Trim Levels (Exterior)
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz is Hyundai's first sport adventure vehicle. It combines the passenger experience of the SUV with the utility of a truck. The front of the vehicle resembles the nose and passenger sides of an SUV, and the back becomes an open bed with side and sealed underfloor bins for extra storage. The Santa Cruz comes in six exterior colors; Sage Gray, Phantom Black, Ice White, Blue Stone, Hampton Gray, and Mojave Sand. The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz comes in four trim levels: the SE, the SEL, the SEL Premium, and the Limited. The first trim, the SE, includes an 8-inch color touchscreen display and open bed functionality. The Limited trim includes all-wheel drive, 10.35-inch touchscreen navigation, and a surround-view monitor.
Engine (Power)
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz comes equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It can produce 191 horsepower with 181 pound-feet of torque. You can opt into a higher horsepower with the SEL Premium and Limited trims, which can give you 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque from its 2.5-liter turbo engine. The Santa Cruz also features an automatic transmission. The SEL Premium and limited also include an eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Performance
Santa Cruz's eight-speed automatic engines and dual-clutch turbo upgrades provide the crossover tuck with agile handling and a smooth ride. All-wheel drive is available with the higher trims, making maneuvering on rougher terrain easier. However, the lower elevation of the truck provides easy maneuvering in city landscapes. The Santa Cruz's base engine and the turbocharged version can get around 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Adding the all-wheel-drive can improve the highway figure.
