- Updated interior with premium materials and larger touchscreen
- Available 360-degree camera system on higher trims

Trim Levels
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is available in five well-equipped trim levels to suit a variety of preferences:
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SE: The base SE trim comes standard with LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, an eight-inch touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. A 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine powers it.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL: Moving up to the SEL adds features like heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, blind-spot monitoring, and a power driver's seat. The 2.5-liter engine carries over.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Activity: The SEL Activity builds on the SEL with a power sunroof, integrated tonneau cover, sliding rear window, and an activity package for your outdoor adventures. It retains the same powertrain as the lower trims.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited: The more luxurious Limited comes standard with a 281-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter engine and all-wheel drive. Other upgrades include leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, and a Bose audio system.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT: At the top of the lineup, the XRT adds rugged style with 18-inch dark alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, a unique grille and bumper, and side steps. Inside, it features leather-trimmed seats.


Rugged Performance
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a rugged truck that comes in your choice of two different powertrain options. The standard powertrain delivers plenty of speed and acceleration for the average Naperville driver. At the same time, an optional turbocharged engine with a high-performance dual-clutch automatic transmission can tow even more equipment for more demanding trips. Front-wheel drive is another standard feature. However, an optional HTRAC all-wheel drive system delivers more traction and control on rugged surfaces during commutes between Downer's Grove and Glen Ellyn. A drive mode select system allows you to adjust the performance based on the conditions of the roads around Elmhurst. A special tow mode is also available on certain trims when you need the extra boost.
Working Smarter and Harder
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is specially designed to make Barrington drivers more productive. The four-foot-long pickup bed does more with less: it has plenty of space to store bikes, skis, surfboards, and other equipment. The molded pockets can be customized to expand the bed storage size. A sealed under-floor bin is designed to drain excess water. An optional tonneau cover provides lightweight yet durable protection over the entire bed. An optional power outlet makes connecting all your appliances and tools easy when no other source is available.


Technology You Can Count On
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is packed with smart technology to make your life easier. The dashboard incorporates a high-resolution touchscreen display and a digital instrument cluster into the same panoramic curved monitor. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities allow you to connect your smartphone to the screen. The Hyundai SmartSense system is a suite of advanced driver assistance technologies that monitor the road for danger and help keep you safer on Glenview roads. Standard and optional features include a forward-collision avoidance assistance system and a blind-spot view monitor. You'll also get navigation-based cruise control with stop-and-go technology.
Lease or Loan
If you're considering a 2025 Santa Cruz, our finance center can review your lease and loan options. Leasing typically means a lower monthly payment and the ability to drive a new vehicle every few years. Financing is ideal for those wanting to own their Santa Cruz long-term and build equity. We'll work with you to determine which option fits your budget and driving needs best.
