What Is The New Hyundai Santa Cruz?
It's a Sport Adventure
Vehicle. But what does that mean, exactly?
A sport adventure vehicle combines
the best features for those who choose to do more than just the bare minimum
with their daily lives. It's the perfect vehicle for the type of owner living
in the city who likes to head to the beach on weekends or even in the morning
for some cool wave riding before heading off to work. With the new Hyundai
Santa Cruz, you can go all-in on your next adventure now that you have the
perfect vehicle to do so in.
The new Santa Cruz is the first
four-door pickup truck from Hyundai to be offered for sale in North America.
Based on a platform that it shares with the Hyundai Tucson, it includes similar
front-end styling, the signature daylight running lights behind the grille and
more.
A raked-back windshield is
one of the signature looks you will see on the Santa Cruz. It rides on big
20-inch alloy wheels surrounded by impressive wheel arches. The rest of the
Santa Cruz includes fresh styling throughout, like buttressed C-pillars that
strengthen the visual utility of an SUV with the opened-back capability of a
compact pickup truck.
The bed in this unibody-designed
adventure vehicle combines the best of both worlds. The new Santa Cruz's lined
bed is useful for carrying oddly-shaped items in the bed with the ability to
secure them with a lockable tonneau cover. This feature is an important feature
for urban/city-dwelling customers.
The overall length is just
right: It can fit in your average garage and can comfortably accommodate five
passengers. Behind you is a lined 4.5-foot cargo bed that is good for over
1,700 pounds of payload.
