2023 Ford Maverick vs. 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz

With punchy powertrains that promise fuel efficiency on the city and highway, the 2023 Ford Maverick easily catches the attention of those who are looking for compact pickup trucks for daily use. It has a stylish cabin plus it has that SUV-feel to it.

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz also promises good fuel economy as well as a composed ride and handling. Find out if it has the energy to topple down its Ford rival.

Design & Style

The 2023 Ford Maverick has a SuperCrew body that measures 121.1 inches long on the wheelbase and 199.7 inches in total length. It has a width of 72.6 inches and a height of 68.7 inches. All these figures, except for the width, defeats what the Crew Cab 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz offers. This one has a width of 75 inches. The cargo area has a four-foot-six-inch bed for the Maverick and a four-foot bed for the Santa Cruz.

With bold and attractive interior styling, the 2023 Maverick easily catches the attention of car buyers out there. All the elements are in their right places, and while some may find components underwhelming, there is beauty in their placements that make them standout. The Santa Cruz shares that modern vibe, and its cabin has been well-put together. Both rides can sit up to five passengers.

Technology & Safety

Using the 2023 Maverick's infotainment system with an eight-inch touch screen is no hassle at all. The ride exudes functionalities that modern users will truly appreciate. It has six speakers, a WiFi hot spot and two USB ports. It shares these very same features with that of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, but it is noticeable that the latter collects fingerprints and dust, and the screen can be disturbing to use when placed under direct sunlight.

Safety wise, both rides fit a rearview camera, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and forward automatic emergency braking as a standard. The Santa Cruz also has rear seat alert, lane keep assist, and driver drowsiness monitoring in the standard set.

Performance

When it comes to engine performance, these two cars share the same result that reaches 191 horsepower. The difference lies in the fact that the 2023 Ford Maverick has a base gas and electric combination, while the Hyundai is equipped with the regular unleaded inline-four engine.

The Bottom Line

Both cars share the same results in terms of engine performance and have the same charm inside. When looking at dimensions and reliable technologies, you will appreciate the 2023 Ford Maverick more than you would appreciate the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The winner is no less than the Ford.
