We never really know what surprises that Hyundai has in store for us, but the reveal of the Hyundai Santa Cruz was something that really gave us everything we never knew we needed. This is a Sport Adventure Vehicle, which breaks new ground by managing to live within the crossover, truck, and SUV segments. You will never find another vehicle as flexible in every single regard than the Santa Cruz, especially if you want to have a sophisticated design, matched with efficient powertrain options and an open bed for all of your additional needs. Hyundai has really knocked it out of the park here, which is why we are going to be looking at everything that the 2022 Santa Cruz can offer you. There's nothing more important than staying informed!
What engines come with the Santa Cruz?
The very first thing we want to let you know more about is what you will be able to get underneath the hood. If you want a vehicle that really can withstand all of your sporty needs, power is a necessity. The standard powertrain here is a 2.5-liter direct-injected four-cylinder, which can output as much as 180 pound-feet of torque and 190 horsepower. Paired with this engine is an eight-speed automatic transmission. You can also get a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine that bumps up the power to 310 pound-feet of torque and 275 horsepower. Another major perk is the all-wheel drive system, ensuring that you have a vehicle that is ready for anything at all times.
What about the design of the Santa Cruz?
Even though we all understand how important power is, you also want a vehicle that simply just looks good. That's why we want to discuss some of the design aspects of this machine that help make it so flexible, roomy, and alluring, all in one. The forward view of this vehicle gives you a hidden lightning signature that is visible in the grille only when illuminated. You'll also love the parametric jewel design of the daytime running lamps, and the cascading grille anchors that are supported by a skid plate element. Even the A- and C-pillars signal a sporty design, thanks to the faster forward and rearward racks, than what most utility vehicles of this type offer. We also love the lockable in-bed storage, the lockable tonneau cover, and the seamless integration.
What safety comes with the Santa Cruz?
When it comes to getting the right vehicle, you need to make sure that you and your passengers will be taken care of. We are looking more in-depth at the safety features that are available with the Santa Cruz. Some of the top standard safety features include driver attention warning, forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, and pedestrian and cyclist detection. Optional features include a surround view monitor, blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit assist, and highway drive assist.
