While we still don't have pricing in Canada and the trims/options are very different up here vs. USA. I'm trying to get a sense of what the price will be.
To help distill it down, I'm trying this using the top model of the Santa Fe as the baseline, as what comes equipped on the base models are different as well there are differences amongst the other trim levels Canada vs. USA.
Using the top model, seems to compare spec for spec, so here goes;
Not including extra dealer fees, state/provincial taxes etc and not ticking any accessory boxes.
Santa Fe Calligraphy - $42,250 USD + $1185 freight = $43,435 Total
Santa Fe Calligraphy - $47,819 CAD + $1925 freight = $49,744 Total
Effectively a 13% premium CAD vs. USD
So using the same top model trim, not ticking any boxes. Keeping freight the same as in the Santa Fe example and adding 13% to the price of the Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz Limited AWD = $39,720 USD + $1185 freight = $40,905 USD
Santa Cruz Ultimate AWD = $44,884 CAD + $1925 freight = $46,809 CAD
Point of reference, in Canada, the base model 2022 Honda Ridgeline Sport is $45,535 + $2000 freight = $47,535
(note the Ridgeline Sport in Canada comes with more standard options than in the US, like sunroof)
So there you have it, a loaded Santa Cruz SHOULD come in slightly less than a base model Ridgeline in the Great White North.
