Why it stands out

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz stands out because Hyundai approached it as something different from a conventional pickup. It is described as the first truly compact pickup to be sold in the U.S. in over a decade, and it uses car-like unibody construction rather than the body-on-frame layout associated with traditional trucks. Hyundai also does not even call it a pickup, preferring the term “sport adventure vehicle,” which captures how deliberately it sits between a truck and a crossover.

That positioning gives the Santa Cruz broad appeal, especially for buyers who want something more rugged than a sedan or crossover SUV without moving to a full-size truck. The trade-off is that this packaging sacrifices some capability, so it is not aimed at competing directly with conventional pickups. Even so, its easier-to-park size and distinctive concept make it a compelling choice for shoppers who value versatility and a fresh take on the segment.

Owners’ feedback reinforces that appeal, with praise for the unique design, versatile features, comfortable interior, smooth driving experience, and impressive fuel economy. At the same time, some reviewers were disappointed by the towing capacity and felt the price was higher than expected, which is worth keeping in mind for buyers drawn to the Santa Cruz’s originality.
