Hyundai Santa Cruz

If you’ve ever wanted the comfort of an SUV with the utility of a truck, say hello to the Hyundai Santa Cruz—the bold and innovative Sport Adventure Vehicle that’s turning heads across Texas City, Galveston, League City, and beyond. At DeMontrond Hyundai, we’re excited to offer the Santa Cruz for drivers who want to work hard, play hard, and drive something that stands out from the crowd.

What Makes the Santa Cruz Different?

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is not your average pickup—and that’s the point. It blends the best of both worlds: the interior comfort and drivability of a crossover SUV, with the open-bed utility and rugged styling of a truck. Whether you’re commuting along I-45, heading to the beach for the weekend, or hauling gear to a job site, the Santa Cruz adapts effortlessly.

Power & Performance to Match Your Lifestyle

Under the hood, the Santa Cruz offers two powertrain options:

  • A 2.5L 4-cylinder with 191 horsepower
  • Or an available 2.5L turbocharged engine pushing out 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque

Paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, the Santa Cruz delivers smooth performance, sharp handling, and confidence whether you’re cruising the streets of Texas City or exploring off the beaten path. With up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, it’s more than capable of hauling trailers, boats, or weekend toys.

Open Bed Versatility with Smart Utility

Unlike any other vehicle in its class, the Santa Cruz features a short-bed truck bed complete with:

  • A lockable tonneau cover
  • Under-bed waterproof storage
  • Built-in bed lighting and power outlets

It’s perfect for tailgating at a Texans game, packing up surfboards for a Galveston beach day, or loading up plants for your next landscaping project. This bed was made for real-world flexibility.

Interior Comfort Meets Tech-Savvy Style

Step inside and you’ll find a surprisingly refined cabin with available leather-trimmed seating, ambient lighting, and a large digital gauge cluster. With standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus an available 10.25″ touchscreen infotainment system, the Santa Cruz keeps you connected whether you’re stuck in Houston traffic or heading down the Gulf Freeway.

Need to bring friends or gear? The second-row seats offer flip-up storage, and there’s plenty of space for road trips, everyday errands, or a spontaneous weekend escape.

Safety Comes Standard

The Santa Cruz is packed with advanced driver-assist features through Hyundai SmartSense, including:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Safe Exit Warning

Whether you’re navigating tight parking in downtown Texas City or cruising coastal roads, you’ll feel confident and protected every mile of the way.

Built for Texas Drivers

From local worksites to beachside getaways, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is built for how Texans live and drive. Its compact size makes it easy to park, while its durable construction and multi-use design make it ideal for the variety of lifestyles we see every day in the Texas City area.

It’s also fuel-efficient, practical, and—frankly—just fun to drive. Why choose between an SUV and a truck when you can have both?
