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.

How much does the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $24,793 |
| Year-Round Low | $24,793 |
| Year-Round High | $26,306 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $26,307 |

Prices have softened 5.76% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 1,736 listings available, which suggests you have a decent amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz a good car?
Yes — the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz earns a 4.88/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its smooth ride, modern technology, and spacious interior, and they also like the way it blends utility with comfort. The main tradeoffs mentioned are concerns about electronic-feature durability and limited payload capacity. With 35.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a fair number of attractive options to shop.
Is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz reliable?
Owners rate it 4.88/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also points to a dependable-feeling ownership experience, with praise for its smooth ride and overall comfort over time. That said, some shoppers should pay close attention to the durability of certain electronic features before buying. For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is ending up with a truck that looks appealing on paper but needs extra attention to its tech and condition history.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report and confirm the truck has no accident or title issues. Then prioritize a thorough inspection of the electronic features, since owners have raised durability concerns in that area. It also makes sense to evaluate the bed and payload-related condition carefully so you know the truck still fits your needs.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,736 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.76% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 88.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,793, 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 $24,793 sits slightly below last year's $26,307.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable entry point, but it also suggests resale values may be under some pressure compared with last year. If you plan to sell later, buying well matters more, because a lower purchase price gives you more room to preserve value. Strong owner satisfaction can still help support demand when it is time to resell.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.88/5, 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:
- 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.76% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $22,695, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $24,793 average.
- It offers a distinctive, car-like compact pickup feel.
Consider the 2024 if:
- At $26,817, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $24,793 average.
- It adds a few new touches while keeping the same quirky, utility-focused formula.
The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around starting point if you want a strong mix of owner satisfaction, inventory choice, and softer pricing. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value play; if you want the newest version and can spend more, the 2024 is the natural upgrade path.
