That means you have a very attractive vehicle.Īt $33k, the Santa Cruz SEL Activity AWD competes (at least as a vehicle – ignore for the moment the actual TRUCK capabilities) with base 4×4 trims of the Tacoma, Frontier, Ranger, and Colorado that all sticker right around that $33k mark. The Activity Package (so much room for Activities!) gives the essential tonneau cover, rear sliding glass (dogs love trucks, I’m told), LED bed lighting, 115v in-bed inverter, sunroof, roof rails, and wireless phone charging. I want to see the volume model – which I confirmed will be the $33,185 SEL Activity package – which pairs the base 191hp 2.5-liter non-turbo with all-wheel drive. I’m disappointed, though not at all surprised, that the only examples that journalists have been able to test have been the fully loaded turbocharged all-wheel drive models.

Have you ever seen those wobbly hitch-mounted cargo carriers obscuring the license plates on slow-moving SUVs – usually with a Yeti cooler and some camp chairs strapped down? Perhaps the Santa Cruz is more like that – a Tucson with a well-integrated, weather-resistant (when properly equipped) cargo carrier. Hyundai, inexplicably, would rather you not call it a truck. The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, it would seem to anyone watching, would be the first entrant into that category. Perhaps we’ve witnessed our own segment birth – or, really, re-birth – with the reimagining of the compact pickup truck market. I’m picturing, instead, the newsroom at The Truth About Buggies in 1884, with cigar-chomping editors looking at telegraphed press releases touting the first automobile, sending poorly-paid flunky journalists on junkets via train with a typewriter. What about those in the mid-Nineties covering the birth of the crossover – never mind, that probably wasn’t all that thrilling. Imagine the journalists in 1964 witnessing the birth of the pony car.

It’s probably exciting to be working in transportation media at a dawn of an all-new product category.
