Is Hyundai looking to take on the compact pickup truck segment next?
Making a surprise at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the Korean automaker unveiled the Santa Cruz concept, a compact pickup that features a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine with 190 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. According to Hyundai, the concept is capable of achieving 30 MPG on the highway and will have a similar footprint to a compact crossover.
The company also said the design of the concept is to go after the crossover and sedan shoppers and as a result towing and payload were not priorities during the design process.
