2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz - What the other videos aren't telling you! 

Your video is really helping me...I love the Santa Cruz..I drove one two years ago at the dealership..and tomorrow my 2024 limited is being delivered..so thanks..!!...wish it had the hologram speed on the front window..I also have a 2022 Sante Fe which I also love driving

Love my Hyundai Santa Cruz I first saw one about 10months ago and knew its whAt I wanted. I’m a 73yo woman getting lots of people asking me about it. My 30something sons love it too. Youve told me a couple things I wasn’t aware of (like locking trunk) so I’m headed out to play with it.

Heck I own one of these (Sage Gray Limited here in the US) and I'm learning some new things - I've messed around with most of these settings already but some of the descriptions aren't 100% clear so this is great info. The no physical buttons is a downside regardless when you do have to adjust something you have to look away from the road - I was sort of used to it having owned a Ford Edge Sport that used the same capacitive touch "buttons" - they weren't as good as these but it's still a downside. Loving my Santa Cruz though and am very happy with the cartruckthing!

Definitely like your videos. Keep them coming! I do wish there was a hybrid option.

THESE are the information videos I was searching for, thank you!

Excellent informative video. You are on spot with the speed of your info.

Just bought a 2024 Santa Cruz Ultimate....love it! Thanks for so much info I didn't know!

Your not boring and you are better than others. I have picked up 4 sheets of plywood and it was no problem. The guy was laughing but not anymore! All the guys were amazed ! Another secret. Just bounce the rear and it pumps it up ! Very kool

Just bought a Santa Cruz. Happy to learn about it!

VERY HELPFUL video and only one I’ve seen that covers it in this kind of detail..Thanks so much

I like your unique videos.....good info! Concise and to point. I am hoping to own one of these eventually, along with a Carnival for the Mrs.

Got my cruz last week - video was helpful to set up my controls - Thank you

Hi Peat always a day late and a dollar short lol .We drove our Santa Cruz From Chester Va to Cocoa Beach Florida and back! 2 ,236 miles total according to the Trip computer! It got us home ahead of the Hurricane a day before it hit . Our Cruzer now has 19k on it ! I discovered a new trick she will do . Change Dash colors and save them. I Love the Teal green or blue. The more I drive in the more I Love it. But ! I still hate the frinkin phone wires. My 19 Soul Plus didn't need that

I love my Sage Ultimate ...but I'm still in the camp who wants buttons and knobs in the center stack!! I can live with it, because I loooooooooooooooove this vehicle, but buttons and dials would make me happier. I get why they have it though .. if it was all controlled through physical buttons and knobs, all of the automated software-based controls would be lost. So I accept the trade-off, even if it's not my personal preference. My first thoughts on the 'cube' display were that it's weird. Turns out, it's the one I use all the time now. It's the only mode that gives me a digital speed readout while still being able to use the center of the display to show other vehicle information. I normally leave it on the adaptive cruise display. I find it interesting to see how the ACC spots vehicles and adjusts based on where you set the follow distance. I do still find both dash displays a bit too bright at night. They're fine at night if you're somewhere with street lights, but when you're up in the vast nothingness of NW Ontario in the dark ... they're still quite bright at level 1. I've seen some reviews complain about "wasted space" next to Android Auto/Apple Car Play on the 10.25" display - and that's because the "use split screen" option is off by default. Turn that on and the little side display is actually quite useful. Especially if you're using say Google Maps while listening to SiriusXM/FM/AM radio - it's displayed with your song info on the side. Weather/forecast info, clock, compass with lat/long/elevation ... I really like having all of that stuff there. I wish there was a mini settings screen available on that split too though. That would be sweet. Or that it gave you a way to flip back to Sirius/FM/AM if you are streaming audio from AA/CP. Still have to flip back to the radio display and then back to your phone projection. If it's there while you're listening to the radio, having it there - with your presets - when you're not would be fantastic. Got my winter tires/wheels ordered last weekend, went with 18" wheels since that's what I wanted in the first place. Could not convince the dealer to swap the 18s off their Trend demo for the life of me. LOL Still pretty tough to find rims that fit the specs of the Santa Cruz, and it really doesn't show up anywhere under the "select vehicle" options. If anyone is looking, the pattern is 5x114.3, offset is +49.5, and bore is 67.1mm. That's on an 18x7.5 wheel. Even searching online I could only find a handful, none matching the offset. Should have them next weekend, just in time to beat winter up here. Keep doing what you do, Peter! I always appreciate these videos that go into more than, "There are 7 of these little Easter eggs molded into the trim," reviews. LOL I'm still pretty sure that two weeks in I haven't found or adjusted some of the options. It's really quite extensive. The infotainment "quick reference" (English only ... French version is separate) is a good half-inch thick book. Almost half as thick as the entire owners manual!

