I picked up one of these on 10/20. I got stuck with the Phantom Black color because it was the only Limited trim within 500 miles. So far, I absolutely love it. There’s a few little things that bother me (no electric controls on passenger seat, no presets for drivers seat, and no overhead storage for sunglasses), but overall it’s a great little truck. I feel like I’m driving a luxury vehicle when I get in, but it’s great to have that bed when I need it. The blind spot cameras with the blinkers are a game changer. The app to operate the truck is fantastic. I’d recommend anyone looking for a small truck at least give this a test drive.
In the styling department Hyundai did a good job with it. Looks futuristic like the Tucson. Nothing is going to beat out the price of the maverick. The main competitor to this. A truck that starts right at 20k is hard to beat. A true value

I saw both the Santa Cruz and the Maverick at the Miami Auto show and it was the Santa Cruz which looked better to me, although the rear seating area was a little cramped
Would love to see Hyundai make a mid/fullsize pickup in the future with the some of the same features the Santa Cruz offers. 6ft bed with cover and ice chest built in.
I love the design. But I’m pretty sure this truck would flop in our market. For that price you can get a Ranger, Hilux, Frontier, Dmax, etc fully loaded, with 4L low gear, locking differential, better ground clearance, and higher towing capacity.
I like the Santa Cruz and hope it does well. I did order a Maverick Hybrid because it suits my needs, is more affordable, no fuss, practical, economical and looks more like a truck. I hope they both do well so other mfg are compelled to compete in this new compact truck segment. Thanks for the review
I am looking forward in being a santa cruz owner planning on getting a night edition my mother and stepdad have owned two hyundai cars and love the look of the cruz
Winter performance with that DCT will be the big test that will determine If I go turbo or NA with the Santa Cruz I wanna buy. Will the DCT transmission overheat in the sloppy stuff is what I want to see.
The Maverick is going to outsell the Santa Cruz 5 to 1. It just is. There are that many Ford people. The Maverick is cheap and "good enough". Technically I still have one on order. But..., I'm going with the Santa Cruz.
Wow thankyou soo much Raiti's this is the first car review item i see from you about this brand new korean pick-up from Hyundai thankyou men your great!!👌🙏
The 20in wheels suck. The 18s are better so you can put Beefer tires. It has Paddle Shifters and Select shift to hand shift. The Kooler is the best. We use it all the time. His time is way off 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds. Took 3 passes at Dinwiddie Drag Strip. Mine has the NOBS
Yeah i agree with u on hyundai design lately. new sonata is beautiful, palisade is awesome i just wish there was a XL/extended length version like a Suburban. This truck looks pretty good but i wish it was more avalanche/escalade ext style.
I don't know... it's "new" and anything brought to market does well in the beginning. But... I just don't see this vehicle gaining any traction. It's really good in concept... but Subaru basically beat them to it years ago. (And look where that ended-up.) It's a niche market in my opinion. This isn't a bad vehicle, but it just can't compete with the more dedicated trucks. Also - can't stand the touch screens. Terrible design. It's trendy. It's new... Let's check back in a few years to see if it goes anywhere.
I don't like the trays under the back seats. And no armrest for the back. I do like the cover for the bed. And the trunk. Ridgeline seems to be a better vehicle in comparison.
Thanks for the great review. I think id choose SEL if i was gonna buy one of these. For my money id probably just go with Taco/Frontier though. Appreciate your videos, keep it up!
Fantastic review as usual. But how come no physical button for an HVAC? This is supposed to be truckish SUV, right? That’s why sales of Honda Ridgeline will always trail behind GMCs Ford’s and Chevy’s trucks. Who wants to drive a “girlish” looking truck? Not a lot of folks that’s for sure. Hyundai is notorious for digital cockpits and this is a huge problem. Can you imagine drive 65 mph on highway and trying to locate temperature on that display? American made brands even with less power look a lot more appealing than this Korean “digital” trans beauty.
Joe and Lori ( LORI thanks for all you do production-wise etc!!) This COMPACT truck is COOL! I can totally dig it and I agree with all you said. I have a brother-in-law interested in a small truck Ii will show him this video! See you guys on another ride!!
40k is a zonk for the lack of passenger lumbar support that’s ranging in most top of line vehicles including coming close to the Genesis g70 /gv70 price

