TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearComment
Even with the non-turbo engine the Hyundai Santa Cruz manages only 21 mpg city and either 26 mpg (FWD) or 27 mpg (AWD) highway in the EPA's testing. With the turbo engine and AWD it scores 19/27, not much better than the larger, 4,436-pound Honda Ridgeline's 18/24. My real-world driving suggests that the Hyundai's highway figure is optimistic. In driving on rural roads and highways with some heavy-footed acceleration but much steady-speed cruising the trip computer reported an even 20 mpg. In straight highway driving it reported about 23 mpg. The Ford Maverick might manage no better with its own turbocharged engine. But Ford will also offer its truck with a hybrid powertrain claimed to be good for 40 mpg in the EPA's city cycle. (Note: the hybrid will only be available with front-wheel-drive.) Hyundai could offer the Santa Cruz with a hybrid engine fairly easily; the closely related Tucson crossover is already offered in hybrid form. EPA mpg with standard AWD: 38. But will Hyundai do this? see full Hyundai Santa Cruz review
