Interior

Step into the sophisticated cabin of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz and you will instantly forget you are driving a vehicle with a truck bed. The interior is a refined sanctuary featuring premium soft-touch materials, ergonomic seating, and an incredibly quiet ride. The state-of-the-art dashboard boasts available dual 12.3-inch panoramic screens, providing a high-tech command center for your navigation and entertainment needs.

Passengers will enjoy impressive legroom in both the front and rear, while thoughtful under-seat storage compartments help keep valuables hidden. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available heated and ventilated front seats ensure a first-class travel experience.

Exterior

The exterior design of the 2026 Santa Cruz is bold, athletic, and fiercely unique. The aggressive front grille seamlessly integrates hidden daytime running lights that magically appear when the vehicle is turned on, creating a striking visual signature.

However, the true star of the show is the versatile four-foot open composite bed. It is highly resistant to dents and rust, featuring a lockable under-bed storage compartment with a built-in drain plug that can function as a cooler. An available integrated roll-up tonneau cover effortlessly secures your cargo, making it a highly adaptable tool for weekend warriors.

Performance

Thrilling dynamics meet rugged capability underneath the sculpted hood of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Drivers can choose the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, or opt for the highly exhilarating 2.5-liter turbocharged variant that produces a robust 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.

Mated to a quick-shifting eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the turbocharged model delivers sports-car-like acceleration. The available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system ensures maximum traction on slippery roads and dirt trails. When fully equipped, this powerhouse boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, ready to haul your jet skis or ATVs with confidence.

Safety Features

Navigating both crowded urban streets and remote wilderness trails is stress-free with the advanced safety systems integrated into this Sport Adventure Vehicle. Every Santa Cruz comes standard with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Driver Attention Warning to keep you focused on the journey ahead.

The available Blind-Spot View Monitor displays a live video feed of your adjacent lanes directly in the gauge cluster, eliminating guesswork during highway lane changes. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist acts as a vigilant co-pilot when backing out of tight driveways, automatically applying the brakes if a hazard is detected.
