I ended up purchasing a ’24 Santa Cruz SEL AWD with the Activity package. It includes all of the safety features, as well as many convenience features for navigation and music entertainment. The sunroof and bed trunk (brunk) are absolutely necessary features for me. Yes, I love my new trucklet. It suits my needs very well.

The car is very nice and the features are first class. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5, was when I got the car home it had 2 deep stone chips on the lefthand side. However , Ed Napleton said they would take care of the issue. When it’s resolved I will grade it 5 stars.

overall
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is the perfect sport truck for ultra-light-duty tasks.
Based on the Hyundai Tucson compact crossover SUV, the Santa Cruz is not about towing the most weight, carrying the largest and heaviest loads, or driving to off-the-grid locations. Instead, it’s perfect for weekend do-it-yourself projects, hauling bulky items home from the big-box store, and carrying adventure gear on day trips. The 2025 Santa Cruz is better at these tasks than ever, thanks to new tech, styling updates, and off-roading enhancements.
Verdict: We realize the Santa Cruz’s styling isn’t broadly appealing, so if this Hyundai trucklet’s appearance is just too hard to accept, its direct rival, the Ford Maverick, might be more to your liking. If you like the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz, consider getting a turbocharged version. It’s not as fuel-efficient, but it’s a ton more fun to drive.