NOT boring [22:47] excellent content - in the U.S., was looking at the Ford Maverick, but I think I just changed my mind. Thanks for the content, great job! Now, I wish I could actually even see one in a showroom, they are sold before I can even get in for a test drive in New Hampshire. Reminds me of the Baja from years ago.😀😀 It was on my Christmas list - new subscriber here cheers!

The recirculation function is best for city tunnel use. If you regularly drive through tunnels it will automatically move to recirculation mode.

Thank you Mr. Canadian Man my dealership salesman told me I couldn't change the gauge cluster unless I changed the drive mode.

Just saved this video for when I buy my Santa Cruz in a couple weeks 😎. Is the ambient lighting in all the trim or just the sel premium and limited?

Really disappointed we didn't get what you got. My next one I am coming to Canada if it doesn't change! It would be worth it. But ! Can I do that Pete. Rely serious! Love Rusty Clarke

Those 4 square scribe lines on the top rail trim can be trimmed for usage of pop up hook.

just bought a 2023 Santa Cruz Limited, does it have a "Favorites" when listening to Sirus radio-not stations, but songs

Very informative! Wow, I just added a hitch for my motorcycle hauler. I’m so thrilled I won’t have to do anything with the rear shocks to handle a 400lb motorcycle hanging off the back. I didn’t know this before watching this video!

Did you fix the transmission problems with this vehicle?

Should I wait for a 2023? Will the ultimate version come with wireless car play perhaps? Seems over due.

Hello! Tengo una Santa Cruz y me encanta. Mi pregunta es y preocupación, ¿no tiene aviso de audio de alerta en la cámara de atrás?

Do you have a part number for the mud flaps on that particular SC? I bought factory ones but they’re WAY too small to keep rocks kicking up on the roads I take daily…I need more protection. Thanks!

Very good info and greatly explained , thanks

Excellent Video, Could you show a video on how to set the pre-sets on the radio

Great video, I can’t wait to pick mine up next week yay

Yall are awesome. Can I buy a Canadian Santa Cruz next time?

Thank you for the detailed Videos on Santa Cruz, I booked Ultimate in Hampton Gray with a green interior.

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone said it’s a Subaru BRAT. Sigh. Pull up a picture of a BRAT. It looks nothing like it. Besides the BRAT was replaced by the Baja. But nobody remembers the Baja. Non car people just like saying the word BRAT. One legit criticism is Hyundai should have had split fold-down rear seats with a pass-through to the bed. Would’ve eliminated a lot of complaining about the 4’ bed.

I am in BC and have one on order ($500 deposit). I checked today ( June 22) and was informed I am #146 on the list and should get it in about 2 or 3 months (hopefully 🙄. They said I should be getting a 2023 model..

Should’ve had memory seats.. would be more appealing as well for the presets.

Extremely useful video! Thanks a lot

Did you notice the T-Slots next to the tonneau cover rails down both sides of the bed. You can slide the right size bolts in the rails up next to the cab and use them to mount other accessories.

Recirculation plus will activate before entering a tunnel. Pretty cool feature and an alert message pops up.

Thank you for the detailed tutorial, very informative.

I love the Santa Cruz in black because the color blends in with the plastic cladding.

I got a night edition love it

Our tonneau cover does not go all the up to the front like it’s supposed to. Very hard to move. Any thoughts?

Great info that I appreciate. Thank you so much. I’ve subscribed!

My Limited doesn't have forward warning sensors. It doesn't brake if I approach the car or a pedestrian in front of me. The dealership told me that some Limited's don't have that feature. It's basic. How can I activate it?

I bought a 2022 santa cruz ambient lighting use to work now I tried to set it up and don't see the menu to set it up any ideas what it could be?

Been watching these new car videos since you did the new Tucson and have been more eager to get my OMVIC license started the automotive certification course today

Merci beaucoup J’adore tes vidéos

I have a 2023 Sonata SEL and i have tried a 256gb,128gb,64gb and a 4gb flash drives from sandisk and PNY ,bot any cheap junk and have formatted with windows file explorer to fat32 and only a few of the songs that are on the drive are recognized. I have wrote to Hyundai and they were quick to respond and told me to see a local dealer and i did that but no one there seems to have an answer to help me . I don't know what to do,i miss having a CD and have thousands of songs on my PC ,but the car audio system does not recognize hardly any of my music.

Towing; does it come with a tow package?

thanks for sharing this information! This is a very peculiar vehicle that I would like to own.

Just bought my new Santa Cruz. Loving it. Drives amazing and the turning radius is great. Question can you load on top of the tonneau cover? If so recommended weight? Love the videos.

