What are the specifications and pricing of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz in Canada?

It is offered in four trim levels: Essential (from $38,999), Preferred ($43,499), Trend ($46,499), and Ultimate ($50,999). Two powertrains are available: the standard naturally aspirated Smartstream 2.5L producing 191 hp (with an 8-speed automatic and optional AWD), and the turbocharged 2.5L producing 281 hp reserved for AWD Trend and Ultimate versions (paired with a dual-clutch DCT automatic).
