Hyundai's upcoming Santa Cruz pickup was recently spotted testing in South Korea.

Posted in AutoSpy, the disguised model doesn’t give many hints as to what lurks underneath, however, Hyundai has already confirmed it will commence production of the model in 2021 at its updated Montgomery plant in Alabama.

You can see the Santa Cruz seems to keep most of the shape of the 2015 Santa Cruz concept car, adopting the thin LED headlights and large grille upfront. At the back is a short tray bed. Speca for the model haven't been released but it is likely it will be based on a variation of the next-generation Tucson SUV’s monocoque chassis, which will be available in front and all-wheel drive and with a hybrid drivetrain.

"I was driving home today and saw these two test mules in parking lot and wanted to share them with the channel. It is not a how-to or a DIY but I think these are some neat little vehicles and wanted to share."
