The SANTA CRUZ debuts an exciting new era for adventure-seekers, outdoor enthusiasts, and do-it-yourselfers. It combines the flexibility of an open truck bed and the comfort of an SUV so you can easily load it up with gear and start planning your next adventure.
The aggressive stance and modern capable look of the Santa Cruz clearly speaks to the adventurous spirit in everyone. The brilliant array of eight daytime running lights give it a unique light signature combined with a bold, cascading grille. Take advantage of the open bed area and secure your items with the sliding, lockable tonneau cover. Hidden bed storage and a remote-activated opening tailgate make it easy for you to load up and go.
The Santa Cruz also offers enhanced performance with a 2.5L turbocharged engine with 281 horsepower and an 8-speed wet Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). For the ultimate in handling, performance and traction, the Santa Cruz features HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with a 5,000 lb. towing capacity to give you comfort for the long haul and confidence to explore beyond.
Versatility and advanced technology inside and out.
The interior of the Santa Cruz is sophisticated and refined featuring an edgeless infotainment screen appearance with an available 10.25" touchscreen and available 10.25" full digital LCD cluster. Under the rear seats is convenient, in-cabin storage for those personal items. And completing the premium cabin is the available interior ambient lighting, an available Bose® premium audio system with Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.
Not only does the Santa Cruz get you to your next adventure, it takes you there safely, thanks to an array of advanced safety technologies as part of the Hyundai SmartSense™ feature suite.
