2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz: Versatility Beyond the Daily Drive

The 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz combines the comfort and manageable dimensions of a crossover with an open bed ready for work, hobbies, and weekend plans. Two available engines, useful towing capacity, and smart cargo solutions give this Sport Adventure Vehicle plenty of flexibility. Learn all about it with Anaheim Hyundai.

Power and Performance

A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine produces 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque in the 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz. The XRT trim steps up to a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine generating 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Front-wheel drive is standard with the 191-horsepower engine, with HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive available. Maximum towing capacity in this new Hyundai model reaches 3,500 lbs with the standard engine or 5,000 lbs with the turbo engine when the trailer has brakes.

Open-Bed Versatility

The 27.0-cubic-foot bed of the 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz measures 52.1 inches long at the floor and 42.7 inches wide between the wheelhouses. That provides a practical place for muddy gardening supplies, camping equipment, home-improvement materials, or bikes that you would rather keep outside the passenger compartment.

Every 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz also includes lockable under-bed storage, sidewall storage compartments, heavy-duty cargo D-rings, and integrated rear bumper steps. Select models add an integrated tonneau cover, adjustable utility-track system, and a 115V bed outlet for compatible tools or campsite equipment.

Technology Features

A 12.3-inch touchscreen comes standard and includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, SiriusXM®, HD Radio, and Bluelink+®. Front and rear USB-C ports also give passengers convenient places to keep devices charged.

Available equipment includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 15-watt wireless device charging. The XRT trim adds onboard navigation, a Bose® Premium Audio System, Hyundai Digital Key 2 Touch, and Dynamic Voice Recognition.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist™