@blair brown Awwwww, I really miss the El Camino and the Subaru Brat. I miss the vehicles that had sharp lines to the body, when cars and trucks were so distinctive that you actually knew who the maker was.
Hyundai is doing the little things better. I've been looking at both a SEL Premium SC ($38K) and a XLT Maverick ($32K) and there are just too many areas in the Maverick where I have to "deal with it". No push button start, you have to use your key. I know, first world problems. The Ford's bed situation is a mess. Can't get the spray-in bed liner right now. The SC has a much nicer bed. The ride quality in the Ford is much worse. Is the SC worth $6000 more? I think it is...
Maverick is very plastic inside, it's also alot less features & zero option for sunroof. You get more bang for your buck with santa cruz. Even at 41 and change
All I can say is wow that vehicle got me on the front end design alone so many vehicles I have to check out really don't make this easy but thanks for all the info that you give us on all these test rides 👍👍
Its nice. I like some thinks about this truck over the Maverick, and i like some things about the Maverick more over this truck. If i really had to choose without actually sitting in either one i would choose the Maverick.
I was wondering if you new if the American Santa Cruz options will ever eventually have the same drive options as the Canadian version as it has sand and dirt modes
I have to say Hyundai has upped their game. This is a really cool vehicle. Great review as always Joe. Love the Easter Eggs. Here's an Easter Egg for you, at about 7 minutes we get Lori sighting. She's reflected in the tailgate. Love the channel, you two rock.
The SC interior alone is miles ahead of the Mav. Plus the in bed trunk, more towing, side view cameras, bed cover, better warranty, made in the US and so much better looking. If you check all the boxes the Mav gets within $4k of a SC Limited. With that said the Mav is going to own the low end of market with its hybrid power and cheap entry price.
Hyundai did a great job on this new midsize truck thought wasn't going to like it, looks good on the outside and nicer inside. I really like Hyundai vehicles the new Santa Cruz great truck glad found the video though had busy evening still looked a vehicle like on the list.
I would love to see this in a stick shift and knobs on the dash. I would like to have a pass thru from the back seat to the bed of the truck, and I would remove the back seat and make it a cargo hold.
I think Hyundai nailed it. It's sporty looking, handles well, has a pretty peppy engine. Not to mention a bed. For city dwellers, this might be the perfect vehicle!
@@richsweeney1115 It might not be able to haul to tow as much as a "Real Truck", but I'd bet anyone buying one doesn't want or need it to. They should have just called it a Ute. Whatever it is, I think it's great.

@@user-yh5kz the ridge line and Tacoma are both midsize and for this to be 40k is insane. I would never pay 40k for a Hyundai pickup and plus it’s a compact too. Insanity

The Ridgeline is in the midsize truck segment. The SantaCruz will fall under compact truck along with the Ford Maverick

I didn’t hear you say maybe I missed it ? does the back bed cover lock ???
I wish you could get it in something besides boring pastel colors.
IM BUYING MAVERIC BECAUSE ITS THE PRICE OF A COMPACT CAR WITH THE FUNCTIONALITY OF A BASE TRUCK.....I DONT NEED A TRUCK BUT IF IT IS A BONUS WHY NOT
Carmakers that opt to go for all touch controls in the center stack, because they think it’s more premium, continue to baffle me. VW is another offender. And it is never better. It’s tedious and dangerous while driving.
surprisingly very little to no zonks in this one... did Hyundai pay Raiti extra to go easy on the Santa Cruz? hmm...
Seats 💺 look awesome 👌
OK Joe, time for the Maverick review.
