Pickup Comparison of the 2022 Ford Maverick vs Hyundai_Global Santa Cruz. Which comes out on top in this head-to-head of two of the hottest utes of the moment? — via drivingdotca autonews auto pickuptrucks automotive
It’s not an insurmountable divide. Hyundai Canada’s all-options-in trim strategy for the Santa Cruz seems tailored to make the strongest launch impression possible. If Hyundai were to bring the US market’s ~$30,000, XLT-comparable front-drive Santa Cruz north, however, these two would likely be singing a closer harmony. But even as it stands, the top-trim Santa Cruz still comes in below Canada’s average new-car sale price.
The Maverick certainly isn’t going to take F-150 buyers out of their full-size trucks, but it could be a Ranger alternative for many people. I’ve even already heard of a contractor who’s buying a couple of them as light-duty work trucks, and that’s certainly not a stretch. I immediately liked the Santa Cruz when I first drove it several months ago, and I still do — it’s comfortable, it’s very well-equipped, and it’s very nice to drive.
Both answer their niches well and at attractive prices, but the bottom line is that the Maverick’s unmatched value sweeps this comparison. The Santa Cruz is a great product — the Maverick is just an excellent one.
