Well, it's an all-new pickup, Hyundai's first. But there's a lot more going on than just that. This is a compact truck that uses unibody construction rather than the traditional body-on-frame pickup underpinnings. What does that mean? Well, underneath, it shares a basic platform with the redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson compact crossover SUV. This car-like construction results in a more comfortable ride than body-on-frame construction would, but it also results in lower overall capabilities when it comes to off-roading, towing and hauling.

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Review

- Comfortable ride quality and agile handling
- Powerful turbocharged engine option
- Impressive assortment of technology features
- Some neat features for the cargo bed
- Flat seats and limited legroom in the rear
- Compromised rear visibility
- Upper trims are pricey
- All-new compact pickup
- 10-15 inches shorter than most midsize rivals
- Two available four-cylinder engines, one turbocharged and the other not
- Introduces the first Santa Cruz generation for 2022
Truck shoppers have had two broad categories to choose from in recent years: midsize trucks and full-size trucks. But the 2022 model year is different because now there's now a third alternative: compact trucks. And one of two new pioneers for this class is the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. If you don't want all of the full-blown capability and expense of a midsize or full-size truck, the new Santa Cruz is worth checking out.
There are some differences between the Santa Cruz and other traditional trucks. For starters, it's 10-15 inches shorter than most midsize rivals. It also uses unibody construction rather than the traditional body-on-frame pickup underpinnings. What does that mean? Well, underneath, it shares a basic platform with the redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson small crossover SUV. This car-like construction results in a more comfortable ride than a traditional truck's body-on-frame construction would. It's also more nimble around turns.
The Santa Cruz does have lower overall towing, hauling and off-roading capabilities than traditional trucks, but for a lot of people the Santa Cruz could still be enough. For example, max towing is between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, which is pretty strong and suitable for small boats or two-wheel trailers. Unfortunately, you can't get a factory-installed trailer brake controller with the Santa Cruz (a feature that allows you to adjust the trailer's brakes from the cabin), but you could add an aftermarket one to take full advantage of the towing capacity. It also has some cool features such as an underfloor cargo bed storage bin and an available retractable cargo bed cover.
Overall, we like how the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz combines the comfort of a small SUV with most of the utility of a pickup. It also has some significant advantages over its similarly new rival, the Ford Maverick. For more on the Santa Cruz's strengths and weaknesses, check out our full Expert Rating.
Performance
In our testing, the Santa Cruz with the turbo engine accelerated to 60 mph from a stop in just 6.5 seconds, which is both quicker than any midsize truck and comparable to Ford's new small truck, the Maverick. Shifts from the dual-clutch automatic transmission are quick and crisp too, which further increases the Santa Cruz's fun factor. With 8.6 inches of ground clearance and all-wheel drive, the Santa Cruz can handle most graded dirt roads and slippery surfaces. Just don't expect it to be a dedicated off-roader.
Comfort
On the downside, the rear seats are set upright and aren't nearly as comfortable. Wind noise over the sideview mirrors is noticeable at speed, as is road noise from underneath the body.

Interior
There's a distinct future-forward look to the cabin thanks to the optional big center touchscreen and full digital instrument panel ahead of the driver. The shortcut buttons below the touchscreen are too cute for their own good, however. They're touch-sensitive pads instead of regular buttons, and they're distracting to locate and use while driving. Otherwise, everything is well labeled and organized in logical spots, and there are a number of redundant steering wheel controls too.
Visibility out the rear window is compromised, but the optional 360-degree parking camera and high-resolution screen are excellent additions.
Technology
A number of driver aids are standard on the Santa Cruz, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and forward collision warning. The adaptive cruise control and lane keeping systems work well, but we found the warnings for other systems to be overly sensitive and annoying after a while.
Towing and Storage
The cupholders and center console storage are similar to something you'd find in a compact SUV. Large child seats will be a squeeze in the back seat, but anchors are easily located for securing them.
As far as towing and payload go, the Santa Cruz has an impressive maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. But know that in order to tow that much weight you'll need a trailer brake controller — which the Santa Cruz lacks. You'll need to add one from the aftermarket if you plan on towing a heavy trailer.
Fuel Economy
Value
Hyundai's five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty are both unrivaled. So are the rust coverage for seven years/unlimited miles, roadside assistance for five years/unlimited miles, and free maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.

Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. the competition

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

2021 Ford Maverick
Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. Ford Maverick
Your search for a compact pickup will start and end with the Maverick and Santa Cruz. They're broadly similar in price, capability and purpose, so picking one or the other will come down to the details. The Maverick has a lower starting price than the Santa Cruz and a standard hybrid powertrain that gets impressive fuel economy. For its part, the Santa Fe is more comfortable to drive and has a classier interior design.
Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. Honda Ridgeline
Check out the Honda Ridgeline if you like the Santa Cruz but want more space and capability. It has a car-like unibody design, just like the Maverick, but it's a midsize truck rather than a compact. That results in a roomier cab and a bigger cargo bed. And just like the Santa Cruz, the Ridgeline also has an underfloor cargo bed storage bin that you can use to store dirty gear or ice. But for the base price of the Ridgeline, you can get a nicely equipped Santa Cruz.
Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. Hyundai Tucson
Picking between these two Hyundais mostly comes down to whether you want an SUV or a truck. They're mechanically related and have similar dashboard designs. But Hyundai does differentiate them in regards to optional engines. The Santa Cruz offers its powerful turbocharged engine, while the Tucson has an available hybrid powertrain.
2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz First Impressions
The Santa Cruz is currently available with two engines. The first is a non-turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It puts out 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The second engine is a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and puts out 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. That's the one I've tested out so far.
The dual-clutch automatic transmission is unusual in a pickup truck — this style of transmission is often used in sports cars, especially when the automaker is looking to have quick, responsive shifts. The combination of the high-horsepower engine and the quick-shifting DCT make for a surprisingly sporty driving experience. Shifts are crisp and quick, but the turbo 2.5-liter engine isn't exactly enjoyable to listen to on the highway. It drones on a bit, especially on long uphill climbs.
Steering is responsive and gives you a good sense of what the front wheels are doing at all times. The steering wheel gains some extra resistance in Sport mode, but in Normal mode, it's light enough to maneuver into the tightest of parking spots with ease. Handling is impressive too, with generally flat cornering. Unlike a number of body-on-frame midsize trucks, the Santa Cruz is entertaining to drive on a winding canyon road.
Ride quality and seat comfort in the Santa Cruz are both excellent. Even with the optional 20-inch wheels, the ride is smooth over broken highways and the suspension soaks up most of the larger bumps. For the driver and the front passenger, top-notch seat comfort makes this experience even better. For sporty driving, the front seats could use a bit more side bolstering, but they are otherwise supportive and well padded.
The rear seat is a bit flatter, as you'd probably expect, but still uses padding that will keep your passengers comfy on all sorts of long road trips. Legroom is limited, but that's expected when you consider the Santa Cruz's compact size. Adults who check in under 5-foot-10 should fit just fine, but if your legs are particularly long, you'll be cramped in the back seat. Also, the rear seatbacks are very upright, and there's no way to recline them. There's no fold-down center rear armrest either.
While I wouldn't exactly call the Santa Cruz a luxury pickup truck, its cabin is a really nice place to be. The optional 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen and the matching 10.25-inch driver display screen are both high-resolution and typically easy to read. The one exception is that the driver display can be a bit hard to read in intense direct sunlight. The layout of the interior is intuitive, with high-quality materials and lots of soft touchpoints for your elbows and knees to rest on.
Santa Cruz models fitted with the optional 10.25-inch screen don't have traditional shortcut buttons. Instead, it's one large touch-sensitive area. The thought of trying to change the volume or select a radio station this way can seem a bit odd at first, especially since there's no physical feedback from the buttons when you press them. But during our test, we found using them become second nature after a short time. There are also several redundant buttons on the steering wheel if you prefer the old physical-style controls. Base trim levels will get a smaller 8-inch screen with more traditional physical shortcut buttons, which some drivers may prefer.
Even the base Santa Cruz trim has an impressive amount of equipment. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity is standard, so you can mirror your smartphone's apps on the touchscreen without ever plugging it in. Forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist and a driver-attention warning system are all standard. Midlevel trims get extras such as a safe-exit warning that watches for oncoming traffic before you open the vehicle doors, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
