The 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz is a compact pickup truck, not an SUV. Hyundai builds it on a unibody car-based platform rather than a body-on-frame truck platform, which gives it car-like handling and ride comfort along with an open cargo bed. Because of this blended design, Hyundai often markets it as a “Sport Adventure Vehicle,” but for classification purposes it is a truck.
No. The 2027 Santa Cruz is a four-door crew cab pickup with two rows of seating and room for five passengers. It does not offer a third row on any trim. Shoppers who need three-row seating in a Hyundai should consider the Santa Fe or the Palisade, both available at Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland.
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz starts at approximately $30,300 MSRP for the base SE trim with front-wheel drive, and pricing climbs to roughly $45,000 for a fully loaded Limited trim with all-wheel drive. Final pricing excludes tax, title, license, and dealer fees and is subject to change, so contact Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland for current pricing on in-stock units.
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz lineup includes five trim levels: SE, SEL, SEL Activity, XRT, and Limited. The SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims use a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine, while the XRT and Limited trims are powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with standard all-wheel drive.
Properly equipped, the 2027 Santa Cruz can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the standard 2.5-liter engine and up to 5,000 pounds with the available turbocharged 2.5-liter engine found on the XRT and Limited trims.
Yes. All-wheel drive with Hyundai’s HTRAC system is optional on the SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims, and it comes standard on the XRT and Limited trims.
