If you’re interested in a quieter drive while behind the wheel of the 2026 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ, it comes with a standard acoustic-laminated windshield that helps block out road noise and create a more serene environment. For those longer trips, the optional 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support ensures that you can stay comfortable without straining your back.

For those planning to carry extra gear, the SANTA CRUZ is equipped with rear 60/40-split tip-up lower seat cushions, allowing you to expand your storage space and accommodate larger items that wouldn’t fit in the cabin otherwise.
Exterior
The 2026 Hyundai SANTA CRUZ comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, though you have the option to upgrade to 20-inch wheels if you prefer a higher stance and a more commanding presence on the road. The standard projector bi-LED headlights ensure that visibility is never an issue, even during night drives or in poor weather conditions. If you’re bringing bulky items like tables and chairs to Universal City Park, you'll appreciate the available roof side rails designed to secure larger equipment and gear that wouldn't fit inside the vehicle. Additionally, the available XRT design dark grille enhances the truck’s rugged appearance, adding an extra layer of style that will definitely turn heads wherever you go.
