According to the experts on our Shrewsbury, NJ dealership team, the Hyundai Santa Cruz can tow 3,500 to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Its body style is unique and iconic, combining a pickup's open bed with the comfort, handling, and safety of an SUV. Engine power and vehicle weight impact towing capacity. Here's what gives the Hyundai Santa Cruz its impressive towing capacity.
Hyundai Santa Cruz Trims Available Near West Long Branch
A fairly recent addition to the Hyundai fleet, the Hyundai Santa Cruz comes in five trims. As you browse our Hyundai inventory near Freehold, you'll find exciting models, including:
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SE
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL
- Hyundai Santa Cruz Night
- Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Premium
- Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited
The SEL Premium and the Limited comprise the uppermost trims. All five trims benefit from a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, while the Night, SEL Premium, and Limited trims provide access to an inline four-cylinder turbo engine. The turbo raises the Hyundai Santa Cruz's standard 191 horsepower to 281 for an extra boost on the Tinton Falls, NJ roads ahead. The SE and SEL trims have front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC.
Found only on select Hyundai models, SHIFTRONIC allows you to manually override automatic transmission and shift gears. Upper trims of the Hyundai Santa Cruz offer all-wheel drive and an eight-speed Wet Dual-Clutch transmission with paddle shifters for additional control around Neptune, NJ.
Mounted on the steering wheel, paddle shifters function with the precision of an automatic transmission, but their look and their manual operation bring a racecar vibe to the Hyundai Santa Cruz and its driver-focused cockpit. The closeness of the shifters makes them easy to manage quickly and safely while navigating around Red Bank.
Hyundai Santa Cruz Trailer Pre-Wiring
It's what's under the hood of the Hyundai Santa Cruz and under its carriage that helps it tow tons around Asbury Park easily. Under the carriage, there's standard four-pin trailer pre-wiring on the SE and the SEL and standard four- or seven-pin trailer pre-wiring on the Night, SEL Premium, and Limited trims.
