The 2027 Hyundai Santa Cruz brings pickup practicality and SUV comfort together for drivers. For 2027, the lineup is streamlined to SE, SEL Activity, and XRT trims, with faux leather trim now standard.
| Engine Option | Performance | Towing Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5L 4-Cylinder | 191 HP | – |
| 2.5L Turbocharged | 281 HP | Up to 5,000 lbs |
SE models offer up to 25 combined MPG.

Part small pickup, part sporty crossover, the Santa Cruz is built for people who need versatility without the bulk of a traditional truck. Its four-foot bed is ideal for dirty gear, garden supplies, or weekend toys, and upper trims add a lockable tonneau cover and handy in-bed trunk.
For 2027, the XRT gains premium touches like a sunroof, heated steering wheel, auto-dimming mirror, rear armrest, and Bose audio.
The Santa Cruz continues to earn strong praise for doing things differently.
