Frequently Asked Questions

What is the factory warranty on a 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz?

The vehicle comes standard with a 5-year or 60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. It also includes an unmatched 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covering the engine and transmission. You can read the full details on the official Hyundai warranty page.

What are the trim levels for the 2026 Santa Cruz?

The lineup features five distinct configurations: SE, SEL, SEL Activity, XRT, and Limited.

How many people can the Santa Cruz seat?

The vehicle is a compact four-door utility vehicle that comfortably seats up to five passengers. Families in Delaware County will appreciate the spacious rear seating and the premium interior materials.

What are the new XRT Terrain Modes?

New for 2026, the rugged XRT trim introduces exclusive Terrain Modes. By turning a dial, you can select profiles for Mud, Snow, or Sand, which actively adjust the HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system to maximize traction in harsh conditions.

Does the Santa Cruz have a dual-clutch transmission?

No, Hyundai has updated the powertrain for 2026. The XRT and Limited trims have dropped the previous Dual Clutch Transmission in favor of a traditional, smoother-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission.

Is the Hyundai Santa Cruz All-Wheel Drive?

The vehicle comes standard with Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). However, Hyundai offers its highly capable HTRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system as an available upgrade across the lineup.

What is the SEL Activity trim?

The SEL Activity is a distinct trim level that builds upon the standard SEL. It adds highly sought-after lifestyle features, including an integrated tonneau cover, a conventional power sunroof, and a roof side rail system for mounting outdoor gear.

What is the gas mileage of the Santa Cruz?

When equipped with standard Front-Wheel Drive, the vehicle delivers excellent fuel economy at up to 22 City and 30 Highway MPG. If you opt for the more powerful Turbocharged All-Wheel Drive models, you can expect around 18 City and 25 Highway MPG.

Does the Hyundai Santa Cruz require premium gas?

No, both the standard 2.5L engine and the 2.5L Turbocharged engine run perfectly on regular unleaded gasoline. You do not need to purchase expensive high-octane fuel for your daily commutes.

Does the Hyundai Santa Cruz feature wireless Apple CarPlay?

Yes, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are standard features. You can explore the full suite of interior technology on our comprehensive 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz overview.
