it with a smile as u am walking away from it. If an El Camino and a Subaru Baja had a child, it would be the Santa Cruz.....all grown up of course! This review is one of the most comprehensive reviews I have ever viewed. Thanks to the content creator for their hard work! I subbed and hit the bell.🙏🏼
Edit: Got it just in time. We are scheduled to be hit with a Nor'Easter and Bomb Cyclone this weekend so I will get to drive it in deep snow.
Honestly I think the wheels on the SEL look a lot better than the wheels on the limited
Finally someone mentioned the bed extender. The bed extender gives this a 6 foot bed, more like a bigger truck. The most important accessory for my use.
Love ours we got it for Christmas.Exact same one, it’s amazing the turning radius is super, it’s not underpowered and Hyundai has the best support ever, I immediately had email from them on how to use everything and questions. Really well designed and made, you get a lot more for your money than other manufacturers
I bought the lower engine model with accessories package. I drive tons of miles and hoping does a bit better on gas. Plus it’s a mini truck I don’t care how quick it is. Saved me 3k too. Drove it 200 mile road trip first day I had it. Rolls down highway just fine. Does click down a gear up big hills, but no increased noise or jerkiness.
You can easily haul 4 by 8 sheets in the Santa Cruz. I verified this in person, less than 2 weeks ago. First you put a couple of two-by-fours in those cross pockets that you pointed out in the bed. Then raise the tailgate partway up and while holding it, remove the tailgate cables (one side at a time) and move them to their higher position on the bottom bolt of the tailgate latch retainer. The tailgate cables now hold the top of the tailgate at the same height as the top of the two-by-fours that you installed in those cross pockets. All you have left to do is secure the sheets so they will not slide out by using tie-downs or rope that can be anchored to the tie downs inside of the bed. You'll also be able to carry a fair amount of items under the sheets at the same time.
I own an F-350 Crew Cab dual rear wheel that I used in work for many years. I'm not doing that type of work anymore, and don't require the heavy payload and full size 8-foot bed. However, I don't want to give up the versatility of hauling bulky items. I believe the Santa Cruz will fill the niche quite well for me. I was very impressed with its fit and finish and their warranty is better than anybody's right now. I also like the fact that it is not utilitarian inside as I will be using this as a daily driver. To put things into perspective, the money saved on fuel alone will nearly make the payment on the Santa Cruz.
@John Dough This is obviously not for people in the truck market. No one is cross shopping this with an F-150. It's only real competitor in the USA is a Ford Maverick, which came out after this. It's for the average urban homeowner who occasionally needs to do some home improvement, gardening, etc but doesn't want to drive a truck every day. This vehicle is based on the Tucson, which starts at $30k whereas this Santa Cruz starts at less than $25k. If you look at what you get for 40k fully loaded (all the tech, comfort and handling) it's comparable to other cars in that price range.
I picked up one EXACTLY like that on Saturday. Loving it!
Thank you for this review! Not bad for a first car with form factor from Hyundai. Always appreciate your detailed car reviews.

Espero ver o tamanho do tanque de combustível, dessa pick up.
Yes you can carry some plywood sheets. Look in the manual at what the tailgate does
Just bought santa cruz yesterday, I love it!!!!
For any 4x8 sheet you just need to set the tailgate at a angle with the two tailgate cables set to the top notch then a 4x8 sheet will rest flat on the wheel arches and tailgate,
I've been looking at the Santa Cruz to replace my FJ Cruiser 14 year old FJ. I've always liked the more unusual vehicles like the Toyota FJ toyota fj cruiser, Subaru Baja, and the Mazda RX8.
I'm not a huge fan of the centre console looks a bit cheap shiny piano black it's going to show every bit of dust and fingerprints. But I do like it has a gear stick and not buttons.
I wonder if Hyundai do a hybrid version since it's almost the same powertrain as a the Tucson ?
