Basics About the Hyundai Santa Cruz

The new Hyundai Santa Cruz is on the wish list of every driver who wants the versatility of a pickup truck with the interior comfort and handling of a sedan. Its unique body and practical design catch the eye of other drivers and pedestrians alike. You’ll find many uses for the convenient cargo box in the bed, and you have up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity to work with. 

Performance

The Santa Cruz’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder 191-horsepower engine is responsible for its performance. It gets 181 pounds per feet of torque and has an eight-speed automatic SHIFTRONIC transmission. It comes pre-equipped with four-wheel drive. Its low-to-the-ground construction matched with its shorter body makes for better aerodynamics as well as added ease of maneuverability. Drivers love the Cruz’s smooth, fine-tuned ride and are impressed by its agility and fast input response times.

The Santa Cruz was built with unibody construction. This gives it just as much towing capacity as body-on-frame rivals but also greatly improves highway driving. The fuel economy is also far superior to other rivals and leaves trucks in the dust completely. The Cruz will see 25 miles per gallon on the highway.

New/Unique 2023 Santa Cruz Features

Interior

Compared to rival vehicles in its class, the Santa Cruz trumps all with its comfortable cabin. Hyundai understands the importance of using premium materials and wants drivers to enjoy the luxury of expensive brands without the price tag. That’s why so many drivers revere the Cruz for its modern-day cabin setup. The information cluster is fully digitized. Touch points have been greatly reduced thanks to the updated voice recognition software that can understand far more commands.

As a four-door crew cab, the interior passenger space has room for four adults with plenty of legroom and headroom. The cargo bed offers four feet of space for your purchases and/or belongings, and the lockable in-bed trunk adds desirable versatility to your storage options.

Safety

Hyundai implemented all the latest and greatest driver assistance and safety programs to make your drive easier and far less stressful. Before long the Santa Cruz will feel like a trustworthy road companion, and it’s all thanks to systems like the Lane Keeping Assist, the Collision Mitigation programs, and the Collision Avoidance Assistants. These keep a watchful eye on your vehicle and its position on the road. They also watch where other drivers are to protect you from impending accidents.

Other systems are here to help you with those tricky driving situations, such as trying to see around blind spots and parking in narrow places. The backup camera will allow you to park anywhere without fear, and you’ll always know when objects are in your blind zones.
