[QUOTE="Weather Man, post: 16605322, member: 137766"] Hyundai doesn't want you to call the [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/auto/alabama-built-hyundai-santa-cruz-pickup']Santa Cruz[/URL] a pickup "truck." The [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/auto/make/hyundai']automaker[/URL] has released a preview video of its first pickup for the U.S. ahead of its full reveal on April 15. [IMG]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2021/04/640/320/d249c09f-santa-cruz-1.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] (Hyundai) In it, Design Manager Brad Arnold said the premise behind the crossover-based vehicle was that it is "not a traditional truck." "Everything, from its proportions to its lighting conveys that it's not a truck, it's a Santa Cruz," he said. [IMG]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2021/04/640/320/santa-cruz-2-1.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] (Hyundai) The compact, four-door model is expected to share much of its underpinnings with the Tucson SUV, similar to how the larger [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/auto/honda-ridgeline-pickup-tougher-2021']Honda Ridgeline[/URL] is built on the same platform as the Pilot. [IMG]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2019/11/640/320/cruz.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] The Santa Cruz was previewed by a concept revealed at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (Hyundai) Details on the drivetrain have not yet been released, but Hyundai is pitching it as a daily driver for urban dwellers who also like to engage in a little adventure now and then. [URL='https://www.facebook.com/FoxNews/videos/the-2021-hyundai-elantra-was-named-north-american-car-of-the-year-but-does-the-t/194521872211164/']FOX NEWS CAR REVIEWS: 2021 HUYNDAI ELANTRA[/URL] Arnold also said that it provides open and closed storage, suggesting it may have a truck under the bed floor like the Ridgeline does. [IMG]https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2021/04/640/320/121a8534-santa-cruz-3.jpg?ve=1&tl=1[/IMG] (Hyundai) The Santa Cruz is set to be built at [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/auto/alabama-built-hyundai-santa-cruz-pickup']Hyundai's Alabama manufacturing facility[/URL], and while there's nothing quite like it on the road today, there will be soon.
