Discover Sporty Excellence With the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz

An Exterior Ready for Any Adventure

At first glance, the newest SANTA CRUZ looks ready for anything, and with its rugged exterior build, it undoubtedly is. With rear-bumper steps, a multi-functional tailgate, heavy-duty D-rings in the cargo area, and multiple storage compartments built into its robust sheet-molded composite bed, you can bring all your gear on your next adventure.

The SEL Activity trim’s integrated tonneau cover with T-slot utility racks is perfect for your camping gear, while the model’s 115-volt sidewall power outlet transforms the truck bed into a convenient station for your power tools. The SEL’s standard roof-mounted side rails are ideal for attaching your kayak, canoe, snowboard, or skis, while the bed is the perfect size to stow your mountain bikes.

Exterior Design

Each model in the lineup features automatic bi-LED projector-style headlights that provide superior visibility while reducing glare for other drivers. These headlights include High Beam Assist and are paired with matching LED daytime running lights, as well as LED taillights in the rear. Every 2025 SANTA CRUZ comes equipped with a roof-mounted LED cargo light, and higher trims add LED lighting to the truck bed.

Stepping Into the Cabin

Inside the cabin, privacy glass and an acoustic-laminated front windshield provide protection and a quieter ride. Every trim is fitted with a push-button starter and Hyundai’s proximity key, which automatically unlocks the doors as you approach to welcome you inside. The five-occupant SANTA CRUZ features odor- and stain-resistant cloth upholstery, along with a 60/40-split rear bench featuring tip-up lower cushions.

Every cabin this year includes a 4.2-inch gauge cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bluelink+.

Looking Under the Hood

The first three trims are powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that delivers 181 lb.-ft of torque and 191 horsepower. The final two trims boast a turbocharged version of the 2.5-liter engine that produces an impressive 311 lb.-ft of torque and 281 horsepower. The SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims come standard with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed SHIFTRONIC transmission, while the XRT and Limited models feature HTRAC all-wheel drive and an eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.
