pickup truck merges utility with SUV styling on a winding mountain road.

The capable new 2024 and 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz pickups are both available as of this writing at Hamilton Hyundai in Clovis, NM. The Santa Cruz is compact pickup that's based on the ultra-popular Hyundai Tucson crossover and its four-foot truck bed makes it a practical tool for hauling cargo like mountain bikes or a yard of mulch for your flower beds. A 191-hosepower four-cylinder is the standard engine and the Santa Cruz is available with front- or all-wheel drive. Here's how the 2025 model differs from the 2024.

What's New in the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz?

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz gets a minor styling refresh for 2025 to give it a more rugged look. The restyled front grille and front bumper bear a family resemblance to the 2025 Tucson SUV, and the all-terrain XRT trim lets Portales, NM and Muleshoe, NM drivers things further off-road. The new 2025 Santa Cruz gets some additional off-road capability with a front-end treatment that has special tow-hooks. It also comes with 18-inch wheels and beefier tires, as well as new daytime running lights.

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz offers Fort Sumner, NM buyers two powertrain options with the engine choice based on the trim level. The SE and SEL operate with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that can produce 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque and the power is managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Night, XRT, and Limited trims are equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet torque. All models except the SE offer Tucumcari, NM drivers available all-wheel drive. The Santa Cruz is shorter and lower than some competitors, and that makes it easier to maneuver this compact pickup around town and do it in style.
