2022 Ford Maverick vs 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

Serving Wellington, OH

In 2022, two new compact truck models enter the scene and vie for your attention. One of these is the impressive Ford Maverick, designed to handle big jobs without sacrificing maneuverability. The other new addition to the compact truck market is the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Hyundai dubs this pickup truck a sports adventure vehicle, and it is the first pickup truck offered by Hyundai. As fresh options for you to consider, you need to know what these models bring to the table before making your next purchase.

Exterior

The 2022 Ford Maverick has the bold appeal of the popular Ford F-150 in a smaller package. This truck boasts practical ground clearance and a flat angle through the hood, and a subtle definition around the wheel fenders. The large LED headlights wrap around the sides of the chrome-on-black grille. The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, on the other hand, has a molded look with a round nose and a sharp angle through the windshield. The sides are rigidly defined, and this gives the truck a geometric look. This theme continues on the nose with the segmented grille and headlights.

Interior

The Maverick is available with a crew cab that accommodates five passengers. The interior is designed with quality, durable materials, and ample technologies. In fact, some of its equipment includes two USB ports, a wireless hotspot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, forward collision mitigation, an auto climate control system, and more. On the other hand, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz has a nice interior with a 10.25-inch infotainment system, an auto climate control system, smart device integration, and a few other standard features across all trim levels.

Performance

Your comparison of the Maverick to the Santa Cruz continues under the hood. There, you will find the Maverick’s 2.5-liter, four-cylinder hybrid engine. It generates 191 horsepower, and it is associated with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. An alternative is a 250-horsepower, turbo 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine linked to an eight-speed auto transmission. It is available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Santa Cruz is also available with two powertrains. One of these is a turbo 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that gives off 191 horsepower. The other option is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed auto dual-clutch transmission.
