At Hampton Hyundai, we proudly offer one of the largest selections of new Hyundai models in the North Hampton area. We want to help everyone get a great deal on the vehicle that fits their needs the best, and with so many options, we’re sure we have one for you. If you’re shopping for a spacious vehicle to accommodate your lifestyle and fit your family, friends, and cargo comfortably, the Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Cruz are both great options. The Hyundai Santa Fe is a compact crossover SUV, while the Santa Cruz is a compact truck. The two vehicles share many similarities, but it’s the differences that make one a better fit for some than the other.
Hyundai Santa Fe vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz
Performance
Both the new Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Cruz come equipped with the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 182-horsepower and 181 pounds-feet of torque, allowing you to enjoy a commanding driving experience while traveling from Epping via State Rte 101. However, the new Hyundai Santa Fe offers slightly higher fuel economy than the new Santa Cruz does. The new Hyundai Santa Fe achieves and estimated 25 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The Santa Cruz has slightly less, with an estimated 22 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
Both vehicles also offer an available 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 281-horsepower and 311 pounds-feet of torque, letting you enjoy a stronger and more exciting performance on your trips around Newburyport, MA.
The new Hyundai Santa Fe offers impressive towing capability for a vehicle of its size, with 2,000 pounds towing standard, and up to 3,500 pounds of maximum towing when properly equipped, making it a great option for towing smaller boats, trailers, campers, and more. If you need more towing power, choose the Hyundai Santa Cruz model. It offers up to 5,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity, plenty enough to fit the towing needs of most any driver.
Design
The new Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Santa Cruz models both offer a comfortable and well-equipped cabin for you and your passengers to relax in as you’re traveling to Portsmouth. The new Santa Fe lineup offers 111.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, making it one of the more spacious vehicles in its compact crossover class. The new Hyundai Santa Cruz offers slightly less passenger volume than the Santa Fe, with 101.8 cubic feet of space for five passengers.
The new Hyundai Santa Cruz has a four-foot bed in the back, allowing you to fit larger objects and equipment, including all your beach gear on your way to North Hampton State Beach this summer. The new Hyundai Santa Fe offers 36.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seating, which is ample for all your storage needs. If you need to fit long objects, you can easily fold down the rear seats and take advantage of up to 72.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.
Technology and Safety Features
Both vehicles offer almost identical features throughout the lineup. All Santa Fe and Santa Cruz models come with a state-of-the-art infotainment system on an 8-inch touchscreen display, with the option for a 10.25-inch touchscreen. All models also have a suite of driver assistance features, including forward collision mitigation, lane keeping assistance, and more. However, the new Santa Cruz models have additional features that you want in a truck, including blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