Mike, I love your reviews and your coverage of this sharp, black Santa Cruz is fantastic and thorough! However, you missed one critical detail about loading plywood and having support. You can reposition the tailgate cables, so it’s angled and will support the plywood, at the same level as the cutouts over the wheel arches! Hyundai thought everything through…
Plywood on top of the wells with a few cinder blocks down the center and Gate halfway up you could probably haul 5-8 more layers of plywood or Sheetrock no problem.
El presio de la camioneta $$ y cuando llega México
1:44 love the Spongebob hand
That semi-circular bed extender device is quite an ingenious helper.
I'm thinking of getting the SEL Level Santa Cruze with the activity package....is the bed extender available with the "activity package"?
More i see the vehicle, More attractive it gets! At first, I said what the hell is that? Now, i dig it.
The black with bright chrome in front really pops. Looks better than the black chrome in ultimate trim.
thumbs up for the little hand pointer! LOL
Great video Mike I just bought this exact vehicle only a 2024. Absolutely love it.
GRAT REVIEW!!! Thank you!! I'm sold on a 2023 when they hit the market
This is the type of channel that I like to watch. Excellent review. Good job , Dude. Now I am going to proceed to subscribe.
The tailgate has two positions one upper and one lower. By raising to the upper position you can haul a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood or other material.
I absolutely loved my limited. I got great milage for a Turbo (24 -30 MPG). Unfortunately mine was totaled in an accident by an uninsured driver. I could not get another one because of dealer markups. I still miss the incredible Little Trucklet!
Thank you for sharing your experience :)
That sux been they the same myself lucky for me I ended up in a Santa Cruz no mark ups
Thanks for the video. I'm planning to purchase a 2024 2.5T version, pretty soon. I'm driving a 2021 Veloster n with the DCT. It's awesome! I was hoping you were going to try the Sport mode during your test drive just to see if you noticed anything different. Thanks Mike.
Ive been wanting a charger but I keep looking up this truck. Im actually annoyed by how much I like this thing, I dont even need a truck!
Best and detailed viewing so far!!!
First reviewer that commented on the poor rear visibility. I was pretty surprised how I couldn't see much behind me when trying to back out. That rear sliding window makes it worse alright. Would have to mostly just use the cameras likely. Funny that the info screen is different on each model. The plain SEL has huge knobs for the volume and fan speed while the Premium has no knobs or scrollers. I honestly think I might like the top model screen with no knobs and bigger screen for viewing maps better.
I'm not sure if it was covered here but I'm guessing the SEL premium doesn't have the cameras in the dashboard to see when you're changing lanes
What is the distance from the edge of the tonneau cover handle to the tailgate. It seems to limit the cargo area even more than the cannister does.
I like this Ute. Would love to see it arrive in Mexico 🇲🇽. My first choice would be a Suzuki Jimny, Subaru XV, this Ute and then the Forrester…. In this order
Nicely done!!!
You should have put it in Sport mode on a couple of your performance runs. You would have been surprised.
Wish this turbo engine was paired with the regular automatic.
🙏Thank you, this is very helpful! 🙌🙌🙌
Mike, great under car video...such a unique angle...
I checked out a Santa Cruz looks nice,.. but too small.(definitely not for a family for 4),… I’m 6ft 300lbs… not for me
Looks expensive and it is. $45k isn't cheap for a compact truck, but you get a premium stuff. I can't wait to change turn signal led to top corner.
I bought the SEL but wanted the SE version. It is loaded! Lane assist and other driver assists are standard. In my opinion you are wasting your money getting the premium and limited models.
I like you explaining
Excellent review 🙌🙌🚘
He said under the hood is insulated and I think he means that it’s a fire blanket where if the engine catches on fire it’ll melt the pins that’s located under the hood which will enable the fire blanket to drop over the engine , smothering out the fire. It’s not insulation.
It is not mutually exclusive. Insulating sound echoes under the hood is the primary role.
Great review, great work!
This is one amazing truck! However, the turn signals point the wrong direction. Nitpicking? Probably.
I thought the same thing.
