We have a limited number of reviews for the 2026 Santa Cruz, so we've included reviews for other years of the Santa Cruz since its last redesign.
For the price, falls just a bit short in some ways

We love the handling and looks of our 2024 Santa Cruz Limited. They color options were quite limited but I see there are more available for 2025. The one thing I dislike about the Santa Cruz (well maybe two) is the infotainment screen. It would be easier to have push buttons for the HVAC rather than dealing with the distracting infotainment screen. I'm also leery of the "big brother" monitoring of my driving that goes on. My other complaint is that for the price of the Limited, the front passenger seat should also have the same controls as the driver's side, rather than the basics. I like the truck bed and tonneau cover plus the in bed storage. But, all in all, we've been quite satisfied with the vehicle.

Defective plastic trim materials

The plastic trim is melting and comes off the glass, the vehicle is only 6 month old, and it's getting worse everyday!!! The Hyundai customer relations refuse to correct saying it's from effect of environment. How good materials behave this way? It's not even that hot outside and the vehicle is new. What is going to happen after couple of years? We paid for new car and warranty, however Hyundai is deceiving the customer!! I would never buy from them again!!!!

2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Night 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8AM)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
I purchased the 2024 Santa Cruz night edition from South Charlotte. I gave up a q 5 20 23 Audi. The Santa Cruz night edition is one of the best vehicles I've ever owned for the price especially mind you. I am 68 years old, it has a lot of balls. And the most comfortable Ride you can imagine And the world. Drive one, you will see what I mean. Cannot say enough about SouthCharlotte Hyundai and cannot say enough for this truck? Fantastic job well done?
