Benefits Of a Hyundai Pickup Truck

Pickup trucks are popular due to two key strengths: their capability to handle any terrain and haul heavy loads. If you are searching for a pickup truck but worry about the size or cost of the more popular models, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is an excellent choice. It is a compact pickup truck based on Hyundai's Tucson. Its four-foot truck bed can haul bulky items like mountain bikes or mulch for your flower beds.

Do you need more reasons to buy a Hyundai pickup truck? Here are some advantages of the Santa Cruz:

Unique Design

The Santa Cruz has a pickup-based SUV design. Hyundai took an SUV and scooped out a chunk of its roof to make it look like a truck. With this vehicle, you get the utility of a pickup with an SUV's familiar shape and feel. The Santa Cruz stands out with its funky design.

Practicality

The Hyundai Santa Cruz features a truck bed with 27 cubic feet of space. It is 52.1 inches long and 53.9 inches wide, and you can adjust the tailgate's height to match the wheel. You can transport wide and long items such as 4x8 plywood sheets. There's also an in-bed trunk with a built-in drain that's convenient for storing wet or muddy gear.

The vehicle can carry a lot of weight, up to 1,411 pounds. You can also install roof side rails that can carry up to 220 pounds.

Built for Adventures

Hyundai Santa Cruz is a versatile off-roader designed to tackle challenging terrain. Even better off-road performance is possible with the Santa Cruz if you opt for the HTRAC AWD. In AWD, power is dynamically distributed between the front and rear wheels to optimize performance. The Santa Cruz drivetrain will keep you confident and composed no matter how slippery or sandy the trail is.

With a ground clearance of 8.6 inches, you can navigate uneven terrain without being restricted by rocks, roots, or bumps. You can also enjoy enhanced traction with Santa Cruz's 18-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tires. As a result, you can expect this pickup truck to deliver optimum performance on sandy dunes, muddy paths, and rocky landscapes.

Ample Hauling and Towing Capacity

With a base engine and four-wheel-drive configuration, the Hyundai Santa Cruz can tow 3,500 pounds. Meanwhile, a Santa Cruz equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive has an impressive capacity for hauling up to 5,000 pounds.

Plenty of Safety Features

No matter where you drive, staying safe is essential. The Santa Cruz features SmartSense™ technology, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking, and rear child safety locks. It also comes equipped with driver assistance, parking guidance, and collision prevention features. This is a safe and well-equipped truck regardless of its model year.

Drive In Style and Comfort.

The Santa Cruz has one of the most comfortable cabins among compact and midsize pickups. You’ll get plenty of legroom and headroom in its cabin and a highly adjustable driver's seat. This is the first truck in its class with a fully digital gauge cluster. Drivers will appreciate the shifter in the center console instead of rotary knobs or pushbuttons.

Lots of Useful Tech

Depending on your trim model, the Santa Cruz comes standard with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. In addition to wireless device charging, Android Auto™, and Apple CarPlay®, Hyundai provides a free three-year Bluelink® service. With Bluelink®, users can remotely control their Santa Cruz via an app, the Internet, or Amazon Alexa.
