Hyundai's Santa Cruz is a compact pickup that combines robust performance, car-like handling, and amazing practicality into one stylish package. The truck also has a beautiful cabin and a long list of creature comforts. Here's your quick guide to the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz at your local Hyundai dealer! Power and Performance In its SE and SEL trims, the Santa Cruz gets a 2.5L inline-4 engine that pairs with an 8-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission and develops 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. Other trims are powered by a turbocharged version of the engine, generating a hefty 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Instead of the standard transmission, turbo models distribute power through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. more Every Santa Cruz offers Hyundai's intelligent HTRAC all-wheel drive system, which maximizes traction by varying torque between the front and rear axles and making minute braking adjustments. Consisting of front MacPherson struts and a multi-link rear setup, the truck's fully independent suspension provides excellent stability and a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. Towing and Hauling The Santa Cruz can tow up to 3,500 pounds when it's equipped with the standard engine, but that figure goes to 5,000 pounds on turbocharged models. Up to 1,411 pounds of payload can be carried by the truck's box, which has been reinforced with high-strength steel. In addition to featuring heavy-duty D-rings and a multi-function tailgate, the box has sidewall compartments and a lockable compartment hidden in the floor. Buyers may add a 115-volt power outlet and a dual C-channel utility track rail and cleat system. Passenger Cabin Step into the Santa Cruz and you'll find a sleek, ultra-modern interior with plenty of standard and available amenities. The dashboard has a unique stepped design and clean lines that elegantly flow into the door panels. A 4.2- or 10.25-inch digital instrument panel allows you to view a wealth of vehicle information. Passenger space includes close to 40 inches of headroom and 41.4 inches of front legroom. SE models come standard with 60/40 split tip-up rear seats and premium cloth upholstery that's resistant to stains and odors. Dual-zone automatic climate control heated front seats, and an 8-way power driver's seat are standard on most trims. Infotainment While the SE sports an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, other trims offer a 10.25-inch display with support for connected navigation. HD Radio, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration, and Bluetooth hands-free technology with audio streaming are standard on all models.
