The 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz was refreshed last year and carries over with minimal changes. Sante Cruz now uses a more traditional eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission replacing the eight-speed dual-clutch. Inside, the dashboard features a panoramic curved display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. The XRT trim has an exclusive grille and exclusive front and rear bumper fascia designs, front tow hooks, wrench-inspired XRT-specific 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and adds Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor. XRT gains Terrain Mode for mud, snow, and sand for 2026.
