About this vehicle
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL delivers standout value by including sought-after standard equipment—such as heated front bucket seats, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Blue Link Connected Car Service, and a rearview camera—that many competitors reserve for pricier trims. Analytical buyers prioritizing value, detailed feature breakdowns, and long-term cost efficiency will find this truck aligns with their research-driven approach. Those comparing spec sheets will appreciate the balance between standard technology, comfort, and utility, especially in markets like Lakeland, FL, where versatile vehicles suit both urban duties and outdoor excursions. The Santa Cruz SEL’s equipment list leaves little need to compromise or stretch for a higher trim, making it ideal for those who prefer to maximize features without inflating their budget. Performance value is strong thanks to the 2.5L I4 engine paired with an automatic transmission and FWD, delivering a blend of capability and cost efficiency. With EPA ratings of 21 city and 26 highway MPG, owners save on fuel compared to many traditional pickups. The independent suspension and auto-leveling rear setup provide a composed, car-like ride, while the inclusion of a tow hitch as standard means you avoid the upcharge competitors often add for basic towing functionality. Maintenance is simplified by proven mechanicals, further reducing running costs over time. Safety value is high, with a suite of standard features included at no premium. Every Santa Cruz SEL comes with four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, multiple airbags, and a rearview camera. Auto high-beam headlights and Blue Link Connected Car Service for three years are also standard, providing peace of mind and advanced connectivity without extra cost. Notably, while some rivals require buyers to step up to higher trims or add expensive packages for these technologies, they are built into the SEL’s base equipment. Feature content is where the Santa Cruz SEL truly excels for the money. The Activity Package adds practical enhancements like stain and odor resistant cloth seat trim, a cargo net, and additional convenience touches. Tech-savvy buyers benefit from SiriusXM radio, steering wheel mounted audio controls, and fully automatic headlights, all included as standard. Comfort is further elevated with power driver seat adjustment, dual-zone climate features, and heated mirrors. The remote keyless entry and security system round out a feature set typically reserved for premium trims in rival models. When comparing overall value, this truck holds its own against the Honda Ridgeline Sport and Ford Maverick XLT. While those competitors may appear similarly priced, the Santa Cruz SEL includes features—such as heated front seats, Blue Link services, and auto-leveling suspension—that can cost extra elsewhere. What’s included as standard equipment? The Santa Cruz SEL provides heated front seats, a power driver seat, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, SiriusXM, Blue Link, a tow hitch, and advanced safety features without requiring optional packages. Is this truck worth the price? Given its long list of included amenities and robust warranty, it beats many competitors on the feature-to-price ratio.
