2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz in Lebanon, TN

Step inside the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz, and you’ll immediately be met with the fusion of comfort and functionality. Regardless of where you’re going, the Santa Cruz’s spacious and tech-laden cabin makes every drive relaxing.

You’ll love the generous seat spacing. Legroom is 41.4 inches in the front and 36.5 inches in the back, allowing even taller occupants to have a comfortable ride. The lower trims feature odor- and stain-resistant seat cover, while the SEL, SEL Activity, and XRT models have H-Tex® leatherette seats. The Limited model comes with luxurious leather seats. Dual-zone automatic climate control further enhances comfort throughout the cabin for everyone.

You also have a lot of room for your belongings in the 72 cubic feet of space in the truck bed, as well as space in compartments inside the cabin. The Santa Cruz similarly makes it easier to bring along small children with a rear-seat alert system and child locks.

Other useful features include USB ports in every row, an acoustic-laminated windshield, and an optional rain-sensing windshield.

The Santa Cruz also ensures the welfare of drivers with an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and available ventilated and heated front seats. A power sunroof allows you to let fresh air and sunlight into the cabin.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz’s unique profile is hard to miss. It looks like an SUV when you see it oncoming, but it’s definitely a pickup truck when you’re tailing it from behind.

The new Santa Cruz features a modern look with its redesigned front fascia and confident body lines. These fresh design elements are accentuated by 18- or 20-inch wheels, which provide the pickup truck a sure footing on any road. Off-roaders will also love the SEL Activity and XRT models with their all-terrain features.

Other functional features include auto headlights, roof rails, a power liftgate, heated side mirrors, and high-beam assist. Plus, you can go off-grid with the 115-volt power outlet.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz is available in a range of exterior colors, including the following:

• Phantom Black
• Hampton Gray
• Atlas White
• Sage Gray
• Blue Stone
• Rockwood Green

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz packs power to support you in any road challenge. Its 2.5-liter inline-4 engine gives you 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque at your command. But that’s not all. The XRT and Limited have turbocharged this same powerplant for more robust output. By pumping more air into the engine, the fuel burns stronger to deliver an exhilarating 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. This engineering setup allows you to tow up to 5,000 pounds and carry a maximum payload of 1,411 pounds.

All engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTTRONIC®. This technology facilitates manual shifting while in automatic mode, giving you more control over how fast you can go at any given moment. It also promotes overall fuel efficiency, enabling the Santa Cruz to achieve an EPA-estimated 21 mpg for city driving and 29 mpg on the highway in AWD models.

The SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims have a front-wheel drive setup, while the XRT and Limited incorporate the HTRAC® AWD. Short for Hyundai TRACtion, the innovation uses special sensors and software to boost the rear wheels in case of traction loss on an uphill drive or wheel slippage.
