2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT - What's NEW For 2024?

In this video, I review the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT AWD... This truck was a lot better than I was expecting. It was comfortable, capable, and quick as well.. If you're in need of a truck bed every now and then, but don't want the feeling of driving a big truck around - you may want to look into the Santa Cruz...

Recently bought a 2023 XRT 2.5T sight unseen and shipped it to my mother who lives on a farm. It’s perfect for a senior citizen who no longer needs a full-size pickup, but still needs a truck bed to carry things like jerry cans of fuel and other stuff you would not want inside the cab. I got to finally drive it and gotta say it’s small but otherwise comfortable with decent performance and utility.

This was the best indepth review on the Santa Cruz I have seen so far. i've watched about 8 videos on this vehicle and this was the best by far explaining details the features of this model. No other video even showed or touched on the towing hitch or pin option. Awesome job sir.

Nice review. Good luck dude. I already bought it and pick it up in a few hours, but your video was pretty thorough. Idk if reviews is your gig but nice job!

I have this truck. Love it!,I drove my granddaughters and fell in love with it, i traded in my Honda exl crv for my xrt 24.

This 'truck' is in its own lane. I love it. There's some people turned off by this but I think it's really cool. I don't want a Ford Maverick... it's lame as hell otherwise I may as well buy a full truck. The SUV-truck'ish design of this is an industry game changer. my only gripe with this vehicle is that it eats gas like crazy on every trim level especially the turbo ones. Hyundai needs to release a hybrid version.

@JonGates 7 ай бұрын

💯 Agree. Even in Eco mode, it's such bad gas mileage in the city.

I have the 22 model loaded. I keep hearing about the transmission. It does have an excellent warranty. I will say starting off in first with the turbo feels laggy. I’m missing the plastic cubby cover on the left. Bought it used @8000 miles

If you want a fleet looking truck go for the Maverick. If you want a lifestyle Sports Adventure Truck go with the Santa Cruz.

Good way to put it

@Snake-ms7sj 7 ай бұрын

Each has it's positives and negatives. Maverick has a more useful bed and gets better gas mileage. The SC has a more upscale interior and has a more custom look. I test drove a SC SEL AWD (non-turbo) and a Maverick XLT eco boost AWD and ended up buying the Maverick.

We have a '23 SE w/Adventure package. It has many of the "goodies" shown here, (including WIRELESS Android Auto and it's a PAIN) but not the turbo w/ its potentially problematic DCT. We like it quite a bit, it fits our use case nicely. Maverick probably would have too. But, it was basically not available at time of purchase, and it's not nearly as aesthically appealing.

Yeah I have researching on trucks and so far I really I am sold on the Santa Cruz. Though I have a question on the tires can you opt for bigger tires?

@703Speed 7 ай бұрын

Not from factory - no

@Snake-ms7sj 7 ай бұрын

Why would you want to? Bigger tires = worse gas mileage.

@JonGates 7 ай бұрын

Standard is 18. You can go from 17 to 20's aftermarket.

@norsefalconer 5 ай бұрын

The Santa Cruz forum can best answer that question. But, depending on what you want for tires, you may need to add wheel spacers or a lift (a number of aftermarket options available, w/KZfaq info on most).

@@703SpeedOur '23 SE with the Andventure Package has wireless Android Auto. I don't think it has Apple Carplay, but I don't need it, so I never tried to find out. Btw, I HATE the Andriod Auto system. The other day, I was in the yard on the phone when my wife pulled in the driveway, and Android Auto transferred the call to the car! Truly, the Infotainment System is the biggest fail on this Cruck. It's like the design group had a meeting to figure out how to make owners the most frustrated and angry. It's BAD! And that's coming from someone that also owns a '16 Mazda CX-9. The SC's Infotainment UI is far from intuitive, and in my experience inconsistent (you never know what screen you'll get with the "Media" and/or "Home" buttons). Btw, the "Home" button isn't always available on screen, and more or less forced programing the "Star" button as the "Home" button. If I could swap it for a good 'ol single DIN Jensen, it'd already been done.
