Check Out These 4 Impressive Features of the Hyundai Santa Cruz Pickup 

The Santa Cruz is the first Hyundai pickup truck. It has a sleek, curvy profile and a modern style that resembles the Hyundai Tucson SUV. Four trim levels are available: SE, SEL, SEL Premium, and Limited. Here are some of the best features of the all-new 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. 

A Unique Exterior 

The 2022 Santa Cruz comes with sculpted sides, a sculpted hood, SANTA CRUZ lettering on the tailgate, and a 4.3-foot bed. You can choose from several attractive exterior colors, including Ice White, Phantom Black, Hampton Gray, Sage Gray, Blue Stone, and Mojave Sand. The angular headlights look like an extension of the metallic gray grille, and the Hyundai emblem is in the center. 

You’ll also get a smaller lower grille, big fog lights, 18-inch wheels, daytime running lights, all-season tires, and a trunk behind the rear window that also works as a cooler. A storage compartment underneath the bed floor, six cargo tie-down points, a 115-volt power outlet, side steps, a sliding bed divider, and LED bed lights are included as well. You can add 20-inch wheels, a lockable cover for the bed, heated side mirrors with turn signals, a power sunroof, and LED headlights. 

Great Performance 

The Santa Cruz’s bed is shorter than most other trucks available, making it easier to park and maneuver in traffic. The four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine generates 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. You can also choose a turbocharged version of the same engine that offers 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Both options have an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. You can choose Normal, Smart, or Sport driving modes, and an independent suspension gives you a smooth ride. 

With the standard motor, you can carry up to 1,748 pounds and tow up to 3,500 pounds. The turbocharged version can haul the same amount of weight and tow up to 5,000 pounds. 

A Luxurious, Practical Interior 

This vehicle’s interior is comfortable and high-tech. It comes with an 8-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a removable cargo bin underneath the folding rear seats. 

You can select a 10.25-inch touch screen, an eight-speaker Bose audio system with a subwoofer, push-button start, and an eight-way heated power driver’s seat with lumbar settings. You can also add dual-zone climate control, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated and ventilated leather seats, and a universal garage door opener. 

Outstanding Safety 

Advanced safety and driver assistance features can help you stay safe and make driving less stressful. You’ll get lane-keeping assistance, driver attention warning, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. You can also choose rear cross-traffic alert and collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.
