"Where can I find a compact truck that's easy to drive and can tow 5,000 lbs.?"
The 2026 Santa Cruz, with its powerful Turbo engine and smooth new transmission, offers the complete package.
Adventure-Ready Power & Performance
The 2026 Santa Cruz lineup offers two refined engine options. Critically, the Turbo model received a major enhancement for the new model year:
| Powertrain Option | Trims Available | Max Horsepower | Max Towing Capacity |
| Standard Gasoline | SE, SEL | 191 HP / 181 lb-ft | Up to 3,500 lbs. |
| Turbocharged | XRT, Limited | 281 HP / 311 lb-ft | Up to 5,000 lbs. |
- Major Update for 2026: The standard 8-speed Automatic Transmission now replaces the previous DCT on the turbocharged engine. This provides a smoother, more reliable driving experience, especially in stop-and-go traffic.
- HTRAC All-Wheel Drive: Available on the base trims and Standard on the XRT and Limited, the HTRAC AWD system gives you the traction you need for snowy Western Maryland winters and muddy trailheads.
- Terrain Mode Select: The rugged XRT trim gains a new Terrain Mode Select with specialized setting for Snow, Mud, and Sand, enhancing off-road confidence.
Innovative Utility: The Integrated Truck Bed
The Santa Cruz offers a unique combination of utility and security that no traditional truck can match.
- Secure Bed Space: The truck bed features a multi-functional integrated, lockable tonneau cover (available) to protect your gear from the elements and theft.
- Underground Storage: A sealed, lockable underfloor storage bin with a drain plug allows you to safely stash tools or even use it as a cooler for tailgating.
- Impressive Towing: "How much can the Hyundai Santa Cruz tow?" The turbocharged engine allows the Santa Cruz to tow up to 5,000 lbs. when properly equipped, making it highly capable for utility trailers, light boats, and campers.
- Digital Integration: The Refreshed interior styling includes a large 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which is standard across all trims.
