The Hyundai Santa Cruz is all in on adventure. With its robust powertrain and stable drivetrain, this pickup is ready to push the limits on your next journey. From the mountains to the sea, the Santa Cruz is prepared to seize the day.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz can be what you want it to be. With 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, its 2.5L Turbo engine is ready for anything, whether you need a comfortable daily driver or a souped-up trail rider. An 8-speed Dual Clutch transmission harnesses all that power. With SHIFTRONIC® Manual Mode, you can take control when the moment demands it—or you crave it.
HTRAC® All Wheel Drive with multi-terrain control mode also comes standard, so you can choose the setting that best matches weather or terrain conditions as you encounter them:
- Mud mode
- Sand mode
- Snow mode
The Santa Cruz has what it takes to be the dust-kicking, mud-splashing, trail-conquering pickup it’s destined to be.
So, what kind of results does this truck’s powertrain yield? The answer may surprise you. The Santa Cruz can tow up to 2,268 kilograms (5,000 pounds) with the proper equipment! Does that get your gears turning on how you can elevate your next friends’ trip to the lake or family vacation? All these towable toys are on the table:
- A small, hard-sided RV
- A small recreational boat
- A couple of jet skis
- A lightweight travel trailer
- A pop-up camper
If your idea of adventure takes you to local off-road trails or faraway Mother Nature retreats, you’ll need endurance on your side. The Santa Cruz comes in clutch again with its 12.4 city/8.5 highway L/100 km rating!*
The Hyundai Santa Cruz provides the best of what SUVs offer, with the versatility and convenience of a truck bed! With truck-bed utility on your side, you can easily tackle home improvement projects or pack up for a weeklong camping trip.

What you pack changes with every adventure, making the Santa Cruz’s bed versatility even more important. It helps you conquer many adventures on your bucket list (yes, even that one you’re thinking of right now) with the following features:
- Under Bed Storage: This lockable compartment is great for smaller gear. It’s also drainable, letting you keep your cooler at home and use this bin as a mobile ice chest.
- Molded Composite Bed Features: When you lower the tailgate, you may notice some molded-in shapes. These help customize and expand the bed with accessories to carry all you need.
- Integrated Tonneau Cover: This feature rolls out of a hidden canister to cover and protect your gear. It’s lockable, too, so everything will remain secure.
Packing before the big trip just got easier!
The Hyundai Santa Cruz continues to add convenience to your drives with its high-tech cockpit. Hyundai doubles down with Hyundai SmartSense™, Santa Cruz's standard, multi-feature safety suite! Pair infotainment with driver assistance, and you'll be in for a memorable experience.
The Santa Cruz has two sizable displays. The first is 12.3-inch instrument panel behind the steering wheel that helps you keep a pulse on this pickup.
In the centre of the dash, you’ll find a 12.3-inch touchscreen that serves as your entertainment hub! Yep, you read that right. Grand views are standard across all trim levels; however, you gain a built-in navigation system in the higher tiers. The infotainment system pairs with several integrations, including:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
- Bluetooth® hands-free phone system
- HD Radio™ and Sirius XM Satellite Radio
- Bluelink® connected vehicle system
Simply pair your phone to the suite, and you can play your favourite album, tune in to a new podcast, or chip away at your book club’s current read.
Hyundai SmartSense™ is the Santa Cruz’s standard driver-assistance suite, and it’s made up of several helpful features, including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian & Cyclist Detection
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist/Lane Following Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
- And more
While those features assist as you drive, Safe Exit Warning and Rear Occupant Alert will kick in once you reach your destination. The first feature monitors the flanks of your vehicle for oncoming traffic, ensuring safe exiting. The second feature alerts you of anything or anyone in the rear seats, making sure nothing or no one gets left behind.
