Modern driving requires ample power and hybrid efficiency. Luckily, one of these trucks goes the extra distance—literally.
Under the hood of the Hyundai Santa Cruz, you’ll find a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which produces 191 horsepower. You’ll get decent fuel economy with this engine: an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG, to be exact.
As for the Ford Maverick, its performance balances power with efficiency. Its standard 2.5L hybrid engine churns out 191 horsepower—the same horsepower output as the standard Santa Cruz. However, the Maverick’s hybrid powertrain delivers a higher fuel economy: an EPA-estimated 42 city/33 highway MPG!*
With this high level of efficiency, the 2022 Ford Maverick can travel up to 500 miles of range on a single tank of gas.**
To keep you comfortable while you’re on the go, heated seats and 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seats are available for both trucks. Once you’re on the road, place your smartphone on the available wireless charging pad to keep it powered up for the entire drive. On warm afternoons, let in the sunshine through the optional power tilt/slide moon roof.

From heavy-duty jobs on worksites to weekend excursions at campsites, the Maverick and the Santa Cruz easily adapt to your cargo needs. In fact, both trucks come with six standard tie-downs! Confidently secure your cargo in the bed of your truck and head out on your adventure.
No matter what type of cargo you’re taking with you, the Maverick’s standard FLEXBED™ makes it simple to organize with multiple dividers. The Santa Cruz, too, comes with a customizable bed. However, the Maverick’s standard multi-position tailgate has three key positions—open, mid, and closed—to effortlessly adapt to your changing cargo needs. While the Santa Cruz has an adjustable multi-function tailgate, it only has two positions: assisted open/close.
