The 2026 Santa Cruz offers two compelling engine options. The SE, SEL and SEL Activity trims feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder producing a capable 191 horsepower. Drivers in Champaign who crave more muscle can opt for the available 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, standard on XRT and Limited trims. This potent turbo engine cranks out 281 horsepower for brisk acceleration. An 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters provides smooth, responsive gear changes.
Around Terre Haute and beyond, the Hyundai Santa Cruz demonstrates impressive efficiency for its class. With the standard engine and front-wheel drive, it returns an EPA-estimated 25 miles per gallon combined. HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is available for enhanced traction and control across varying road conditions you may encounter in Illinois.
The pickup bed on the Hyundai Santa Cruz provides Urbana drivers with flexible cargo-carrying ability. An available integrated tonneau cover keeps items in the bed secure and out of sight. Inside the cabin, rear seat cushions flip up to accommodate taller items. Handy underfloor storage compartments offer additional space to organize gear.
The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz can tow up to 5,000 pounds - enough to pull a small camper or boat for weekend getaways from La Fayette.
