2024 Santa Cruz
- Manufacturer: Hyundai
- Model: Santa Cruz
While you gain ridiculous power, dramatically high level of towing capacity, and increased load carrying with more giant pickup trucks, the one aspect that often suffers with the added oomph is the vehicle’s handling and drivability.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz offers the perfect go-between that bridges the gap by being decently good at both truck and car stuff. Bringing a unit that combines the elegant good looks you would expect to see on cars in urban areas with easy drivability (and parking) and a small cargo bed to handle minor jobs and outdoorsy detours.
If you believe this unique automobile market segment is the perfect one for you, then you can’t go wrong picking the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz, arguably the best in the bunch.
For the 2024 release, Hyundai retains everything that made the Santa Cruz great, focusing instead on creating a new, more rugged XRT trim and varying the standard and available options on the existing trims.
The haptic feedback system for the starting wheel that plugs into safety features like blind spot collision avoidance and lane keep assist becomes standard for all trims; the same thing happens for LED projector headlights, variants higher than the base SE get an automatic defogger and dual-zone climate control, and the SEL Activity Package gets the larger 10.3-inch display instead of eight-inch infotainment touchscreen that comes standard on lower trims.
Under the hood, the two available powertrain options divide the Santa Cruz lineup starkly into two types of vehicles.
The entry-level trims feature a 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and produces a measly 181 pound-feet of torque. This underpowered setup takes these Santa Cruz trims further away from the "real" truck experience but retains everything else that makes this vehicle a solid pick. This powertrain is available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
To get more power, you must opt for one of the higher trims that feature a more capable 281-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that comes paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
