2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Get to Know the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz at Purdy Hyundai of Broken Arrow

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz stands out as a vehicle that blends SUV and pickup‑truck characteristics. Although it shares many similarities with its main rival, the Ford Maverick, the Hyundai Sport Adventure Vehicle (SAV) has a more distinct look.

Positioned between the family-friendly Tucson and the rugged Santa Fe within Hyundai's lineup, the Santa Cruz provides a unique blend of lifestyle utility and everyday driving ease.

This vehicle is available in five trims: SE, SEL, SEL Activity, XRT, and Limited.

Interior of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz has plenty of headroom and legroom for both rows of seats. Trims without a sunroof offer 40.2 inches of headroom and 41.4 inches of legroom, while sunroof-equipped models provide a little less headroom in the front row. Passengers in the rear row get almost 40 inches of headroom and 36.5 inches of legroom.

For added comfort, the driver's seat in the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz has a wide range of adjustability. The cabin features a contemporary design, highlighted by a large central touchscreen and a fully digital gauge cluster positioned in front of the driver. Everything is clearly labeled and organized thoughtfully, with extra controls available on the steering wheel.

The Santa Cruz's truck bed is sized similarly to that of the Maverick. The tailgate can be adjusted to align with the wheel well height, allowing for the transport of lengthy or bulky items. Additionally, there is an in-bed trunk that includes a drain, making it ideal for storing wet items or ice for tailgating.

The cupholders and center console storage in the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz are akin to those found in a compact SUV. The rear child seat anchors are also easy to access, making it easier to install child seats.

Exterior of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz has a well-rounded exterior design. Traditional trucks have a bold, which may not appeal to all buyers. The Santa Cruz, with its more streamlined design, is an attractive option for families wanting an SUV-like vehicle.

Models of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz come with 18-inch wheels, with the exception of higher trims, which have 20-inch wheels. The standard external features include projector bi-LED headlights, daytime running lights, LED taillights, a shark fin roof antenna, and body-colored side mirrors.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz is available in the following color options:

  • Atlas White
  • Blue Stone
  • Canyon Red
  • Hampton Gray
  • Phantom Black
  • Rockwood Green

Power and Performance of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz provides two distinct powertrain choices, with the engine type varying according to the chosen trim level. The SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims have a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The XRT and Limited trims feature a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. All trims can be equipped with all-wheel drive, which comes standard with the turbocharged engine. These powertrain features make the Santa Cruz a great choice for city driving.

Compared to larger models within the midsize truck segment, the Santa Cruz is smaller and sits lower, making it easier to navigate through city streets. The top-of-the-line Limited variant provides a refined ride and agile handling.

With the standard 4-cylinder engine, the Santa Cruz has a towing capacity rated at 3,500 pounds. When fitted with the optional turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, its towing capability matches that of other unibody trucks in this class, reaching a maximum towing limit of 5,000 pounds.