The upper-most Limited trim level gets all of the bells and whistles. Along with the upgraded 10.25-inch center touchscreen, the top trim gets a navigation-based cruise control system that adjusts for curves in the road and posted speed limits. There's also a high-resolution 360-degree parking camera that's a big help when you're trying to fit into tight spaces. Unfortunately, some of the driver aids are accompanied by a number of loud beeps and chimes, and they tend to err on the side of caution, which can be a bit annoying. Oh, and that wireless smartphone connectivity? It's only available on the base 8-inch screen. With the upgraded screen, you have to switch back to the plug-in style of seeing your apps.
The Santa Cruz has some pretty impressive numbers when you consider its size. Max towing is between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, which is pretty strong and suitable for small boats or two-wheel trailers. Unfortunately, you can't get a trailer brake controller with the Santa Cruz (a feature that allows you to adjust the trailer's brakes from the cabin), so anything larger will require its own surge brakes or some aftermarket modification of the Santa Cruz itself.
When Hyundai first revealed the Santa Cruz, it listed the bed capacity at 660 pounds, a relatively low number considering the high payload rating. Since then however, the automaker has removed that number from its press materials and won't tell us what the bed capacity is. Instead, it simply quotes its newest payload numbers, which have been revised significantly since the vehicle was first revealed. Payload capacity is actually quite high when you consider the Santa Cruz's small size, ranging from 1,521 pounds on all-wheel-drive Limited models all the way up to 1,703 pounds on front-wheel-drive SE models. That's enough to rival the capability of a typical midsize pickup.
The Santa Cruz's overall dimensions do, however, limit the size of the bed. It's only 48 inches long, whereas most midsize crew-cab pickups have beds that are about 12 inches longer. Thankfully, there are a few extra cargo enhancements. First, there's a locking and drainable trunk in the bed. It's relatively shallow, but it's tall enough for some ice and a deluge of 12-ounce aluminum cans. Or if you're not tailgating, you can store your wet or muddy gear from your latest adventure and easily rinse things out when you're finished. Then there's the height-adjustable tailgate. Simply move the two cables that hold the tailgate in place to a higher position on the bedside. At that point, you've got a tailgate that's held up a few inches higher, matching the wheelwells inside the bed, so you can haul longer items like sheets of plywood or extra-long surfboards.
A standard composite bed cover, a rear bumper with several built-in steps, and a number of in-bed cargo tie-down locations make the Santa Cruz very competitive when it comes to utilitarian needs. Other items such as a roll-up tonneau cover, a roof basket and a 115-volt in-bed power outlet are also offered, giving the Santa Cruz a very adventure-friendly look and feel.
For its size, the Santa Cruz's fuel economy is underwhelming. With the base 2.5-liter engine, paired with either front- or all-wheel drive, it's rated at 23 mpg combined by the EPA. Upgrade to the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine (all-wheel drive only) and fuel economy ratings drop slightly to 22 mpg combined. Those aren't terrible numbers, but depending on your choice of powertrain, several midsize trucks can match or beat those fuel economy ratings.
Then there's the issue of the Ford Maverick. It isn't officially rated by the EPA yet, but according to Ford, the base hybrid powertrain in the Maverick will be capable of achieving 37 mpg combined. For anyone who's following prices and the pump, that's a huge win.
Thankfully, there might be hope on the horizon for Hyundai in the form of a few hybrid powertrains. The Santa Cruz shares a platform with the Tucson SUV and the Tucson offers two different hybrid powertrains. The first is a 1.6-liter engine paired with a hybrid system for an EPA estimate as high as 38 mpg combined. The second is an upcoming plug-in powertrain that offers up to 28 miles of EV range. While Hyundai hasn't officially confirmed the production of future Santa Cruz hybrids, we expect to see these two powertrains under the hood of the Santa Cruz very soon.
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz fills in a gap beneath larger, more expensive midsize trucks. It has the comfort of an SUV with most of the utility of a pickup. Plus, it has cool features like an in-bed trunk, which only Hyundai and Honda offer. It might appeal to you if you don't have high towing and hauling needs but still want something that's more utility-oriented than a regular SUV. Sure, Hyundai is calling it an SAV instead of a truck, and that's cool, but we're gonna call a spade a spade. Check back in the coming months for additional information and our full Edmunds Expert Rating evaluation.
Pickup truck buyers are fiercely loyal. Just ask Honda, Nissan and Toyota, who have been trying to take a bite out of the domestics in the midsize and full-size markets for years with varying degrees of success. Hyundai thinks it has cracked the code with the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz — the automaker's first pickup for the U.S. market.
Details are scarce at the moment, but we believe the Santa Cruz will share a basic platform with the Santa Fe crossover. That means a unibody construction similar to that of the Honda Ridgeline, which offers a more comfortable ride and roomier interior than its midsize rivals.
We don't know which powertrains Hyundai will offer, but a look at the Santa Fe's lineup offers some clues. That SUV's upgraded turbocharged four-cylinder is a given, but another four-cylinder might also be in the mix. The Santa Fe's naturally aspirated motor would lower the price and compete against budget offerings from the GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma. Hyundai could also bring over the Santa Fe's hybrid powertrain, which would make the Santa Cruz unique in its class.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
