If you’re having trouble deciding whether an SUV or truck will best suit your needs, you should take a close look at the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz because you’ll get all the best advantages of both. The line is based on Hyundai’s well-liked Tucson SUV and was one of just two compact pickups that Car and Driver put on its 2024 Editors’ Choice list.
Design
The four doors and two rows of seats on the 2024 Santa Cruz make it so much easier to haul the family to all their various activities each week. The slightly shorter four-foot cargo bed makes driving and parking a lot easier, but it’s still big enough to handle everyday truck needs and for adventuring in the great outdoors. Plus, the Santa Cruz is strong enough to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
The 2024 Santa Cruz’s exterior features snazzy angled lines, an edgy grille, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The stylish interior has an upscale feel, yet comfort remains a priority. Drivers will appreciate a 6-way adjustable seat when spending hours in the car every week.
Performance
The Santa Cruz line’s base model comes with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive and a self-leveling rear suspension are standard on this trim, but all-wheel drive is available as well. A Drive Mode Select feature is also standard and offers you three choices.
Normal
This is the mode your truck defaults to whenever you start your engine. None of your driving dynamics are changed: the Santa Cruz will simply perform as usual.
Eco
This is the mode you should use on long road trips. Fuel consumption is reduced so you can get the most mileage from your vehicle before needing to tank up again.
Sport
If you start feeling a little sporty, this mode will deliver a livelier driving experience. It offers greater precision with increased responsiveness from both the steering wheel and engine.
Technology
An 8-inch touchscreen anchors the standard infotainment system on the 2024 Santa Cruz base model. The system includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus wireless hands-free calling and audio streaming via Bluetooth. A 4.2-inch gauge cluster and two front USB ports are also standard.
Safety
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded the 2024 Santa Cruz a perfect 5-star overall safety rating. Also, Hyundai has very generously installed several highly coveted standard advanced safety features even in the base model, such as:
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Following Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
- Rear Occupant Alert
- Safe Exit Warning
