The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited is the ultimate sport adventure vehicle for drivers who want aggressive styling, premium comfort, and real utility without committing to a full-size truck. This is not a crossover pretending to be a pickup. The Santa Cruz Limited is a bold, purpose-built machine that blends the maneuverability of an SUV with the versatility of an open bed, creating a category of its own and doing it better than anyone else.
From the outside, the 2024 Santa Cruz Limited looks sharp, muscular, and unmistakably modern. The wide grille, sculpted body lines, and integrated LED lighting give it a confident, athletic stance that demands attention. Unique Limited trim accents, premium alloy wheels, and a sleek bed design create a refined yet aggressive look that stands out in traffic and at the job site. This is a truck designed for people who want utility without sacrificing style.
Under the hood, the Santa Cruz Limited delivers serious performance. The turbocharged engine provides strong acceleration and confident passing power, while the advanced automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive shifts. Available all-wheel drive enhances traction and control in rain, snow, and uneven road conditions, making this truck just as capable in bad weather as it is on dry pavement. The Santa Cruz drives tight and composed, offering a confident feel that makes daily driving easy and enjoyable.
The pickup bed is where this vehicle truly separates itself. The lockable tonneau cover keeps your cargo secure and protected, while the in-bed trunk provides hidden storage for tools, gear, or valuables. Integrated bed lighting, a durable bed surface, and a versatile tie-down system make hauling everything from bikes to building supplies simple and efficient. This is a truck built to work smart, not bulky.
Step inside, and the Limited trim delivers a premium experience that rivals luxury SUVs. Leather seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and power-adjustable seating with memory elevate comfort to a whole new level. The cabin is quiet, refined, and thoughtfully designed, with high-quality materials and excellent visibility. Rear passengers enjoy generous space, making this a true five-passenger vehicle.
Technology is front and center in the 2024 Santa Cruz Limited. A large touchscreen infotainment system pairs with a fully digital instrument cluster to create a modern, intuitive cockpit. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, wireless charging, and a premium audio system keep you connected and entertained. Hyundai Digital Key allows you to unlock, start, and drive the vehicle using your smartphone, adding convenience and security.
Safety is comprehensive and advanced. The Santa Cruz Limited comes equipped with Hyundai SmartSense features including forward collision-avoidance assist, blind-spot view monitor, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, smart cruise control with stop-and-go, parking distance sensors, surround-view monitor, stability control, traction control, and a full airbag system. These technologies work together to keep you confident and protected in every driving situation.
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited delivers bold design, turbocharged performance, premium comfort, advanced technology, and real truck utility in one aggressive, versatile package. If you want a vehicle that works hard, looks sharp, and drives like nothing else on the road, the Santa Cruz Limited is ready to outperform expectations.

Some cons, but overall most versatile vehicle.
By Atun Grande on Sunday, May 22, 2022
I have an SEL Premium, with the 2.5T engine. The exterior is awesome, very quirky, which I love. Sage grey is the best color, btw. I do mostly highway driving and average 27-29mpg overall per tank, so that’s great for this segment. The bed isn’t the biggest, BUT I shoehorned 6 bikes in the back with the tailgate down, some planning and tow straps. Overall, I don’t think there’s a more versatile option. It drives like an SUV, it’s smooth, fairly quiet, and comfortable, and at the end of the day, I can haul most anything I need outside of professional construction equipment. My issues are with the interior. First, coming from a Subaru, the visibility is…merely adequate. The A pillars are way too thick (I have absolutely lost cars behind them from certain angles), and the C pillars are just dumb. I’d accept some bigger mirrors, but it also makes the back seats feel a bit closed off. The interior design is functional, although if I’m being less than generous, I’d say it’s uninspired. It’s a sea of black plastic, really. I’d love something a bit more rugged and fun to look at. Now, why on Earth Hyundai put piano black in a ‘Sport Adventure Vehicle’ is beyond me. It’s downright hateful, in my opinion. Every speck of dust for 3 miles WILL find its way onto the piano black. Value is solid, but you’d think for 37k, I’d get AC vents for the rear seats, and ONLY the Limited gets that, which annoys me to no end. Not the greatest value for the money, and truth be told I sometimes waffle about going back to a Subaru, but the bed is REALLY useful. If Hyundai ruggedized the interior, I’d be all in. I still recommend it, because for all the grief I sometimes get from people who drive ‘real’ trucks, my Santa Cruz hauls air just as well as their Ram or F150, and I get 30 mpg on the highway at 65mph. - 5.0

Great trucklet
By Anon on Thursday, December 30, 2021
Just acquired a Santa Cruz Limited. Have been driving it in town and on the highway. Really pleased so far -- handles very competently, feels planted and competent in cornering, and has good acceleration and braking. The Limited has amazing tech. The touchscreen is very easy to use. Some people prefer knobs and buttons for A/C and radio, but surprisingly, I am finding that I prefer the all-touchscreen controls. I appreciate that the SC fits in the garage without difficulty. I did not really want a truck as a daily driver. This splits the difference -- it's a very nice SUV on the interior but has a bed that's really useful for all the wet stuff when I go kayaking, as well as for other messy fun outdoor sports stuff. The SC also a top safety pick, which was important to me.
