New Santa Cruz Truck for Sale: Choose Your Sport Adventure Vehicle Trim
You'll have distinct trims to choose from in the 2026 Santa Cruz lineup. The first consideration to make is which of the model's two engines you want powering your excursions. The first three variants use a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. These options will give you plenty of highway acceleration and merging potential.
However, a more potent turbocharged 2.5-liter unit comes with the penultimate XRT and range-topping Limited, motivating your drives with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. We recommend the added power and rugged appointments of the XRT if off-roading is in your future.
Along with powertrain variances, each edition has its own equipment level. Here are some of their highlights:
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SE: The base-level SE trim comes with all the essentials for your daily commutes, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a six-way adjustable driver's seat.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL: At the SEL level, you'll have added convenience and comfort via heated front seats, H-Tex leatherette upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an 8-way power driver's seat.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Activity: As its name suggests, the SEL Activity sets you up with more utility-focused appointments, such as an integrated tonneau cover, a 115-volt in-bed power outlet, and a dual C-channel adjustable utility track rail and cleat system.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT: Embrace your rugged nature with 18-inch XRT wheels, a dark XRT grille, standard HTRAC AWD, and additional Terrain and Tow driving modes.
- Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited: To get the most high-end amenities out of the new Santa Cruz, Hyundai loaded the top trim with an Integrated Memory System, 20-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, and ventilated front seats.

Customer Review of the New Hyundai Santa Cruz
Let me start by saying how much I hate car buying. It’s annoying and playing all those price games makes me cranky. This was very different from what I expected. We had been working with Martin over the phone and via emails, so just had to go in to complete the paperwork, and go for a spin. We loved Martin-he’s a straight shooter and will work hard for you. We couldn’t be happier with our new Santa Cruz and the whole car buying experience .
