2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz Interior Features

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz release date is not expected to bring significant changes to the Santa Cruz interior. We anticipate minor tweaks to its trim packages and upholstery options, but the same great tech and comfort features from 2022 should be here, ready to please.

No matter if the available 10.25-inch digital instrument display or heated and ventilated eight-way power driver's seat from the 2022 model excites you, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz should keep the hits rolling. You can get a Bose® premium sound system, leather seating trim, stain and odor repelling upholstery, wireless smartphone charging, and much more with a new Hyundai Santa Cruz for sale.

2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz Engine & Performance Specs

Whether you're looking for a competent and efficient commuter or a thrill-seeking adventurer, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz will offer a powertrain option for your lifestyle.

With the current 2022 model, you can choose the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine to get 191 horsepower, 181 pound-feet of torque, and an EPA-estimated 21/26 MPG (city/highway)¹ with FWD. HTRAC All Wheel Drive (AWD) is optional for this engine and adds some exploration-ready capabilities to the mix.

Step up to the 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for thrills with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Complemented by standard HTRAC AWD and an EPA-estimated 19/27 MPG (city/highway)¹, this turbo power combines the best of both worlds.
