The Honda Ridgeline has been a staple on job sites in the Pleasanton area, while the Hyundai Santa Cruz is a newer model that is just starting to pop up around Austin. If you’ve seen both vehicles in person, it’s easy to think that they look similar and should serve the same purpose. Looks can be deceiving, because only the Honda Ridgeline actually classifies as a mid-size truck! The Hyundai Santa Cruz is technically a Sport Adventure Vehicle (SAV), which means that even though it has a bed attached to its rear end, it lacks the power of a true pickup. Compare Honda Ridgeline vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz below to learn which model is really a better choice for your carryall needs!
Whether you’re on the job or clocking out to pursue a new adventure, you want to feel supported by a strong engine. The Hyundai Santa Cruz has a weaker 2.5L 4-cylinder engine under the hood, producing far less power than what most New Braunfels-area truck shoppers expect. Meanwhile, the 3.5L V6 in the Honda Ridgeline outperforms Hyundai’s SAV; compare the Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. Honda Ridgeline performance specs to learn more:

You’ll have an easier time loading lumber, kayaks, and other lengthy items in the Honda Ridgeline because it has a longer bed. Moreover, not only will you get greater cargo volume with the Ridgeline truck bed, but you also get the exclusive In-Bed Trunk® for additional concealed storage space! This feature is not available on the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
The Ridgeline vs. Santa Cruz makes for an interesting Honda vs. Hyundai comparison, but at the end of the day, you get a more dynamic vehicle in the Honda Ridgeline. Look for the Honda truck among our current offers, and feel free to reach out to our finance center with any questions.
