See How the Hyundai Santa Cruz Compares to the New Ford Maverick in Selma, CA
The Hyundai Santa Cruz debuted recently as the first sports activity vehicle crossover from the Hyundai brand. This flexible pickup truck crossover is a great choice for off-road travels and daily driving alike, with plenty of versatility and capability. While the Hyundai Santa Cruz is, in many ways, in a class of its own, it does have competitors in the pickup truck segment. One worthy challenger, which recently returned redesigned to the streets, is the Ford Maverick. Let us tell you more about how these two trucks compare here at Selma Hyundai. You will find our dealership less than a 20-minute drive outside of Fresno, CA.
Engine and Performance
While the Ford Maverick does come available with more powerful engine choices, shoppers who choose its base trims might be disappointment with this truck's performance. The Maverick's standard inline four-cylinder engine generates 162-horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque, while the Hyundai Santa Cruz's engine, which has the same cylinder count, generates up to 191-horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. This engine gives the Santa Cruz the greater towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. with front-wheel-drive. The Maverick's standard towing capacity, with 4X2 performance, maximizes at 2,000 lbs.
Interior and Convenience
Both trucks come standard as crew cab models, with seating for up to five passengers. However, the Santa Cruz has a bit more breathing room to offer in its cab with up to 101.8 cubic feet of passenger volume, which provides more front and rear headroom for all passengers, as well as more shoulder space for you, your copilot, and your backseat passengers.
The Santa Cruz also offers a few more conveniences which will come in handy during your morning ride to work in Hanford, CA, including wireless smartphone pairing through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and premium cloth seating. The Ford Maverick provides full rear bench seating, which limits the number of interior configurations you can make to free up cargo and passenger space. This truck also offers a standard cloth seat upholstery with wireless smartphone pairing costing extra.
Safety and Warranty
Both trucks share several the same features through their suite of driver-assist safety applications, helping prevent collisions and incidents on the streets in Visalia, CA. However, the Hyundai Santa Cruz goes one step further, providing Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. Some of these apps have equivalents on the Ford Maverick, albeit for a higher price, while some are unavailable on the Maverick truck entirely.
To give you some extra protection against defective components that wear out with everyday use, the Hyundai Santa Cruz comes backed by the comprehensive benefits of America's Best Warranty. Hyundai Assurance warranties include 60 months/60,000 miles (whichever comes first) of basic coverage with 120 months/100,000 miles of powertrain coverage as well. The basic warranty from Ford covers the Maverick for only 36 months/36,000 miles while its powertrain warranty covers this truck for 60 months/60,000 miles.
