Whether you’re commuting through the suburbs, hauling weekend gear, or heading out on outdoor adventures, Gregory Hyundai in Highland Park has your next truck-meets-SUV ready to explore.

SE Trim — Smart Capability at the Right Price

The SE trim is designed for practicality and efficiency. It’s powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower and offers front-wheel drive standard with all-wheel drive available. Inside, you’ll find a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and convenient storage options including a lockable under-bed compartment. Outside, the integrated rear bumper step and sturdy tie-downs make it easy to load up and go. The SE is ideal for drivers who value versatility, technology, and everyday reliability.

SEL Trim — Added Comfort and Connectivity/h4>

Upgrade to the SEL trim to experience added refinement and convenience. This model builds on the SE with features such as heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Roof rails and proximity key entry add utility and ease of use, while the interior boasts premium materials that make every drive more enjoyable. The SEL is perfect for those who want comfort and technology without compromising the Santa Cruz’s rugged utility.

SEL Activity Trim — Built for Adventure

The SEL Activity trim is crafted for those who want their truck to match their active lifestyle. It includes all the SEL features plus practical upgrades like a locking tonneau cover, LED bed lighting, household-style power outlet, and a sliding rear window for extra ventilation. Inside, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and wireless charging add a modern, tech-forward touch. The SEL Activity is your go-anywhere companion, designed to support weekend getaways, outdoor hobbies, and everything in between.

XRT Trim — Turbocharged Power and Bold Style/h4>

For those seeking stronger performance and bolder design, the XRT trim delivers with a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine producing 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Standard H-TRAC all-wheel drive enhances traction and control across any terrain. The exterior features distinctive XRT styling cues — black cladding, unique wheels, tow hooks, and signature badging — giving it a rugged, confident look. Inside, the XRT adds navigation, leatherette trim, and exclusive branding accents. It’s a powerful yet refined choice for drivers who crave a truck that stands out and performs with confidence.

Limited Trim — Premium Luxury and Advanced Tech

At the top of the lineup, the Limited trim transforms the Santa Cruz into a truly premium driving experience. Powered by the same turbocharged engine and standard AWD as the XRT, the Limited adds 20-inch alloy wheels, genuine leather seating, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Technology upgrades include a surround-view camera system, ambient lighting, fingerprint start authentication, and Hyundai’s Digital Key 2 Touch system for seamless access. If you want luxury, performance, and innovation in one stylish package, the Limited is the perfect fit.
