Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) celebrated the launch of the 2022 Santa Cruz sport adventure vehicle on June 22. The Santa Cruz joins the Sonata and Elantra sedans and Santa Fe and Tucson SUVs on the Montgomery assembly line. This addition marks the first time HMMA has produced five vehicles at once.
The Santa Cruz features a secure, open bed area which includes a lockable tonneau cover and hidden bed storage for diverse gear-carrying flexibility.
HMMA recently completed a plant expansion project to support adding the Santa Cruz to HMMA’s product mix. The addition of the Santa Cruz will further enhance HMMA’s ability to adjust its vehicle production with market demand and stay competitive in the ever-changing automotive market.
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz will begin arriving in U.S. dealerships later this summer.