Have the LTD-LOVE it!! Thanks for the 'tips' Peter! The Ghost Black is awesome ,better than my 2015 SanteFe Ltd.

How do u set the screen for radio I press radio every time to see what station I’m on

Onterio Mills or Canada? If mills what's your leases looking like for this vehicle?

Are there drain plugs in the bed. I know there’s one in the trunk.

Good job as always thks , ordered one on the 23/09/21 here in Red Deer , how long does a normal order take?, it is the best of both worlds for sure. Test drove it and I could sit behind my wife and I am 6'2". Does the bed extender come stock or can you order one?

Super helpful. Really enjoy your posts.

Can you copy from Guest settings to another person's settings?

Is it possible to have the auto hold and lane keep assist stay on instead of hitting the button every time you start the vehicle

When is the KIA KIA Truck coming out Please

Can you set individual seat and mirror settings with the profiles?

Can't find any info on the transmission is it new or proven technology

Didn't know new vehicles have this much tech in them.

Front camera mount has a little bit of shade or dark spots?

I begin to understand the 'adventure' branding. I do campsites so I am jealous of the drive system.

Did they add wireless CarPlay to the limited version yet? Or maybe next year?

I am now getting 34mpg with the Filter You don't need a after market Cold air system with this Vechical Hyundai really did their homework. Love yall Pete

Does this have that trailer system that Ford has where you can see behind your trailer while backing up?

How do the front led lights pulsating I believe if hazard light are on ? Or does headlights have to be turned on then the hazard lights turned on?

Great informative video! I was wondering, in personal settings, can the seat position and outside mirror settings be saved? Are these mirrors folding? What is the exterior width, including mirrors? Thanks.

Are there drain plugs in the bed?

How dry does the bed stay when the tonneau is closed? I have guitars and amps...

I am having a HUGE problem with my radio ID. I tuned to 0 and typed in what's on the screen and it keeps saying my radio ID is wrong. Help! 😢

Thanks for this and props to you!!!

Why on earth did Hyundai not give the terrain option to US customers. We get mud and sand in the states too

As well as tunnels there is a foul stretch of NJ tpke from oil refineries.

Now if I can find a Phantom Black Limited anywhere close that the dealership isnt jacking the MSRP I'll be good to go

I have a 2022 Santa Cruz Preferred trend and would like to make some of the adjustments you are demonstrating but my menus are not the same as what you show ie vehicle settings. I am in Ontario Canada.

I love my Santa Cruz

Do a vid on how to do radio pre-sets

Why does the remote start not work all the time? Am I doing something wrong holding it?

Does the Homelink allow you to set up different driver's seat position?

I'll be finally getting my drivers license soon, as a bioptic driver because i was born with a visual impairment, and I've been researching the kind of vehicle that i want, and i love love love the look of this vehicle, but I'd like to ask you all, for someone who has a vision impairment, but who has proven to be a safe driver with the use of my bioptic telescope, what vehicle has the best safety features?, of course i want to be over the top safe, for myself, my passengers, and most of all other people on the road. Would you all suggest i can safety operate this santa cruz?, will these safety features be sufficient for me?, if not, what would be the best vehicle?, i really want an suv for the visibility or a compact pickup like this one. Thank you all in advance, I'm excited and nervous all at the same time, to finally be able to drive and have that independence is life changing 😊

Great video!! How to get the cube display? Cannot figure it out.. Thanks!

Thanks, I just bought one, I thought I’d have to have my daughter ride around with me for a week to sort out the technology

i heard say in another video tha the AC can be set to blow out of other slots on teh dash other than just the main vents.. if that makes sense. u

If I buy one from Canada will it offer the different drive modes and terrain modes will it be based on the km system-metric system or can I configure it for the states since That’s where I live

I have av23 santa cruze when I'm in normal it switches to snow mode 9n it's own can you tell me why it will do this please

I purchased the limited on Monday..the finance manager said It.will be a truck plate will go on the cruz ..is that true

Keep doing this videos please

what's the best color?

Does this have auto stop/start?

Is that the Dark Grey interior? It looks lighter than others I have seen.

When is this coming out as a PHEV?

Do you happen to know what the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule is? For example, every 10,000 miles or every year (which ever comes first)?

Do the rear seats only flip up? And is there a rear center console? Awesome vehicle!

Why Always the Premium or Limited?

Is there any trim model of the Santa Cruz that offers memory for the drivers' seat?

Vem para o Brasil 🇧🇷 Santa Cruz 😍

Kia has in my opinion the coolest looking key fob

Mine came with Nice Mud guards with my activity package.
