Capable, flexible and designed for the modern lifestyle, the Hyundai Santa Cruz offers the very best of SUV and compact pick-up in one.

Dubbed a Sport Adventure Vehicle by the team at Hyundai, the vehicle is a blend of my favorite features in the Tucson with a functional trunk bed. It has real interior space. Think leg room for passengers, cargo holds for all of your gear, cups and devices and enough charging ports that you don’t have to share.

Who will love this one?

Made for the active lifestyle, but not designed as a heavy duty hauler, the Santa Cruz is designed to meet the needs of the active urbanite that wants the use of an open air bed for bikes, boards, tailgate treasure or the goods for your next DIY project.

At first glance, the lines of the Santa Cruz are striking and bold, but look closer and the modern eye-catcher is adorned with functional details that bring an extra element of fun, security and flexibility to the compact truck space.
Comfortably seating 4, but with belts for 5, the interior is open and feels like a full-size SUV, comparable to the Tucson, with generous leg space, easy access to LATCH anchors and smart placement of cupholders and tech connections. Parents of people, dog lovers, gardeners, people with light gear to carry and those that want the use of truck bed , but the versality of a SUV.
