The Santa Cruz has redefined drivers’ experience behind the wheel, combining the cabin comfort of an SUV with the rugged capabilities of a truck. 2022 models are sure to turn heads, engineered for exploring with some great new features. Read on to learn more about this unique “Sport Adventure Vehicle”, then stop by Keith Hawthorne Hyundai of Gastonia to check out our incredible inventory!
The Power of a Pickup – Without the Traditional Truck Design
When the rubber meets the road, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz is undoubtedly a pickup truck. Its smaller dimensions and unibody construction don’t support the heavy-duty towing capacity of full-size models, but the Santa Cruz is still a pickup through and through. The Honda Ridgeline is one similarly constructed model, but when it comes to styling, no competitor rivals the Santa Cruz’s distinctive design.
In fact, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is considered a leader in the compact truck category – one that offers drivers an affordable alternative to mid-size and full-size trucks. Its shorter bed is still highly functional, but the Santa Cruz’s smaller size offers easy maneuverability and agile handling more akin to a Hyundai crossover.
Hidden Storage
To compensate for its shorter bed, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe includes hidden storage compartments throughout the cabin. For instance, the seat bottoms flip up to reveal a storage bin – perfect for stowing items out of sight. There’s also an in-bed trunk with a drain, allowing you to use it as a cooler!
Compliant Ride
Boasting the comfy, smooth ride of an SUV, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz handles well, even on bumpier terrain. This fun-to-drive vehicle is also easy to park in tight spaces or maneuver in traffic! Drivers’ experience behind the wheel will feel reminiscent of the Santa Fe, Palisade or Tucson, with weighted steering and a much quieter cabin than a traditional truck’s.
