Innovative Compact Trucking: The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz is one of the most innovative vehicles on the market today. It manages to squeeze the form and features of a truck into a compact footprint, then adds all the advantages of a car, plus an impressive number of standard advanced safety features. As though all of that wasn’t enough, this small pickup boasts the kind of style that has heads turning. It’s truly unmatchable, standing in a class by itself.

Innovative Compact Trucking: The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Unique Construction

The 2024 Santa Cruz is built on the same unibody platform as the popular Hyundai Tucson SUV. This is why it drives so much better than much of its competition. It can provide the deft handling and nimble steering most often found in cars rather than trucks. The unibody style also allows the Santa Cruz to ride comfortably over almost any type of surface.
However, this is still a line of trucks supplying all the utility you could ask from a compact pickup. Even the base-level trim can tow up to 3,400 pounds and haul more than 1,400 pounds.

Style

The eye-catching front grille, unusual alloy wheels, and sharp angles all over the exterior add up to a quirky look that sets the 2024 Santa Cruz apart from everything else on the road. Even better, the style is complemented by unique standard features offering practicality and convenience, such as the locking storage compartment under the truck bed and smaller closed storage spaces inside the bed walls. There is even a small side step integrated into the rear bumper.

Technology

Compact vehicles don’t always have more than the most basic tech features, especially in the lower trims. Hyundai breaks that tradition with the 2024 Santa Cruz. The infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay is standard on even the SE base model. There are also two USB ports in front and a 4.2-inch gauge cluster.

Advanced Driver’s Aids

It’s not surprising that the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2024 Santa Cruz a perfect 5-star rating. In addition to the more common safety features such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, Hyundai has added a long list of standard driver’s aid features to even the lowest trim levels. These include:

• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Following and Lane Keeping Assist
• Safe Exit Warning
• Driver Attention Warning
• Rear Occupant Alert
