2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Model Review - Arlington, TX

What's New For the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz?

The Santa Cruz is an exciting new release from Hyundai. It's a cross between a pickup truck and an SUV, which Hyundai calls a "Sport Adventure Vehicle." Built for the outdoors, the Santa Cruz features a rugged and athletic build with high wheel arches and a nimble, compact frame that allows it to conquer the trails while still hauling all your gear and supplies around. The Santa Cruz has a composite bed in the back and a comfortable cabin that seats five. Inside you'll find a wealth of technology, starting with the base trim level. Advanced features, including a 10.25-inch digital display, leather materials, and advanced safety technology, add to the appeal of the higher-end trim levels.