@John Dough you can haul a medium size boat on it pretty easy, the engine is powerful enough
I'm 6'3 could get in and out easily
The car is a must see in person
Hard to find them because the factory shutdown for awhile do to covid,,,,the one i look at was not for sale,,,,just for the show room
Hyundai is really good with exterior styling lately. Can't believe those rear door armrests. Not going to be very comfortable. Perhaps a higher trim level would include padded arm rests for the rear seat passengers? Rear seat room seems very limited. Perhaps they consider it more a place for extra cargo and only for occasional use for people. The A/C was probably also limiting the acceleration. I've never driven a dual clutch type automatic transmission that I liked. They don't seem to operate as smoothly as a torque converter or CVT.
I want to test drive one. I'm not crazy about the DCT either. My big complain is the interior colors are either grey or black. It would be nice to see a tan interior option.
I really like your pointing finger :)
Good video.
anyone else want that pointer finger he's using?
Good vid. If you take out the tub under the split seats in the rear, will the seats still be able to support 2 adults? I’m worried that the cantilever would put too much twisting force on the “hinge” and sag/ break. What’s your thought on that?
the seats never touch the tub, there's a Hyundai video, six screws and it comes out
I want this truck !
Thanks Mike ! Nice review !
Nice video Mike ,I just bought a 2023 SEL with the Natural Asperated 2.5 engine and the conventional 8 speed AT, I did not want the turbo or Espically the dual-clutch transmission, I have the same color and interior and I gotta say I love it ,,,,alot,,,,,.
Please Come come to Lao PDR we use lots of H100 porter2 starax but no this one
Santa is breathtaking 😍
Cruz or Claus? 🎅🏼🤣
Not bad half truck and car when will it come to Ontario's canada
It's already in Canada. Pre Order was back in May. If you didn't pre order... Can't get one at the moment. Ours arrives in the next 2 weeks. We bought one
Very thorough review. Especially the infotainment, this trim does have a few buttons after all. But interior with so much plastic is cheap for a “premium” trim, no soft touch even on the arm rests? They could take a few more cues from the Telluride or Santa Fe. Adding The leather and Stereo upgrade with 20” wheels makes all the difference. A larger back seat would be good. And you cannot see well out the rear so they should have blind spot and cross traffic standard all trims like they had to do with the Stinger. I’m tempted to wait for 2nd year and see what Hyundai decides to improve in these areas.
Chrysler also had or still has a phantom black similar to this. I wonder if they will sue Hyundai for them having the same name.
Great, well produced video! By far the best, most thorough look at this new vehicle. Really appreciate your detailed driving impressions, too. I'm a little leary of Hyundai/Kia though. They don't have a good track record when it comes to reliability and quality. Not really sure about the longevity of that dual clutch. I wonder what kind of maintenance it will need, i.e. how often you should be changing the fluid. Looking forward to when you can see how the Ford Maverick compares. 👍
Hyundai has a 10 year powertrain warranty which covers the engine and the transmission. They are also in the upper tier of manufacturers for general reliability (JD puts them at 7th place, Consumer Reports puts them in 6th place, as far as the common rankers).
Did you see the Hyundai Kia Genesis JD Power initial quality and the 3yrs dependability? Check it out. Currently in IQS, they are better than Toyota while on dependability they are top 5 and top 10. You are still thinking of the old Hyundai.
FYI,...Hyundai has had GREAT RELIABILITY for over 20 years!...BETTER in some cases than Honda, Toyoda, Mazda, and any other Japanese make. Their Quality/Fit n Finish is far better than ALL those makes mentioned. Check out JD Power & Associates for their rankings on the Quality/Reliability rankings. Hyundai/Kia are always at or near the top!...And Hyundai produces its own steel for their vehicles. They sell it to Mercedes, BMW, etc.
kia hyubdai are the best qualitty today and really back their vehicles
I heard they’re actually not that bad, I also thought they are not as reliable as Toyota…
I wonder if you could put a popup camper on this?
I wonder how ford feels about being so far behind hyundai I mean you can buy a santa cruz today from what I am hearing we are not going to be able to see a maverick tested until the middle of next month
Ford probably feels good knowing that the Maverick is going to outsell the Santa Cruz by the thousands lol
@Edward Garcia Maybe in the Country, but in the cities where millions more live I see the Sta Cruz taking over sales by a wide margin. Ford's majority of the sales will be going to the fleet market and not to the public...
