It's a Santa Cruz. Hyundai's long-awaited pickup truck is almost here. However, per the automaker's latest teaser, this isn't a pickup truck. Rather, it's simply the Santa Cruz . Obviously that's a bit of marketing-speak because it certainly is a pickup truck, albeit a small one. The video above comes from Hyundai's design team in California, and it offers just a bit of insight into the development of the Santa Cruz. The chief takeaway is that the team approached the vehicle with the mindset that it's not a traditional truck. It's designed for "urban adventure seekers" that might also seek occasional adventures outside suburbia. Some people might say that also describes a majority of traditional truck owners, but Hyundai's message is clear. It sees the Santa Cruz existing in its own category.

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Pickup Spied Up Close In A Parking Lot
A world premiere should be happening soon. It's no secret that Hyundai is currently working on its first global pickup truck. More likely to be called the Hyundai Santa Cruz , named after the truck concept that the automaker touted at the 2015 NAIAS, we've reported several sightings of the Tucson-based pickup before. Now, YouTube's 80% Garage saw a Santa Cruz prototype resting at a parking lot probably after a long day of testing. The prototype does give away some essential details, although it looks very similar to the one we've seen before that's testing on a frozen lake .

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Compact Truck Previewed In Revealing Teasers
It's finally happening. Save the date: April 15. It was back in January 2015 when Hyundai unveiled the Santa Cruz concept to signal its intentions towards developing a small pickup for North America. Fast forward a little over six years later, the production model is a couple of weeks away from its big debut. For now, these surprisingly revealing teaser images will have to suffice. Premiering April 15, the compact truck appears to be heavily related to the latest Tucson in terms of design, at least as far as the front fascia and front doors are concerned. As seen on the compact crossover, some of the light modules are part of the intricate grille, helping the Santa Cruz stand out. It's not like Hyundai has too many rivals to worry about anyway, though the upcoming Ford Maverick should give the Santa Cruz a run for its money considering Blue Oval's truck heritage the South Korean marque certainly lacks.

2022 Ford Maverick Spied Without Any Camo During Photo Shoot
Here's the new compact truck before you're supposed to see it. No more speculative renderings and no more spy shots as the wraps have come off Ford's smallest truck, weeks (if not months) before the Maverick's official debut. A TFLtruck reader took several images of a camo-free pickup on the streets of San Diego where the Blue Oval was shooting an ad for its hotly anticipated unibody truck. Ford's worst kept secret appears to be a high-end version (First Edition?) as denoted by the body-colored wheel arches. That would make sense considering automakers shoot videos of a range-topping trim level since that one looks the best in press images and videos. The sub-Ranger truck looks to be ready to take on the Hyundai Santa Cruz and logic tells us it will be mechanically related to the newly released Bronco Sport.
