Hyundai Santa Cruz
Model Overview
The Santa Cruz is Hyundai’s first-ever pickup truck model for the North American market. This trendsetting vehicle has helped reintroduce compact pickups to a marketplace long dominated by full-size models. While it boasts modest payload and tow ratings, the Santa Cruz is still capable and practical enough to suit the needs of most pickup drivers most of the time. Among its cooler features is a weatherproof trunk under the cargo bed.
