Meet the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz: The Sport Adventure Vehicle Redefined
The SE is outfitted with a dynamic 2.5-liter I4 motor that produces 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This model has a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drivetrain ideal for suburban living, but you can upgrade to the HTRAC AWD system if you prefer all-wheel traction and performance.
The SE comes with a standard four-pin trailer pre-wiring system and can easily tow up to 3,500 lb with trailer brakes. This utility vehicle also comes with a self-leveling rear suspension that automatically maintains a steady ride height for a comfortable ride feel. The FWD model has an estimated gas mileage of 22 MPG in the city, 30 MPG on the freeway, and 25 MPG combined.
Exterior Features
The Santa Cruz SE is prepared for travel on every road with durable 18-inch alloy wheels and bi-LED projector headlights that can switch between high and low-beam headlights as needed. The cargo area has a roof-mounted LED light for easier nighttime visibility. The bed area of this unique utility vehicle comes with a lockable storage compartment beneath the bed, storage components on the bed sidewalls, and a multi-functional tailgate for fast access.
Interior Features
The SE is built with your active lifestyle in mind, which is why the cloth seating material is designed to resist stains and odors. The rear seats can fold or tip up with a 60/40 split to make extra room for cargo. This model also comes with a 12.3-inch infotainment system that can wirelessly sync with Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and Android Auto. Standard HD radio provides stunning audio clarity.
Safety Features
The SE model has a Rear View Monitor with integrated parking guidance so you can reverse into tight parking spaces and avoid obstacles. Key driver-assistance systems include Lane Keeping Assist, High Beam Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. The forward collision warning system has standard pedestrian detection to spot people in front of you in urban or suburban settings.
The High Beam Assist system can detect approaching traffic and automatically turns off the high-beam headlights to make the road safer for everyone. The Driver Attention Warning system is designed to detect distracted driving behaviors so you can be a safer driver.
One of the most well-rounded utility vehicles on the road this year is the Santa Cruz, which offers an ideal blend of passenger comfort and heavy-duty utility. Get in touch with Tony Hyundai Waipio in Waipahu, HI to learn about financing.
