Have a 2022 sel had first rain since purchase. Recently installed tonneax cover first hard rain and the floor on passenger side is a soggy mess. Dealer looked at it and could only assume it was doe to cover install not. Under warranty. Removed cover reinstated original screws and it is still wet. Dealer doesn't seem to interested in problem and solution not impressed with after sales support

If you tow a lot and haul a lot, this isn't for you. This isn't a farm truck or a work truck. But if you live in the suburbs and use a truck bed for the occasional camping trip, kayak trip, or trip to Home Depot, this thing is great. Tons of useful features on the outside (taneau cover, roof rails, AC outlet in the bed, etc.) On the interior, the Limited trim is amazing. Those complaints about not having knobs? Forget 'em. That doesn't bother me at all. And the clean look and functionality are awesome. It just looks cool. Lots of connected features like remote start, digital key, etc. And the smart, adaptive cruise control is a game-changer.

Great SUV-truck

Don’t always need a huge truck, 02/22/2023

I’ve owned many pickups, from small Fords to big Silverados and F-150s pulling trailers, RVs and boats. The downside to most of these trucks has been they are just too big for city driving & parking, and thus are really “second” vehicles. Our Santa Cruz addresses this dilemma with its compact size, easy maneuverability, and small-job cargo space. In other words, it is a great urban truck. Certainly not for everyone, but in my case, a great solution to the urban truck quandary where someone needs an SUV most of the time and truck occasionally. Great build quality, nice interior, and stylish design. If you need a big truck for hauling stuff this won’t work for you, but if you have a truck for that, this will become your everyday go-to errand-runner and favorite SUV-truck. I opted for the standard engine, and it is a great power-economy balance. Favorite accessory: roll up tonneau cover for securing the bed from prying eyes.

We had to do a lot of searching to find the hampton gray premium. We drive 3.5 hours to Gates Hyundai in Richmond, Kentucky. Great experience with them! Love the safety features and all of the technology! Fun to drive…super satisfied with our purchase!

If you really want to enjoy driving, try the new Hyundai Santa Cruz, the newest model in pickup trucks. I did! With its multi-faceted design, it is tough enough for a man while being sophisticated enough for a woman. Enjoy the smooth ride on all terrain types. I love this truck. There's none like it! I'm SOLD!!!