@John Doe Lol. Wonder how Fords thinks about it's Maverick hauling less tampons than the more powerful Santa Cruz? 🤣
The best. Thank you.
The grill looks Cadillac-ish.
Can i install a towing hitch???
Ooooo..
Great question! I'd like to know if the Santa Cruze line provides that option....
😮
Hello from Greece. Could you please make a review of the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban?
I will try :)
The front turn signal at night could be confused for left or right indication...form over function...poor design.
Did they fix the rear signal indication they had earlier?
They should offer this in a more base price to compete with Maverick.
Overpricing options are not what economical buyers are looking for
Design is very user friendly overall and that will make it functionally competitive.
Though I do think it needs to have a hybrid/mpg boost to it so they lean towards transitioning to EV for their timid customers so they have a learning connection with their customers.
I give much credit though that it is made in USA.
good looking truck
I wonder if it is possible to fold the rear seat seatbacks forward and if there is any storage area behind them.
No storage behind them, that is where the sub-woofer is located.
@@sparklander I'd probably remove the rear seats and the subwoofer LOL.
@@toronado455 I would remove the drivers side seat so I can still haul a 3rd person in the rear then build a hinged plywood floor over that storage compartment and carpet it to match. Did it in my old Ranger and was great for tools and stuff. Works good for dogs too !
@@jimji2774 That's a good idea.
That “small car” has roughly the same dimensions as a Palisade or Telluride.
Does the premium have the rear view camera in the mirrors like the limited?
if you mean the blind spot cameras, then no
Good one , thanks .
How much the price of Santa Cruz?
nice pick up
Nice
You left a $100 in the glove box
Great no nonsense review!
Wow beautyful
bị nhỏ nhỏ do rò rì gì à ad ?

This is how you do a review. Not like that rities rides guy.
Sweet
does it have gps
I thought that Premium models had the turn signal screen on the dashboard 🤔I guess that's only optional "or in the "Limited" version 🤷♂
O cara tava indo bem demais no projeto, mas chegou na coluna C e nas lanternas traseiras, estragou tudo. 🤣🤌🏻🤦🏻♂️
What kind of engine, CVT????

'Lots of SEL Premium and Limited reviews online, but I have yet to notice a review of a lower trim level Santa Cruz with the standard, non-turbo engine and conventional 8-speed automatic trans. It seems as though Hyundai is being evasive about showing it, going for a stronger first impression with the more-luxurious, higher trims.
I bought the SEL but wanted the SE. They are both loaded! Couldn't see myself spending $10k to $15k more for only a few more options that I could live without, lol. The 2.5Lna engine has enough power for what I need. All models come standard with the driver assist options...
👍👍👍👍👍

the car is beautiful the only i dont like the name
This truck is new and seats and foot rest area already looks worn😐
Excellent! I have too wonder about buying a so called SUV or truck with a shit 4 cylinder. Ford Ranger is also 4 cylinder. They are working over time to give the consumer less for alot $ more. Premium is a 4 cylinder with a turbo to have some power. Not for me. Thanks good job.

Matches the rest of it.
isuzu vehicross of 2022.... Ugly
Overpriced, no rear cup holders, no rear vents or usb ports, 4.5ft bed the Ford Maverick is gonna outsell this truck by a mile. I see Hyundai discounting this truck and also making changes to the bed and interior sooner than later.👎
There are plus and minus on the car. One advantage of Santa Cruz vs Maverick is the bed doesn’t rust and dent. It has hidden bed storage. Styling is better than Maverick which is bland. Better handling and has more safety feature on base trim and many more. I’m getting this since Hyundai has better quality and dependability than Ford. In fact, the initial quality result this year Hyundai is better than Toyota, Ford is far behind.
Vents ARE under the front seats...
I sorry. This is ugly car
That engine is weak
Explains the name
