SEL Crew Cab FWD

Overview
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz is one of the new class of subcompact pickups. What these small trucks lack in size and brute power, they make up for in efficiency, economy, and nimble driving dynamics. The Santa Cruz provides a standard four-door layout and a four-foot bed. It makes the most of this space with a lockable, rolling tonneau cover, a lockable in-bed trunk, a wall-style in-bed power outlet, and LED in-bed lighting. For 2023, the Santa Cruz gains a new Night trim, as well as additional standard safety features.
Trims for the 2023 Santa Cruz are SE, SEL, Night, SEL Premium, and Limited. Standard features on the SE include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a multi-function (assisted open/close) tailgate, integrated rear bumper side steps, cloth upholstery, a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Moving up to the SEL adds SiriusXM satellite radio, heated side mirrors with integrated turn-signal indicators, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, auto up/down front power windows, remote start, and push-button start.
The Night Edition adds dark touches inside and out, as well as wireless device charging, a fully digital instrument panel, LED interior lighting, LED in-bed lighting, and wireless device charging.
Selecting the SEL Premium upgrades the infotainment system to a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen and adds navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and additional driver-assistance features.
The range-topping Limited includes leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a Bose premium audio system, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a 64-color ambient cabin lighting system.
The base engine in the Santa Cruz is a 2.5-liter inline-four that makes 191 horsepower. An upgraded turbocharged four-cylinder engine puts out 281 horsepower. Both engines route power through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base engine can be had with front-wheel drive (FWD) or available all-wheel drive (AWD). The turbocharged engine routes power through standard AWD.
The Santa Cruz with the 2.5-liter engine and FWD returns 22 mpg city, 26 highway, and 23 combined. The least-efficient configuration of the Santa Cruz is the turbocharged AWD version, which returns 19 mpg city, 27 highway, and 22 combined.
Standard driver-assistance features for the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, and driver-attention monitoring. The truck also comes standard with Hyundai’s helpful Safe Exit Assist, which uses sensors to determine if there is oncoming traffic and will alert the driver or occupant before exiting the vehicle.
Base MSRP for the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz is $25,450 for a FWD truck in the SE trim. SEL trim with FWD starts at $27,790. Night Trim starts at $35,810 and the SEL Premium starts at $37,350, while the range-topping Limited trim starts at $40,320. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is backed by a generous 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

would be a 5/5 but Im skeptical of the electronic thermostats lifespan and I would have preferred to be able to swap the bed extender for the bed mat.

It also helps to evaluate overall condition closely, especially if you plan to use the truck for regular utility work.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed, but the best listings still deserve quick attention.
- Deal availability: 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,712 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.07% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 86.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,578, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz's resale value?
The current average of $24,578 sits slightly below last year's $25,891.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you buy well now and keep the truck in strong condition, you can help protect your value later. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.07% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $22,083, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $24,578 average.
- It introduced Hyundai’s first U.S. pickup with a car-like, utility-focused formula.
Consider the 2024 if:
- At $26,403, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $24,578 average.
- It adds a few updates while keeping the same quirky, utility-first character.
The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around choice if you want a strong mix of value, owner satisfaction, and available inventory. If your priority is spending less, the 2022 is the better budget path; if you want the newest version and can pay more, the 2024 is the alternative to consider.
