Whether it's a full-size or midsize pickup, most trucks tend to look similar with the same boxy look. But the new Hyundai Santa Cruz isn't your typical truck. Instead, Hyundai seized on an opportunity to offer people a utility vehicle with a new design and lower price. Some may argue that Santa Cruz isn't a "real" truck, but those who drive it know its value. You'll be impressed by all the Santa Cruz can offer, so keep reading to learn more about it.
Highlights of the Hyundai Santa Cruz
One of the benefits of buying the Santa Cruz, other than its price, is it has one of the nicest cabins available. It's the first truck in its class to offer a fully digital gauge cluster. And while a standard eight-inch infotainment system is standard, a 10.3-inch display is optional.
Accompanying such a posh cabin are a slew of digital features, including wireless device charging. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also standard. Also, Hyundai's Blue Link services are free for three years. With Blue Link, drivers can lock and unlock the truck remotely. Also, owners can use an app, the Internet, or Amazon Alexa to start the vehicle.
You'll find two engine options under the hood. The SE and SEL use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that outputs 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. While the Night, XRT, and Limited trims use a turbocharged 2.5-liter to produce 281-hp and 311 pounds of torque.
