Hyundai Santa Cruz price South Africa
Why is the Hyundai Santa Cruz Special?
Santa Cruz, along with its bold styling, breaks open all-new segment territory, both for Hyundai and the industry as a whole. Open-bed flexibility coupled with closed-cabin security meets the changing everyday needs of its adventure-oriented buyers, while powerful and efficient engines and superb manoeuvrability ensure it is a pleasure to drive in urban or off-road environments.
What kind of engine does the Hyundai Santa Cruz have?
As far as engines go, the Hyundai Santa Cruz will be available with a choice of two powertrains. First up is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with an estimated 141 kW and 244 Nm. This engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The 2nd engine is a 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that packs 205 kW and 420 Nm. This motor is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and there are shift paddles on the steering wheel.
How big is the Hyundai Santa Cruz?
The Santa Cruz is a little on the small side in terms of overall footprint compared to something like a Ranger with a length of 4.97m. For reference, a Ranger double-cab is 5.35m long. The wheelbase is set at exactly 3m (Ranger is 3.2m) while the all-important loadbay is 1.32m long compared to a Ranger which is 1.55m long. It gives you some idea of where Hyundai plans to position the Santa Cruz. It won’t be a double-cab bakkie as we’re used to but more of a lifestyle double-cab that easily fits in the city.
