Hyundai Santa Cruz
What it says about you
Opinion
A small pickup that Hyundai insists is not a pickup, bought by people who wanted a Maverick and better styling.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
6 model years on record, 312 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 2. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2023 (accelerate), 2022 (accelerate). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2027 nothing on record 0 complaints
- 2026 3 recalls 4 complaints
- 2025 3 recalls 17 complaints
- 2024 1 recall 35 complaints
- 2023 accelerate 77 complaints
- 2022 accelerate 179 complaints
Source: NHTSA complaints, recalls and investigations, retrieved . A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints — compared against itself rather than against other cars, so popularity and age do not decide the answer.
