What's New for 2026
You can look forward to easier acceleration in the new Hyundai Santa Cruz while merging and changing lanes around Paramus, thanks to a key powertrain upgrade. Hyundai replaced the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission in model-year-2026 XRT and Limited trims with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Adventure-Ready Trim Levels
- SE: this base model features a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 18-inch alloy wheels
- SEL: A step up, this trim offers roof side rails, heated H-Tex leatherette-trimmed front seats, and dual automatic temperature control
- SEL Activity: At the midrange, this trim incorporates a power sunroof, an integrated tonneau cover, and wireless device charging
- XRT: This sporty model builds in HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, 18-inch XRT alloy wheels, and 12.3-inch touch-screen navigation
- Limited: The top of the Santa Cruz line has Hyundai Digital Key 2 Touch app control support, 20-inch alloy wheels, and Bose Premium audio
Reliable Performance
The new 2026 Santa Cruz offers available HTRAC all-wheel drive for improved handling in diverse weather conditions, plus a choice between capable powertrains:
- New Jersey commuters appreciate the SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims for their peppy 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engines. They produce 181 pound-feet of torque, easing acceleration on the highways around Mahwah, and enable trailering up to 3,500 pounds, which is enough for an ATV or fishing boat.
- The XRT and Limited trims incorporate turbocharged 281-horsepower, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engines that deliver 311 pound-feet of torque, making them nimble across uneven terrain. They allow towing 5,000 pounds maximum, which is enough to support a small trailer or pop-up camper.
Interior, Technology, & Utility
Denville drivers laud the new Santa Cruz for its comfortable cabin, loaded with the latest in amenities. In lower trims, it's home to a sizable, easy-to-read 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Bluetooth and six-speaker stereo to keep you connected and entertained. Enjoy the convenience of dual curved displays as you ascend levels. The spacious in-bed trunk offers room for valuables, and its lockable tonneau cover helps protect them while you're out and about.
