Hyundai has announced the updates to the 2024 Santa Cruz pickup, with the biggest change being the addition of the new XRT trim level. The Santa Cruz XRT, expands Hyundai’s XRT lineup, which includes the Tucson XRT, Santa Fe XRT, and Palisade XRT.
The Santa Cruz XRT replaces the SEL Premium trim level and sits above the Limited trim in the lineup. It looks a bit more rugged thanks to the addition of wide fender flares, side steps and bed rails. The front and rear fascias have been darkened and inside there are black H-Tex seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Under the hood the XRT version is powered by the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, that’s mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
