Drivers will appreciate the superb handling whether they are driving around the city or taking on sweeping bends on the open road.

Ride Experience

The 2022 Santa Cruz delivers a smooth ride on just about any surface. The suspension absorbs road imperfections while allowing passengers to stay upright around tight corners. Comfortable, supportive seating keeps the driver and passengers comfortable on long drives on the highway. Depending on the trim, the front seats are also ventilated and heated for extra comfort.
