EPA announced the official fuel economy ratings for the upcoming 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz crossover pickup. The Santa Cruz will offer four powertrain options: 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive, same engine/transmission with AWD, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an 8-speed dual-clutch automated transmission, and the turbo with AWD.
