Part pickup, part crossover, this 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL is built for buyers who want an open bed without committing to the size and driving feel of a traditional truck. Finished in Bluestone with a Gray interior and just 35,821 miles, it combines a comfortable five-passenger cabin, useful cargo versatility, and a compact footprint that works especially well for daily driving around Wesley Chapel and Tampa.

The naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Its power delivery is smooth and predictable, making the Santa Cruz easy to drive in traffic, around town, and on longer highway trips. The unibody construction gives it a more crossover-like ride and handling character than a conventional body-on-frame pickup, while the low step-in height and manageable dimensions make it friendly in parking lots and residential garages.

The open cargo bed is the feature that separates the Santa Cruz from an ordinary SUV. It gives owners a place for dirty, wet, oversized, or awkward gear that they may not want inside the passenger compartment.
Beach equipment, bicycles, landscaping supplies, camping gear, coolers, and home-project materials can ride out back while the cabin remains clean and available for passengers. The bed’s compact size also means the vehicle remains easy to maneuver in New Tampa or downtown Tampa traffic.

SEL equipment adds the comfort and convenience expected from a well-equipped daily driver. Heated front seats are useful during cooler mornings, while keyless entry, push-button start, remote start, power accessories, and automatic climate control simplify everyday use. The cabin provides supportive seating for five and practical storage for phones, bags, and smaller items. A power sunroof opens the interior to more light and gives the vehicle a more relaxed feel on evening drives or weekend trips.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility make smartphone integration simple, and Bluetooth®, satellite radio capability, USB connectivity, and steering-wheel controls keep audio and communication functions accessible. The straightforward infotainment layout avoids unnecessary complexity, which is valuable in a vehicle designed to move easily between workday tasks and recreational use.

Driver-assistance technology adds useful awareness in traffic.
Verified features include Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, a rearview camera, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, brake assist, traction control, and electronic stability control. These systems are useful when backing from busy spaces, navigating multilane roads, or driving through sudden Florida rain.

Alloy wheels, the distinctive wide grille, sculpted bodywork, and integrated bed give the Santa Cruz a look that stands apart from both compact SUVs and conventional pickups. It suits someone who needs occasional truck utility but spends most of the week commuting, running errands, or carrying passengers.

Under the established automatic qualification rules, this Santa Cruz qualifies as Ford Blue Certified. Its Blue Certified coverage includes a 139-point inspection, a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, 24/7 Roadside Assistance, and applicable FordPass Rewards Points. No Gold or EV certification language is applied.

Parks Plus adds applicable protective treatments for the paint, headlights, and interior along with VIN etching, roadside assistance, identity-theft protection and restoration, stolen-vehicle assistance, collision loyalty credit, cabin sanitizer, and antimicrobial protectant. For a buyer who wants the comfort of a crossover with the freedom of an open bed, this low-mileage Santa Cruz SEL offers an unusually useful combination for commuting, weekend projects, and recreation throughout Tampa Bay.
