Engine and Performance

The four-cylinder engine is available in both FWD and AWD in either 2.5L and 2.5Turbo. With both towing and open cargo capabilities, the 2.5L Turbo provides more power at 281hp, a considerable upgrade from the 2.5L at 191. However, the smaller size and lower stature make for easier handling and maneuverability, giving the Santa Cruz an advantage over other SUVs and trucks. Depending on your towing needs, each engine provides between 3,500-5,000 lbs of towing capacity.

Interior and Tech

Don’t let the rugged exterior fool you; Hyundai put everything into making the Santa Cruz’s interior’s comfort and style. You’ll find stain and odor resistant cloth seating at most trim levels, with leather available only on the highest. There’s more than enough head and legroom in the front and back seats for up to five passengers. Don’t worry about cargo room, either. Although the bed is shorter than most other trucks, the Santa Cruz’s bed offers a lockable bed and in-bed trunk that can haul it all. Keep all your passengers entertained with an 8″-10.25″ infotainment center, standard on all models. Also included are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, HD Radio Technology, and front dual USB outlets.

Safety and Driver Assist Features

The 2023 Santa Cruz includes new safety and driver assist technology to keep you safe on the road. Surrounding air bags are standard, with more features included on all models, including Electronic Stability Control, Brake Assist, and traction control. With lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring, the Santa Cruz assists the driver in avoiding collisions. Rear passenger alert and bodyside reinforcements keep everyone safe in any condition.
