KEY POINTS ABOUT THIS Santa Cruz
At first glance, the Santa Cruz recalls visions of past classic vehicles like the Chevrolet El Camino and the Subaru BRAT. While not as big, it offers drivers a modern and comfortable experience with the option of being a work companion.Additionally, the XRT trim gets some enhanced off-road ability thanks to its standard AWD system.
Hyundai installed a turbocharged 2.5L 4-cyl. engine mated to a dual-clutch automatic transmission. Information obtained from the manufacturer states this powertrain offers 281 HP and 321 lb-ft. of torque. When it is properly equipped, it has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.
With so few miles, both the exterior body and tires show almost no wear or use and look factory fresh.
Similar to other compact crossover SUVs, the Santa Cruz offers a compliant ride, seating for up to 5 passengers, plus an array of standard features for both convenience and safety. All of the seating surface and floor coverings also look almost brand new.
