2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz: Trims and Performance Features
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz blends the practicality of a pickup with the comfort and efficiency of an SUV, offering a range of trims tailored to diverse driving needs. The entry-level SE trim is powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, generating 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the SE delivers smooth performance and reliable handling for light hauling and city driving. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, with all-wheel drive (AWD) available for added control in challenging conditions. The SE achieves an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, making it an economical choice for drivers seeking utility and efficiency. The SEL trim builds on the SE with the same powertrain while adding extra features for comfort and convenience. The SEL Activity trim takes versatility further with practical upgrades like roof rails, a power sunroof, and a locking tonneau cover, making it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Both trims maintain the SE’s fuel economy, ensuring efficiency alongside added functionality. The XRT trim caters to drivers looking for a rugged, adventure-ready vehicle. Featuring the same 2.5-liter engine, the XRT comes standard with AWD and off-road enhancements like skid plates, black alloy wheels, and side steps. This trim achieves an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, balancing capability and practicality for off-road excursions. At the top of the lineup, the Limited trim delivers an upgraded turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, producing 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the Limited offers quick acceleration, high towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds (when properly equipped), and refined driving dynamics. Despite its power, the Limited maintains an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, combining performance with upscale comfort. From the efficient and capable SE to the adventurous XRT and the luxurious Limited, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz offers a versatile lineup designed to meet the needs of modern drivers, whether they’re seeking utility, adventure, or sophistication.

At the top of the lineup, the Limited trim includes heated and ventilated front seats, ensuring year-round comfort. With room for up to five passengers, the Santa Cruz provides generous legroom and supportive seating in both rows. The flat-folding rear seats feature under-seat storage compartments, perfect for securing tools, gear, or personal items. Dual-zone automatic climate control is available on higher trims, ensuring all passengers enjoy a comfortable ride in any weather. The Santa Cruz comes equipped with cutting-edge technology to keep drivers and passengers connected on every journey. A standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system offers easy access to navigation, audio, and vehicle settings.

Higher trims, like the Limited, upgrade to a 10.25-inch touchscreen display with enhanced functionality and crystal-clear graphics. Select trims also feature a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, providing customizable driving information in a sleek, modern format. For music enthusiasts, the Limited trim includes a premium Bose sound system, offering rich, immersive audio for every drive.
Hyundai SmartSense for Safety
Every Santa Cruz is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to enhance confidence on the road. Standard systems include forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, and driver attention warning. Higher trims add advanced features like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, ensuring convenience and safety in any driving scenario. With its comfortable and versatile interior, cutting-edge technology, and advanced safety features, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz redefines the Sport Adventure Vehicle segment.
