Hyundai Santa Cruz Crossover Concept
Hyundai deserves kudos for creating a vehicle that's different than anything else in the market. Intended to woo millennials, this vehicle combines the functionality of a crossover with the practicality of cargo space you find in a truck. Hyundai says it's designed to appeal to "urban adventurers," whose active pursuits require hauling plenty of large items. This cohort doesn't want to make trade-offs between style and practicality.
The arresting design definitely makes a statement. The front has the look of a luxury car with an upright, hexagonal grill. The rear incorporates a feature usually seen on pick-ups: an expandable flat that can accommodate longer cargo through a sliding drawer function. What’s most impressive is the fuel economy of this large, five-seater: 30 miles per gallon.
