Hyundai Santa Cruz: Launching the New 2022 Model!

Hyundai has been testing our patience since the Santa Cruz concept was presented at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. At that time, the comments were very positive, and we expected to see the pickup on the roads of Quebec two years later. But that was not to be, and Hyundai brilliantly foiled the predictions of the most car-savvy among us! 

It was only on April 15th that Hyundai officially announced the launch of the new 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz model, the first Korean small pickup truck, with an official release date expected soon. 

Contrary to what one might think, the Korean manufacturer's stated ambition is not to target the mid-size pickup segment already marketed in North America. Designed more for outdoor enthusiasts than for workers, the 2022 Santa Cruz is a credible alternative to traditional pickup trucks. If you're looking for a compact, versatile, practical vehicle with a rear box, but don't want the features usually associated with conventional pickup trucks, the 2022 Santa Cruz will make you happy! 

With this one-of-a-kind model, Hyundai has entered a new era and is ready to outperform the competition in every way. Its strengths? Everything from its bold design to its modern technology that blends connectivity and safety, to its efficient mechanics. The Santa Cruz is a true success on all aspects!

Hyundai Lanaudière, your dealer in Joliette near Repentigny, Mascouche and Terrebonne, unveils the very first 2022 Santa Cruz, which combines the flexibility of an open truck platform with the comfort of a compact SUV.

The Hyundai Santa Cruz: The Successful Marriage of Truck and SUV!

Smaller than a traditional mid-size pickup, the Santa Cruz creates a new category in the market, the "sport adventure vehicle," and has all the assets to be the leader of this category.

Elegant and refined, the Santa Cruz has as much charm on the outside as it does on the inside. Standard equipment includes LED body lighting, heated steering wheel and seats, a lockable underbody waterproof storage compartment as well as an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the rest, we'll let the Santa Cruz surprise you!

The Santa Cruz offers enhanced performance with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 275 horsepower and over 310 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Santa Cruz boasts a good towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, as much as most family-oriented mid-size SUVs! The Santa Cruz's standard HTRAC all-wheel drive system adds to its handling and driving pleasure. 

Furthermore, the secret weapon of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz is undoubtedly safety. It's packed with driver assistance technologies that warn you of hazards and help you avoid collisions. That's the ingenuity behind Hyundai SmartSense.

There's no denying that the 2022 Santa Cruz breaks free from the codes and segmentations of the past to reinterpret the passion of driving in a modern way! It's not just another pickup truck, and all the better if you're looking to stand out!
