And now, Hyundai has finally shown us that it’s ready to take the plunge by unveiling the production version of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz “sport activity vehicle.” Hyundai doesn’t actually call it a pickup, referring to it as a “segment-busting sport activity vehicle.” It’s a small compact pickup based on the same stuff that forms the bones of the latest Hyundai Tucson SUV, regardless of what Hyundai would like to label it. Hyundai has teased us with its idea of a pickup truck for years with concepts, hints and rumors flying as it eyed entering one of the most popular global vehicle classes. Powertrains: 190-horsepower (estimate), 2.5-liter four-cylinder with eight-speed automatic transmission or 275-hp (estimate), 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission front- or all-wheel drive Looks like: A beefy Hyundai Tucson with a pickup truck bed Competes with: Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline, upcoming Ford Maverick?
