Hyundai’s little trucklet is trying to grow up a little for 2025. That is to say more “truck” is on the way in the form of generous fender and rocker panel cladding, more off-road wheels and tires with the all-new XRT model, as well as a more rugged grille design across the board. There’s also a new tow mode.

Inside, an optional full-length digital dash containing on dual 12.3-inch displays replaces the split pods from the previous model (lower trims get a single 12.3-inch display for infotainment) and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard on all trims.

Power remains the same, with a single 2.5L turbo 4-cylinder as our only choice in Canada. It makes 281 hp and 311 lb-ft.

When is the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz coming?

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is expected to launch on the market in summer 2024, so very soon.
