There's probably some truth to that but I think it's a little longer though. I do know this, Hyundai/KIA/Genesis just continue to kill it out thereI'm no electric car fan but all 3 of them have really nice ones coming out, especially Hyundai with the Ionic5

Re: HYUNDIA SANTA CRUZ
I love how car companies are bringing lighter duty pick-ups to the market, not everyone needs massive tow ratings or the ability to rock crawl. These offer car/SUV comfort but with the versatility of load bed. I just wish the likes of the Maverick and Santa Cruz were made available to the Australian market as I believe they would sell strongly.
In fact, we made this sort of car for decades in Australia, the OG 'lifestyle' vehicle...............the Ute -
These were made on the same platform as the sedans and wagons, with the same interiors and powertrains. Combined with a powerful V8, these things offered comfort and performance that any pickup could only dream of. These days, the Australian market pickups are basically all motivated by asthmatic small capacity diesel engines and are all about towing caravans and trailers.

Re: HYUNDIA SANTA CRUZ
It is a Tuscon with the back chopped off. It's a direct competitor to the Ridgeline, though a little smaller, and the in-bound Maverick.
I'm not a truck person at all, but if I had the mind to buy a truck, this would be the class of vehicle I'd look at. I don't need to haul tons of cargo in the bed or the ability to pull my house off it's foundation. Something with a bit larger cargo area than a SUV to haul garden supplies, the occasional large power tool, or something like a kayak is all I need. They drive/ride far better, not to mention much easier to park and maneuver in traffic.

Re: HYUNDIA SANTA CRUZ
I have one of these in my condo garage and it is not even a pick up truck. And that’s OK with me , but you have to realize it’s a Tucson with a package tray that’s exposed to the air in the back you can’t even get a bicycle back there one wheel hangs over the back of the truck. It’s supposed to be a sport activity vehicle ,something you use to maybe go up to a campsite with all your camping stuff in the package tray…

They probably offer that cage extension for longer items

Re: HYUNDIA SANTA CRUZ
I had no idea the bed is so short. If it won't even carry a bike, the usability isn't very good.
I bet you can buy one of those bed extension things that you mount with the tailgate down to provide extra space. I remember seeing a lot of those when Ford built that small truck based on the old Explorer. That bed was really short too.
