Pros
Power
Amazing turbo power
Cons
Weather Versatility
Needs better tires for snow
Pros
Cost to Maintain
Great warranty, only $80 for a complete oil change! An awesome ride and tons of bells and whistles!
Fuel Economy
Drove from Biloxi MS to Atlanta and still had enough in the tank to ride around when I got there! very impressive highway fuel consumption.
Power
Traded my 2016 jeep Cherokee Trailhawk V6 in for the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT and I feel it has the same amount of power. Quick and responsive! towing is great too, with a towing capacity of 5000 pounds my bass boat fits just right.
Cons
Cabin Noise
Cabin noise is great, but if you get the crossbars for the roof then it will have a slight whistling noise.
Cargo Space
The bed of the truck is not very big, but it is large enough to transport a washer or dryer with no problem.
Seat Comfort
backseat is a little tight, and the ride is very upright. But that’s not enough to be a dealbreaker.
Pros
Technology and Entertainment
ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES
Ride and Handling
WORKS LIKE A TRUCK, DRIVES LIKE A CAR DUE TO THE UNIBODY CONSTRUCTION
Cons
Cabin Noise
i HAVE RAIN GUARDS, SLIGHTLY MORE NOISY

Pros
Interior Space
plenty of room for us to place our groceries
Seat Comfort
love the seat heater
Dashboard
my wife drives the vehicle while I enjoy looking at and playing with the screen
Cons
Cost to Maintain
more expensive on insurance, but worth it
Cargo Space
although we don't use the bed, it is small, but we didn't buy it to haul anything in
Visibility
don't really have any problems with visibility, nothing about the vehicle that we don't like
Pros
Styling
I just don't have the time to check all the pros about this vehicle! count me in for everyone, I have not had one negative since I purchased it. I love everything about it. I am a previous elantra owner and give Hyundai 2 thumbs up for making such quality products!
