This vehicle drew more eyeballs than most I test, with some people saying it looked weird and others proclaiming it was more on the awesome side. WIth a unibody design based on Hyundai’s SUVs, and not the usual body-on-frame setup of most trucks, the Santa Cruz immediately carves out a niche inhabited by few others. This vehicle recalls past attempts at this style of vehicle - such as the Subaru Baja and the Ford Explorer Sport Trac - but improves on those vehicles quite a bit.
(Trucks don’t only need to be about hauling rocks, dirt and gravel) And it’s still useful despite the smaller size - I had people tell me they would have plenty of room to throw their bikes in the back of the truck and drive their family out to where they want to ride. For one thing, it’s more maneuverable and easier to park than a larger truck. This smaller size is popular for many reasons. They call it a “Sport Adventure Vehicle” - painting it as a mix between an SUV and a pickup.īut let’s be honest, it fits most people’s definition of a truck simply by having an open bed in the back, so that’s how most of us will refer to it. Now, to be clear, Hyundai doesn’t call the Santa Cruz a compact truck. First we got a large contingent of midsize trucks introduced over the past decade by multiple automakers, and now we’re getting something unimaginable a decade ago: The introduction of compact trucks that are quite popular. auto sales - from the Ford F-150 to the Dodge Ram and Chevy Silverado.Īnd while those types of vehicles will likely never stop being dominant, in recent years trucks have been trending smaller.
