If you're in search of a sporty truck to navigate the streets of Carthage, look no further than the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Explore its array of features to determine if it meets your needs.
Performance
The 2024 Santa Cruz offers two powertrain options. If you get the SE or SEL trim, the vehicle comes equipped with a four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine that puts out 181 pound-feet of torque and 191 horsepower. This pairs up with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Should you prefer the Night, Limited or XRT trim, you will get a turbocharged four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine that puts out 311 pound-feet of torque and 281 horsepower. This engine combines with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. You can get all-wheel drive with every trim except the SE.
If you choose front-wheel drive, you get about 26 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg as you drive around Henderson, Texas. With the turbocharged engine, this vehicle gets about 27 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city.
Technology
There is an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen that comes standard. However, if you choose a higher trim level, there is an optional 10.3-inch screen. You can connect your Android or Apple phone wirelessly to the Santa Cruz thanks to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Take advantage of Hyundai BlueLink® for features like remote starting and remotely locking and unlocking your doors.
Safety
No matter where you are driving in Lufkin, the Santa Cruz has several features to keep you safe. There is a driver-attention warning system. This tracks your eye movements, and when it senses that you are distracted, it gives you an alert so that you can refocus.
Lane-keeping assist can detect when you are getting too close to drifting into the next lane, and it will alert you so that you can correct your driving. There is also a blind-spot monitoring feature that will tell you if a vehicle is in your blind spot before you change lanes.
Interior
This five-passenger vehicle features cloth upholstery for comfort. The driver's seat adjusts in six ways, and you make the adjustments manually. However, you can opt for a power driver's seat that adjusts in eight ways. You can get it in either leather or H-Tex synthetic upholstery. Other interior options include ventilated and heated front seats, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, and a heated steering wheel.
You can fit two children's safety seats in the back. There are two LATCH connectors available to you. Thanks to several nooks and cupholders, it is easy to keep your interior neat and organized.
Exterior
The Santa Cruz features 20-inch alloy wheels that come standard on the vehicle. Increase ventilation by sliding the rear glass window. It slides manually, so it is easy to get the exact level of air that you want.
The running lights and taillights are all LED. During the daytime, the running lights are hidden unless it is dark enough to warrant them.
The bed of the Santa Cruz has a tonneau cover that you can roll into a canister or lock closed, depending on what you are hauling. Easily access this space by opening the fold-down liftgate or by using the integrated rear bumper steps. Underneath the bed, there is a waterproof storage compartment you can use for things like tools or sensitive luggage. It locks to keep your belongings safe.
