Hyundai may have hit upon a gold mine with a Santa Cruz compact pickup truck sales numbers for the compact pickup continued to grow in 2022 and remained high in 2023 capitalizing on the success seen so far Hyundai is expected to add numerous enhancements and improvements to the 2024 Santa Cruz keep reading this article to learn about what Hindi has in store for 2024.
Surprising changes to the 2024 Santa Cruz we want to see There are a lot of intriguing stories and Buzz at Hindi headquarters and in media reports about upcoming models from the Korean car manufacturer, of course, the Santa Cruz is in the thick of things we think there's a good chance that the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz will get unique treatment to create new trim lines and offer new technology Hyundai is currently planning four trim levels including the base SE in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive SEL trim that adds numerous safety features SEL premium and limited the SEL premium unlimited both come in all-wheel drive only we think there's room for Hyundai to add a performance package to the trim levels for 2024.
Hyundai's inline performance vehicles have been a sales Boon to the company creating a loyal following of enthusiasts, we think that 2024 could be the Year Hindi introduces an N-line Santa Cruz the compact pickup truck would look fantastic with aggressive body panels and creative paint schemes similar to other inline Hyundai vehicles in order to up the power for a 20 24 Santa Cruz end line might refine the existing 2.5 liters turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine the current variant of the 2.5-liter engine in Santa Cruz reduces 281 horsepower. but Hyundai would need to raise this to at least 300 horsepower to provide a performance package comparable to other N-line models along with an increase in power a special 2024 Santa Cruz and Line would also be expected to have a slick new interior to match the engine's performance we would love to see Factory Recaro racing seats shift paddleston for performance shifting and aggressive details throughout on the outside we would expect to see unique trims tires and Graphics to show off the special nature of an inline Hyundai Santa Cruz for 2024.
Hyundai's sales numbers have been higher than anticipated because of a larger demand for a fuel-efficient and competent utility vehicle Currently Hyundai does not offer Santa Cruz a hybrid or all-electric drivetrain adding a hybrid powertrain to the Santa Cruz would almost certainly increase sales right now the Ford Maverick is the only series competitor on the market and is outselling the Hyundai Santa Cruz nearly 2-1 The major difference between the two vehicles are the use of a hybrid powertrain and the Ford Maverick which has become one of the best selling versions it's clear that buyers in 2024 will be looking for a fuel-efficient compact pickup that can do real work Hyundai has not announced any plans to introduce a hybrid variant in 2024.
More likely would be a hybrid version in 2025 or 2026 when Santa Cruz may receive a model update if he and they decided to introduce a Hybrid drivetrain for 2024 the solution may be the hybrid package installed in the 2023 Hyundai Tucson hybrid SUV the Tucson and the Santa Cruz share many components including the basic unit body structure which would simplify the process of adding an electric motor Hyundai would need to improve the performance of the existing hybrid powertrain that uses a smaller the four-cylinder engine and generates just 226 horsepower refinements to the 2.5-liter turbo and the use of smaller electric motors perhaps as a compliment to the front end while providing all-wheel drive might be too much to ask for 2024.
We think that there is at least some possibility that
Hyundai will introduce a limited edition of the Santa Cruz that features
all-wheel drive and a hybrid powertrain in 2024 to gauge customer interest and
begin real-world ahead of a significant change to their powertrain offerings
for 2025 or 2026 new exterior changes Santa Cruz buyers are attracted to the
aggressive styling and purposeful ability the compact pickup offers the Santa
Cruz has been described as a lifestyle vehicle and we expect changes for 2024
to reflect the company's desire to attract buyers looking for aggressive
compact pickup changes to the front end of the vehicle are likely to include
refinements to the grill and changes to the headlights most of the sheet metal
will carry over from 2023. but expect to see subtle changes that add to the
pickup's good looks other likely changes in 2024 include subtle sculpting to
the rear tailgate area and tail lights like the changes to the front end the changes
at the rear of the Santa Cruz will further establish a new identity for 2024.
Surprised everyone in 2023 by offering new exterior color
options some of these new colors including Atlas white are likely to continue
in 2024 we think it is unlikely that the Santa Cruz will be available in
California Sand a light brown color available last year instead the current
color lineup That features Hampton gray Sage Gray Phantom black and blue stone
is expected to return has a number of red colors used in various models that
would look great with the aggressive lines of the Santa Cruz since the model
does not currently have a red shade it's highly likely that Hyundai will offer
the Santa Cruz in red a Hyundai Santa Cruz N-line model would offer an
opportunity to showcase many of racing themed paint schemes popular with other
n and n-line models a color scheme that matches the blue red and black WRC
racing Vehicles would be particularly eye-catching on the aggressive Santa Cruz
body style first second and third in the
2022 fee Acropolis rally in Greece would be the excellent time for Hindi to pay
homage to the historic finish with a racing-inspired 2024, Santa Cruz interior
upgrades buyers will likely notice many small changes to the interior finishes
and fitment of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Hyundai is expected to return

colors fabrics and styles in 2024 but could make changes to
improve the rear seat Comfort leg room and options for charging cell phones

infotainment system and a large touchscreen that provides drivers with a
command center the sleek and stylish interior is likely to get even better with
new color options and customizable features power and performance enhancements
will continue to offer two variations of the 2.5 liters inline four-cylinder
engine that has provided power to Santa Cruz since its introduction in 2021.
The base 2.5-liter engine is naturally aspirated and produces approximately 190 horsepower buyers can also choose a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder that's equipped with a Turbocharger to increase power output to 281 horsepower both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that'll also continue for 2024.
All-wheel drive will be available on the top-of-the-line limited edition models the combination of the turbocharged 4-cylinder Engine with an all-wheel drive train creates a vehicle that can tow 5000 pounds and gets an estimated 27 miles per gallon on the highway Santa Cruz leads the market in Towing and capacity numbers we expect the company to protect in 2024 by offering refinements and enhancements to existing technology pricing and availability the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz will hit showrooms in the fall of 2023.
The first models may even be available in late summer in some markets Hyundai is not officially announced pricing for the 2024 Santa Cruz but we expect similar prices to 2023 which means base models will carry a price tag of around 25 000 while the fully loaded limited edition models Macy and MSRP approaching forty thousand dollars some Santa Cruz models are likely to be more expensive than competitors but the compact truck offers a significant value when considering the impressive list of standard equipment including looking forward to the new 2024.
Hyundai Santa Cruz we know that the future of automotive technology includes EVs and hybrids while Hyundai has yet to announce a hybrid or all-electric Santa Cruz efficiently it's only a matter of time before fires have this technology available considering how well hybrids are built by Ford and Jeep sold in 2022 there's a high likelihood that Engineers are working overtime to find an efficient affordable and Powerful hybrid powertrain to make the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz even more desirable Hyundai has a reputation as a bold automotive company that's not afraid to take risks by introducing vehicles that appeal to a select group of buyers the Santa Cruz has drawn interest from people Nationwide who need a roomy comfortable easy to drive vehicle with a utility to haul small loads the popularity of the Hyundai Santa Cruz shouldn't be stunning but the impressive functionality and fearsome good looks have buyers racing to make deposits on the new 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz.
