Hyundai Santa Cruz goes into production

Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup truck production has started in the U.S., and it will hit the shelves very soon.

Six years ago, Hyundai showed a prototype of Santa Cruz. Still, only this year, the model appeared on the assembly line of the company's facility in the U.S. state of Alabama. We shall remind you that the official debut of the novelty occurred this April.

Hyundai Santa Cruz is a sports pickup. Today its only rival is a new Ford Maverick.

Hyundai Santa Cruz has two engines: a 2.5-liter "atmospheric" with 190 "horses" and 244 Nm, plus a 2.5-liter turbocharged unit with 275 hp and 429 Nm.

Hyundai has not yet announced the price of the new Santa Cruz.
