=== RUGGED, VERSATILE, TRUCK-MEETS-CROSSOVER, ONE-OWNER, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, MADE FOR THE WEEKEND! === The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz introduced a genuinely new idea to the compact truck segment -- a unibody pickup built on car-like underpinnings that drives more like a crossover than a traditional truck, without giving up the open bed that makes a truck genuinely useful. It's Hyundai's first pickup sold in North America, and it quickly carved out its own lane by refusing to be a smaller version of anything else on the market. Finished in Blue Stone over a well-equipped SEL trim, this Santa Cruz pairs that everyday car-like drivability with genuine bed-hauling versatility, making it an easy fit for weekend gear runs without the bulk of a full-size truck. === Why Shoppers Buy This Model === Buyers choose the Santa Cruz because it solves a real problem -- wanting occasional truck-bed utility without committing to the size, fuel economy, or parking headaches of a full-size pickup. Built on the same platform as the Tucson, it drives with genuinely car-like manners, confident handling, and a comfortable ride that traditional body-on-frame trucks simply can't match. The Santa Cruz's integrated bed features -- including a lockable in-bed trunk and a tailgate that can be set to a mid-position to support 4-by-8-foot sheets of plywood -- reflect genuinely thoughtful engineering rather than a truck bed bolted on as an afterthought. === Automotive Press and Industry Recognition === Reviewers have consistently praised the Santa Cruz for successfully carving out a new niche in the compact truck space, combining genuine utility with a comfortable, car-like driving experience that stands apart from more traditional small pickups. Its clever integrated bed features and everyday drivability have made it a frequent favorite in comparisons against the segment's other new entrants. === Warranty === With about 14,100 miles on the odometer, this Santa Cruz is STILL COVERED by meaningful remaining factory protection. Remaining Transferable Factory Coverage * New Vehicle (Basic) Limited Warranty -- Covers bumper-to-bumper components. Expiration: 06/21/2027 or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. * Powertrain Limited Warranty (Subsequent Owner Coverage) -- Covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain; because this Santa Cruz is changing hands, coverage transfers at Hyundai's subsequent-owner term of 5 years/60,000 miles from the original in-service date, rather than the original owner's longer 10-year/100,000-mile term. Expiration: 06/21/2027 or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Extended service plans may be available to provide additional peace of mind and help protect your investment moving forward. === Standard Features === The SEL trim brings genuine step-up equipment over the base SE, including a power-adjustable driver's seat and heated front seats that make daily commuting noticeably more comfortable. A power tailgate release and blind-spot collision avoidance add both convenience and confidence that the base trim doesn't offer. Hyundai's Blue Link connected car system and SiriusXM capability round out the SEL's added technology, giving owners remote vehicle access and expanded entertainment options; subscription may be required to maintain service. === Truck Capability === This Santa Cruz's 4-foot-4-inch bed may look compact at first glance, but it's genuinely well thought out: 19.2 inches deep, with width ranging from nearly 54 inches at its widest to about 43 inches between the wheel housings -- enough to swallow home improvement supplies, landscaping gear, or weekend recreational equipment without issue. With this SEL FWD's 2.5-liter engine, this Santa Cruz is rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds, making it well-suited for small utility trailers, personal watercraft, or a light camper. Payload capacity for this configuration falls in the range of roughly 1,500 to 1,750 pounds depending on the specific source referenc
