Brand-New 2022 Santa Cruz
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz has arrived at Fort Mill Hyundai, and once you take it for a test drive, you will agree it was worth the wait. Whether you enjoy exploring beautiful South Carolina on weekend road trips, plan on tailgating at a Tigers or Gamecocks game, or simply want a vehicle with the perfect blend of style and utility, you will love the new 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Design
The new Santa Cruz is Hyundai’s unique, very first, open-bed automobile. The futuristic design is pleasing to the eye, yet also provides utility, accommodating all sorts of equipment, gear, and other sundries as you make your way across the Palmetto State. Hop on in the new Santa Cruz and you will agree the interior is fit for a King or a Queen. The ergonomic steering wheel is soft to the touch thanks to its high-quality leather. Segue through the power driver seat's eight unique positions and you are sure to find one that is just right for you. Each of these settings provides more than enough lumbar support, ensuring you don’t end up with a sore lower back after a lengthy road trip across South Carolina. Vehicle occupants also enjoy leather trimmed seats, in-cab storage through a removable bin beneath the second row and a power moonroof.
Performance
The Santa Cruz is a powerful vehicle that gets off the line faster than most expect. The vehicle’s 2.5 liter 4-cylinder GDI MPI engine powers the Santa Cruz to a speed of 60 miles per hour in about 8 seconds. Those looking for additional power will find it in the available turbocharged 2.5 liter engine. The Santa Cruz engine is tied to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Premium level features an 8-speed Wet Dual Clutch transmission that helps the vehicle tow between 3,500 pounds and 5,000 pounds with surprising ease.
Though the new Santa Cruz is a fairly large vehicle, it is fuel efficient, providing 28 miles per gallon when driving on Fort Mill highways and 22 miles per gallon during downtown drives. You can haul all sorts of items thanks to the four-foot cargo bed.

The SE version of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz comes standard with a 2.5L GDI MPI 4-cylinder engine with available AWD and a 3,500 lb. towing capacity with a 1,748-lb. payload. You’ll enjoy driving the 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® on all your weekend adventures, whether to North Carolina beaches or mountains.
In addition to the 4.3-foot truck bed, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz has conveniently molded cubbies on each side of the bed. You’ll also be able to take advantage of a 115-volt outlet for charging devices like lanterns and phones. Forget your cooler?

Loaded with Technology and Safety Features
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz takes advantage of all kinds of technology and safety features, and most come standard no matter the trim package.
Technology
The new Santa Cruz is loaded with high-tech goodies. The 8-speaker Bose sound system complete with a subwoofer is intuitive for drivers of all ages. The vehicle’s 10.25” touchscreen is hi-res with a superior user experience design. Additional tech highlights include: Digital Key access, a navigation system and connectivity to Wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Safety
The ’22 Santa Cruz will be one of the safest vehicles on Fort Mill roads. The Santa Cruz has Smart Cruise Control complete with Stop & Go functionality. In short, the vehicle has radar that helps keep you and your passengers at a safe distance from the car in front of you when traveling at certain speeds.
The vehicle’s Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance (BCA) system identifies vehicles in the blind spot upon turn signal activation, providing an audible alert along with a visual sign of the vehicle’s presence. If necessary, the system will trigger the braking power to prevent an accident. The Santa Cruz also has Hyundai SmartSense with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and a Pedestrian Detection capability. This means if an automobile or pedestrian are identified in the path of the vehicle by the forward camera, a warning will trigger. This technology also activates emergency braking in the event a driver fails to apply the brakes within a brief window of time.
