Interior Review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Inside the Santa Cruz, there is ample headroom and legroom in the front, along with a driver's seat that offers various adjustments. The rear seats are ideal for children and small adults.

The cabin features a modern aesthetic, characterized by a large central touchscreen and a fully digital gauge cluster positioned in front of the driver.

The size of the Santa Cruz's bed is comparable to the Ford Maverick's. The tailgate can be adjusted to align with the height of the wheel wells. There's also an in-bed trunk with a drain, perfect for storing wet or muddy items or ice for tailgating.

The cupholders and center console storage resemble those found in a compact SUV. The anchors for securing child seats in the back are easily accessible, making this vehicle ideal for families with small children.

Exterior Review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

When it comes to exterior design, the Santa Cruz has a curved and intricate profile. The more conventional trucks feature a bold and rugged aesthetic, which may not appeal to everyone. Instead, the Santa Cruz features a more streamlined appearance, making it ideal for families seeking an SUV-like vehicle.

Santa Cruz models ride on 18-inch wheels, except the higher trims, which come with 20-inch wheels. Standard exterior features include projector bi-LED headlights, daytime running lights, LED taillights, shark fin roof antenna, and body-color side mirrors.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz is available in the following color options:

  • Rockwood Green
  • Atlas White
  • Blue Stone
  • Phantom Black
  • Canyon Red
  • Hampton Gray

Power and Performance of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz offers two different powertrain options, with the engine type determined by the selected trim. The SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The XRT and Limited trims are equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, providing significantly improved performance for city driving. This engine is paired with an 8-speed dual clutch transmission. All trims are available with all-wheel drive, which is standard for the turbo engine.

The Santa Cruz is smaller in size and lower in height than larger models in the midsize truck market and is thus easier to maneuver in the city. The top-tier Limited version offers a smooth ride and nimble handling.

With the standard 4-cylinder engine, the Santa Cruz has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. When equipped with the optional turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, its towing capability reaches the same level as the other unibody trucks in this segment, which have a maximum towing limit of 5,000 pounds.
