Are you looking for a vehicle that combines the utility of a pickup truck with the comfort and drivability of an SUV? Look no further than the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz, now available at Green Hyundai in Springfield, IL. This innovative Sport Adventure Vehicle redefines the compact pickup segment with its bold styling, advanced features, and go-anywhere spirit.
Trim Levels and Performance
The Santa Cruz is offered in five well-equipped trims, including the SE, SEL, SEL Activity, Limited, and XRT, ensuring there's a model tailored to your specific needs. Under the hood, you'll find a choice of two potent engines. SE, SEL and SEL Activity trims get a 2.5L 4-cylinder producing a robust 191 horsepower, while Limited and XRT variants step up to a 2.5L turbocharged engine generating an impressive 281 horsepower. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth, seamless power delivery.
Drivetrain
When properly equipped, the Santa Cruz provides confident traction across varying road conditions thanks to an available HTRAC All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system. This intelligent system proactively distributes torque between the front and rear wheels depending on road conditions and driver inputs for optimized stability and control. For those who don't need AWD, SE, SEL and SEL Activity trims are also available in a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) configuration.
Versatile and Functional Truck Bed
Behind the comfortable and spacious 5-passenger cabin, the Santa Cruz features a highly versatile truck bed designed to handle all your gear. A lockable tonneau cover keeps your cargo secure and out of sight, while integrated storage compartments provide a convenient place to stow smaller items. The SEL Activity, Limited, and XRT also include a sliding rear window to improve airflow and allow pass-through loading of longer items. With up to 4 feet of length, the bed is sized just right for hauling bikes, camping gear, home improvement supplies, and more.
Advanced Safety and Convenience Features
Every Santa Cruz includes a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features to provide greater awareness and peace of mind behind the wheel. Standard equipment includes:
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) to alert you of vehicles in your blind spot
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) when reversing
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) to help keep you centered in your lane
- Driver Attention Warning (DAW) to detect driver fatigue
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian, Cyclist and Junction Turning Detection
Interior
Inside the spacious and refined cabin, a large 12.3-inch touchscreen display provides intuitive access to the audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a host of connected vehicle services. Available amenities like a Bose premium audio system, wireless charging pad, and dual-zone automatic climate control keep you comfortable and connected on every drive.
