2022 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ
vs 2023 Toyota Tacoma in Cumming, GA
When there isn't a body style in the market that can meet your every need, what does Hyundai do? Make a new one, and call it the first-ever Sport Adventure Vehicle. The new 2022 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ combines the versatility of an SUV with the capability of a pickup truck, creating an entirely fresh take on the modern vehicle. Plus, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds and get up to an EPA-estimated 27 miles per gallon on the highway. Talk about the best of both worlds. Drive in all kinds of weather with the confidence-infusing available HTRAC all-wheel drive system, a grounding drivetrain that lets you take sharp curves or slick roads with ease. Load up the sheet molded composite bed with your gear and coolers, close the multi-functional tailgate with just a press of a button and get started on your adventure. Now you don't have to choose between space for friends or the horsepower to get them places. Get both with the new 2022 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ.
Every newcomer faces its fair share of critics. Let's see if the Hyundai SANTA CRUZ has what it takes to meet a challenge from the new 2023 Toyota Tacoma, an icon in the truck world with a year's worth of new innovations.

It's always embarrassing when a manufacturer jumps the gun. Not only is the new 2023 Toyota Tacoma priced almost $3,000 more than the new 2022 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ, it offers much less in terms of technology, comfort and safety. Definitely not worth the price hike. Choose the Hyundai SANTA CRUZ and enjoy a massive available 10.25-inch touchscreen (the perfect hub for messages, audio controls, apps and more) and an available heated steering wheel (for cozy winter drives without frigid fingers). Your backseat passengers can spread out with 36.5 inches of rear legroom (compared to only 24.6 inches in the Toyota Tacoma), and while they get comfortable, you can configure the settings on the many safety features before starting on your journey. Driver Attention Warning, Rear Occupant Alert and Safe Exit Warning are all unavailable when you choose the Toyota Tacoma, but with the Hyundai SANTA CRUZ, all features are included (either on the base or higher trims) for additional peace of mind.
