Versatile Capability & Performance on the Local Roads
Under the hood, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz offers two engine choices. There’s the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine as well as an available 2.5L turbocharged engine. Both will arm your vehicle with a strong performance and a maximum towing capacity between 3,500 pounds and 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Similar to the model’s two available engine options, you’ll also have two available transmissions. The standard 8-speed SHIFTRONIC® automatic transmission will provide seamless gear shifting. However, if you’re looking to prioritize efficiency and performance, you may want to opt for the available 8-speed Wet Dual Clutch transmission.
A True Adventure Companion: Space for Gear & Seating
While this compact truck is extremely powerful, you’ll also have a comfortable ride on the inside.
The Santa Cruz can seat up to five passengers—feel free to pack in the family, throw the gear in the 4.3-foot composite molded pickup bed, and hit the road for your next weekend adventure. Plus, you’ll have an under-seat storage bin to tap into for those smaller items!
There are also quite a few available seating amenities you can consider adding to your Santa Cruz, like:
- Leather-appointed seating surfaces
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel
- 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support
Staying Connected, On & Off the Beaten Trail
Whether you’re headed downtown or up to the mountains, the Santa Cruz will delight with its ability to keep you connected to the outside world. Using an 8-inch multimedia display, you’ll be able to integrate your mobile device with your ride via wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Send texts, make calls, or just play your favorite road trip song with these functionalities.
The Santa Cruz offers some additional available connectivity and entertainment features, including:
- Bluelink® Connected Car System
- Hyundai Digital Key
- Available Bose® Premium Audio with eight speakers and subwoofer
