![]() ![]() This gives the Santa Cruz a significant leg up on the Ford Maverick and justifies, at least to some extent, its higher price. The Santa Cruz interior has a more premium look and feel than the typical small truck thanks to everything forward of the front seats being shared with the impressive Hyundai Tucson compact SUV. What are the Santa Cruz's interior and in-car technology like? Elsewhere, LED headlights and steering wheel haptic safety alerts are now standard on all models dual-zone automatic climate control is included with the SEL trim a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen has been added to the SEL Activity package and the Night trim level now comes with synthetic leather upholstery.

If anything, the Santa Cruz is perhaps more like a sporty compact SUV with a truck bed, whereas the Maverick is a miniature truck. The Maverick crushes the Santa Cruz with its 37-mpg hybrid powertrain but the Hyundai counters with more features, a nicer interior and a very generous warranty.

In terms of price, it's comparable to the Santa Cruz on the low end but lacks the more luxurious top trims from Hyundai.

Two years later, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz is fundamentally unchanged, but the compact pickup truck class has grown to include the Ford Maverick. In some ways it's similar to the larger midsize Honda Ridgeline in that it's mechanically related to a crossover SUV and benefits from a smoother-riding unibody construction. Hyundai debuted the Santa Cruz in 2022, making it the smallest truck on the market and an intriguing choice for light-duty users. That's where the revival of the compact pickup comes in. Even midsize trucks such as the Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado may exceed many shoppers' needs. That's great for those who will push their rig close to the limit for towing and hauling, but let's face it, not everybody needs to pull tree stumps or tow a space shuttle. Pickup trucks are the best-selling vehicles in the United States and over the years, they've been growing in size and capabilities.
