2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz has seen the light of day in Detroit, and provides a compact size, and diesel engine. Korean giant says it is developing Santa Cruz listened to potential buyers. At first glance this seems like a fair copy of the Honda Ridgeline pickup and have much in common. Both vehicles are built on car platforms, and in the case of Santa Cruz that the choice fell on Santa Fe.

2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz is also compact in size, is smaller than most of the trucks for the middle class, such as Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma, while the cabin has no traditional four-door, but the back door was open and less from opposite side. To design done now legendary Peter Schreyer.

Santa Cruz has preserved many line with the rest of Hyundai offers, but it seems that the larger vehicles seem even better. On the mechanical side, hidden under the hood 2.0L diesel engine with 190 hp and 407 Nm of torque, but the plans for mass production quite different. In fact, Some offer could be based on two gasoline engines and 2.4L turbo and 2.0L atmospheric, with front-wheel drive as standard and optional for all four wheels.

Korean manufacturer, for 2016 Hyundai Santa Cruz stresses that are not paid attention to details such as maximum traction and load in a trailer or off-road driving because their research shows that potential buyers are not interested in these details. However, in today's conditions, it is difficult to expect success with a product like this, because it seems that Honda has told the same story when it debuted Ridgeline, and sales results have been very disappointing. Knowing the American obsession with power and performance, Santa Cruz would have a very limited number of customers and therefore remain short time to market.
