2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Review
Roaring into the new model year, the 2024 Santa Cruz adds an XRT edition and packs some new equipment into popular trim levels.
We’ve got the details on how this new midsize truck is changing. Check out the latest in this Santa Cruz Review.
Model Year Changes
The biggest change this model year is the new XRT trim level. It replaces the SEL Premium in the lineup. In addition, Hyundai has added valuable safety standards to the whole lineup of these small pickups.
All Hyundai trucks now have a haptic steering wheel. This works with blind spot monitoring and lane keeping to remind drivers to stay alert to dangers. In addition, the new exterior gains Bi-LED projector headlights.
It’s easier to stay cooler in the SEL model. It gains dual-zone HVAC controls. This allows both the driver and front seat passenger to set their temperature for individualized cooling.
It’s easier to stay informed in the SEL with Activity Package. The navigation touchscreen is 2.25 inches bigger than the standard touchscreen. It’s easier to see, has even better menus, and provides navigation. Maps and directions are easy to access and follow with this built-in GPS system. Plus when a Hyundai has navigation, that system interfaces with the adaptive cruise control for a more refined ride.
Santa Cruz pickup shoppers will be glad to know that the Night package is still on the menu. The blacked out exterior adds a touch of mystery. New for 2024, the seats are now covered in a handsome black H-Tex syn-leather.
One thing that hasn't changed is the truck's ability to keep us safe. It earned a 2024 Top Safety Pick when tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
SE Trim
As the entry level model, the Santa Cruz trim level comes ready to serve. The standard engine creates 191 horsepower. Delivering 181 lb-ft of torque, Santa Cruz performance definitely exceeds the miserly 151 lb-ft available on the Ford Maverick. An 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard.
This model starts you off right with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB ports, HD radio, and an excellent 8-inch touchscreen. The interior is sizable with 104 cubic feet of space for you and your passengers. Flip-up rear cushions provide a way to increase interior storage capacity.
Cloth upholstery resists stains and odors, helping owners keep this small pickup clean. Additional standards include an acoustic windshield and an electronic parking brake.
A new haptic steering wheel provides an extra alert for lane changes. Offering more safety standards than many full size trucks and midsize trucks, standards are extensive, including:
-
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist & Pedestrian Detection
-
Blind Spot & Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Collision Avoidance Assist
-
Lane Keeping, Lane Following Assists
-
Leading Vehicle Departure Alert
-
Smart Exit Warning, Rear Occupant Alert
SEL Trim
The Santa Cruz SEL has the same powertrain features and options. However, the interior has more amenities for the driver, including a power chair. The dual automatic climate controls have a special multi-air mode. Both front seats have a power heat function in this compact pickup truck.
SEL models have push button start, and BlueLink adds a remote starter. The rear glass window can be slid open for extra air circulation. The SEL with Activity Package upgrades the driver’s cockpit with digital instrumentation and a wireless charger. Plus, there’s a sunroof overhead and extra LED lighting for the truckbed.
With features similar to these, the Night Package adds darker elements to the exterior and black HTex softness to the interior.
XRT Trim
Replacing the SEL Premium, the 2024 Santa Cruz XRT features build on the SEL Activity Package. It gains the turbo engine and a special 8-speed wet-type transmission. This dual-clutch system includes paddle shifters for manual training fun.
The exterior gets bed rails, skid plates, and special side steps. It has a special look with its dark fascias, dark chrome grille, and orange-accent wheels. Ground clearance on all models is an ample 8.6 inches.
XRT interiors wear black H-Tex upholstery. Drivers will enjoy the softness of a leather-clad steering wheel. The cockpit has a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster to complement the 10.25-inch color touchscreen.
Among its extra features, the infotainment system includes navigation, traffic flow, HD radio incident data and dynamic voice recognition. Advanced multimedia software allows over-the-air updates. A Hyundai Digital Key adds another level of sophistication. Safety features include:
-
Junction-turning Assistance
-
Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
-
Navigation-based Smart Cruise with Curve Control
Limited Trim
With lush leather seats, there’s no mistaking the Santa Cruz Limited trim. It has the most complete cockpit with digital instruments, large touchscreen, navigation, and more. The backseat gets USB ports and console-mounted A/C vents. Heater ducts are already standard.
There are even more upgrades in the driver assistance. This includes:
-
Surround View parking camera system
-
Blind-Spot View camera system
-
Highway Driving Assist
With these features, the driver has even more tools to avoid trouble. Highway Driving Assist is semi-automated driving available only on the Hyundai truck.
Utility and Hauling
The Santa Cruz bed is a versatile tool. For storage, it has a lockable under-bed compartment and sidewall storage units. Heavy duty cargo D-rings help secure equipment. In addition to assisted open and close, the tailgate has multiple functions. This includes the ability to be raised flat to achieve both the widest and longest flat surface for hauling.
Integrated steps allow you to get in and out of the bed easily. When equipped with the tonneau cover, it can close flush to the wall. This allows more clear space for your big loads.
