2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz review // But what about the price!!

Charm of this truck is because it is a rather compact little truck. That's why it drives so nice.

Hi Andrea I loved your review of this truck. Your excitement and that you and Zack really liked it , I got excited and went for a test drive. and fell in love with the truck I finally purchased a 2023 Limited Santa Cruz in the US not a fan of the blue mine is Hampton Grey for your stats I am over 60 Loving the truck so far. Keep up the good work

I would like to mention that you can have the best of both worlds by getting the Santa Cruz with the 10" navigation display then buying the Motorola MA-1 dongle that allows you to wirelessly transmit Android Auto. My wife has a 2020 Hyundai Sonata Limited with the 10" navigation display using the Motorola MA-1 (connected to the USB Data Port in the console) and it works perfectly. Android Auto automatically appears on the radio when she starts the vehicle. Her phone sits on the wireless charging pad with no wires connected to the phone.

I saw this in-person for the first time yesterday and immediately fell in love with the design. Perfect for daily stuff and great for hiking/adventure weekends. Unfortunately it's way out of my budget, as you mentioned. It's like $50k in Canada and my limit is $25k.

Subaru had a similar truck years ago

I tested one as a potential buyer. I found that the dual clutch trans worked well but there was a one second lapse time on quick take off from a stop. No holder for glasses in the roof? The 4WD system really sucked off road. A Dual Clutch Transmission has no biz being off road. The back seat sucked for many reasons. I didn't purchase. Not a good car and not a good truck. Buy a Ridgeline instead.

Will get it when they facelift that horrendous piano black dash

I like it I like to see it in hybrid

Hi guys, will you guys do a review on the the 2023 GMC Sierra? Preferably the 2.7L engine. I'm curious of your thoughts.

When it is pouring rain that that - if you see someone working on a boat (uncommon here - maybe not much there) - do stop to mock them.

the transmission tunnel is a sore. rear floor should've been flat like the F150

It is the MULLET!!!

I'm 71 and I love this "mullet"!

I live an hour away from Santa Cruz. The beach boardwalk has burgers and fries to sit at while looking at the beach.

This truck looks like a suitable fit for Andrea's husband. Soft roader truck, not for off-road hard-on jeans.

This has become my favorite review channel. Just the right balance of opinions between you two, covering all the right topics.

Great review.

I’m comparing this against the maverick. Unfortunately, no one seems to be getting a maverick.

🇺🇸 Santa Cruz for 40 and below. MAVERICK OVER 60 BUYERS

Regular or Premium gas..... ??

Im not a big fan of that look. I was in the market for a new car and I think Maverick has this car beat. The price is too steep, whats stopping me from just getting a bigges SUV or a normal Pickup truck? IMHO Maverick’s pricing is on point and you cant beat that hybrid fuel economy. Thanks for the review!! You guys are awesome

This thing is a joke. As a 2019 Ridgeline Black Edition owner, I could regularity get below 9L/km fuel economy numbers when I drove on the highways. This "truck" is smaller than than the Ridgeline, less economical, and less utilitarian. Just buy a Honda! As an added fact, I towed a 23' travel trailer 4 to 5 times a summer and it did the task just fine.

Ok ! Question! Mrs Clause and like to fish! I have not seen any Videos of any in the Sand! There is no setting for Sand ! So I am assuming Snow will work. Why did they make such a difference between the Canadians and us ! Last is I am so sick of the whining 🤨😥😫😓 about the dang bed ! I got rid my 4 door taking up two stops Four door STX monster Truck for this. I all ready had a 8 x10 utility trailer half ton .I never used the dang Truck bed since 2013 any way. So quit crying and get a utility trailer and crying and you can haul anything you want!

We also pull an 18ft Camper .This puppy has no problem pulling it. If you want more bed space by a 7x10 utility trailer. I have had one for years! 100bucks and your good for any home products

Hi There my Stone Blue SEL Premium Santa Cruz. Tell you a few Secrets Our Fuel economy went up after our first Oil change! And a K&N filter got rid. Of the Turbo Lag Completely! Ours still draws a crowd where every we go. We got our before the dealer started over charging. It took me a while to get a tow package and 7pin hook up .Best of the Ford & Hyundai! We have a 125 Mile Warranty you can never ever get from Ford . Now Gas mileage we are getting consistently 29 City and 33 to 35 interstate highway! But I don't run 5 to 8 over the limits!

I love it. I want it. In stone blue. Gonna get it!!!

Prase God I got mine before the Price Gouging. They gave me 16k on my paid for 2019 KIA Soul turbo plus and Hyundai And 31k sticker sel Premium Santa Cruz! Now Go Brandon is causing even more Calamity!

Yes its cheaper but! The Maverick doesn't have 100k warranty or Life time Synthetic Oil changes! Maverick has 3 years 35 k warranty and only the first Oil change is free. 🖕 you ford .

I absolutely Love My Santa Cruz sel Premium. It's 2.5 Seconds faster than my Torrino GT 351 Cleveland I kind you not . I get 31mpg and 27 to 24 city . But ! I only go 5 over on highway. Hey I mean 70 mph and 5 over. How fast is enough!

ok

I’m not a Truck lover but this Hyundai Sanata Cruze is my favourite and will be the reason I will ever want to buy a Truck. What I like about is the Mini sport stylist look between SUV and Pick up combination. This is a City friendly Truck, good for family.

People stop to see what this is and fall in love. This is a woman’s vehicle. Love it 🥰

I’m 73 and I bought one and love it.

Looks awesome I'm sold 🇰🇷🇺🇲🇨🇦

I wish it had the comfort setting and the heads up display like the Santa Fe for longer drives.

It's a Tucson with a bed

No worries, No one wants to move to Vancouver...especially with dictator Trudeau as PM

Andrea has brought so much color to your channel . A car chick .... priceless .

Ho ho ho Santa Cruz 🎅 🤣

Bought the SEL base model. Better tranny and $12,000 cheaper to boot! 😉 Installed a $400 soft cover tonneau, class III $275 hitch, and blizzaks for winter and probably Destination a/t 2's for summer. Have pretty much the same safety features too.

Prices for this or Maverick aren't well priced.Try to find them for sub $40k. Throw the value out the window.

sport adventure vehicle...and yet you can still do the house work, yard work, lawn care, gardening with it..it can haul wave runners and what not...tow a riding lawnmower all that

creature comforts are all people want....i'm fine with the base model of 23K here in the usa or the mid trim level...this and the maverick are 2 totally different beasts and for 2 totally different people's needs...sanat cruz is great for driving around and still get stuff done....feel like you not driving a big hunk sheet metal around....this is for the adventure people too, fishing, camping, beach, snorkeling, hiking, kids who play sports, etc...

I still think Hyundai missed the mark by not designing this off the larger Santa Fe platform.
That would have allowed for a 5’6” bed , more legroom front and back and probably upped the payload and tow capacity.
So now, instead of competing with the Ridgeline , Ranger, Canyon group , the Santa Cruz competes with the Maverick in an , as yet, unproven small pickup market.

My wife calls my Ridgeline my Lowes pickup. The only time I use the bed is to bring more crap home from Lowes. I've found that most Ridgeline owners are older people like me. Hyundai is already the official vehicle of the retiree. The demographic for this will be much older than the Maverick.

Nice dump truck

For those who remember the Subaru Baja or Brat. I really like this model!

Just get a Ranger. A real truck. 2.3L Turbo Mustang engine.

This channel is solid. Thank you.

This thing is funky like the El Camino. This would have been a cool EV.
