Hyundai Santa Cruz Boasts Sport Adventure Features That Are Sure to Impress

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz is a unique sports vehicle that's built for adventure. A cross between an SUV and a truck, the Santa Cruz comes with several great safety, technology, design, and performance features that are second to none. Here's a look at all it has to offer drivers in Erie.

Performance

The Santa Cruz comes with two available powertrains, and the engine choice depends on the trim style. The SE and SEL trims can accommodate an engine that produces 191 horsepower with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Night, XRT, and Limited trims are equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine that produces 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Every trim level, aside from the SE, can come equipped with all-wheel drive.

Pricing and Recommendations
Pricing for the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz starts at $29,895 and climbs up to $43,895, offering a range of options to suit different budgets and preferences. Among these, the XRT trim stands out as a recommended choice. While it represents a significant increase in MSRP over the SE and SEL, the enhancements justify the cost. The more powerful turbocharged engine is a must-have for those who prioritize acceleration and performance. Additionally, the XRT's engine boosts the tow rating to an impressive 5,000 pounds, making it ideal for hauling.

Aesthetic and Features
The XRT trim comes standard with all-wheel drive, a feature that's a costly option on the SEL. It also features rugged-looking equipment and dark chrome trim, adding to its aesthetic appeal. These enhancements not only improve functionality but also elevate the overall style, making the XRT a well-rounded choice for those seeking both utility and flair.

Interior Features

The inside of the cabin is equipped with various comfort and convenience features that are impressive for a mid-size pickup. The Santa Cruz is the first truck in its class to include a digital gauge cluster. It also has a traditional shifter in the center rather than a knob or buttons.

The amount of space available for passengers is comparable to similarly sized trucks. The cargo bed space is short but very versatile and comes with a lockable tonneau cover.

Technology Features

The SE and SEL trims include the standard eight-inch touchscreen infotainment display. The SEL and other trims can be configured with a bigger 10.3-inch screen. The Santa Cruz also includes some digital features like wireless charging, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay, plus Hyundai's Blue Link service. The Blue Link service comes free for three years and allows vehicle owners to communicate with their vehicle remotely by locking and unlocking it, starting the engine, and more. The Limited trim even comes with a Bose audio setup for optimal sound quality.

Exterior Features

The exterior of this vehicle is unique and provides a style that is the perfect mix of an SUV and an open-bed truck. It even adapts to your needs by providing various helpful features like underfloor storage that doubles as a cooler. The underfloor storage compartment also comes equipped with a drain, the option to add a 115-volt outlet and a tonneau cover that can be locked.

Safety Features

The Santa Cruz includes a variety of safety and driver-assistance features that keep Edinboro drivers as safe as possible on the road. It includes driver-attention warnings standard and an optional adaptive cruise control add-on. Other key safety features that come standard include lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, and forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking.
