2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. Ford Maverick:
In Compact Pickups, Maverick Doesn't Quite Measure Up
2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. 2023 Ford Maverick: Which Truck Wins Out in Erie, PA?
Compact pickup trucks are handy to have because they can carry a lot of cargo, yet they're a breeze to maneuver through narrow streets in Erie, PA. Unlike most pickups, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz has a plush ride and an upscale interior. It's also jam-packed with enjoyable tech features. The 2023 Ford Maverick also has a roomy cab and composed handling, but it can't match the overall excellence of the Santa Cruz. Dave Hallman Hyundai has put forth the following comparison to help you see for yourself which truck is better.
Performance
Both the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz and the 2023 Ford Maverick come standard with a 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine. However, the Santa Cruz offers an available turbocharged 281-horsepower four-cylinder engine that gives it punchier acceleration for your commute in Fairview. The Ford Maverick's optional engine only generates 250 horsepower.
It's easier to pull a boat to Edinboro Lake with the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The 2023 Ford Maverick has a maximum towing capacity of 4,000 pounds.
If you often haul lumber or boxes in your truck, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz has the edge. It can carry a payload of up to 1,753 pounds. The 2023 Ford Maverick can haul a max payload of just 1,500 pounds.
Interior and Storage
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz has a handsome, tasteful cab with high-quality materials. Higher trims come with leather upholstery and a Bose audio system. The 2023 Ford Maverick has a practical interior layout with fresh styling, but there are too many hard plastic trim pieces.
Both trucks hold five passengers, and they both have ample space to stretch out in their front seats. However, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz has better-cushioned seats than the Maverick. Taller passengers in North East will appreciate that the Santa Cruz has 36.5 inches of backseat legroom. The Maverick only has 35.9 inches of second-row legroom.
The 2023 Ford Maverick has a slightly larger cargo bed (4 foot, six inches compared to 4 foot even). However, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz has a rolling and lockable tonneau cover to protect your items. McKean drivers will like the Santa Cruz's lockable in-bed trunk, which can double as a cooler. The Maverick doesn't have a tonneau cover or an in-bed trunk.
Technology and Safety
You'll breathe easier about your safety in the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, which comes standard with 12 driver assistance features that help people in Erie avoid hazards on the road. The 2023 Ford Maverick only comes with four standard advanced active safety features.
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz's infotainment system is a cinch to operate, with voice recognition capability that lets Fairview drivers control it without removing their hands from the steering wheel. It comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen, but a 10.25-inch screen is available. The 2023 Ford Maverick only offers an 8-inch touchscreen and voice recognition is not available.
