Modern Motoring - 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is heavily refreshed this year, featuring a more aggressive front end, new steering wheel and a pair of new, modern screens.

It's right-sized for urban life while sporting the capability via the bed and clever cargo spots.

A new XRT off-road inspired trim is also new for 2025. The Santa Cruz keeps it's sole 2.5L turbo engine with terrific power, up to 5,000 pounds of towing and overall, there's a lot of utilitarianism here.
