Honda Ridgeline vs Hyundai Santa Cruz: The Power to Have Fun

Honda Ridgeline vs Hyundai Santa Cruz Annandale NJ

Driving down the road with the windows rolled down and the wind caressing your hair is one of life's simple pleasures. Whether you want to blow off some steam after a day at work or spend your weekend wandering from place to place, you want your truck to support you.

The Honda Ridgeline and Hyundai Santa Cruz are two trucks you could use to have fun around town and beyond. The 2023 Santa Cruz comes standard with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine offering 191 horsepower, which is enough to help you visit your favorite local hotspots or cruise down the highway with the music blaring.

However, we have to shout out the Honda Ridgeline for its impressive 280 standard horsepower, sure to deliver the extra thrills you've been hoping for. The standard 3.5-liter V6 engine offers exciting performance that’ll leave other drivers in your dust.  

Honda Ridgeline vs Hyundai Santa Cruz: How Much Can You Tow?

Honda Ridgeline vs Hyundai Santa Cruz Annandale NJ

Fun-loving people like you want to see the world in style, enjoying your favorite hobbies and new activities you’ve never tried before. Can you rely on the Honda Ridgeline or Hyundai Santa Cruz to tow your necessary gear?

The Hyundai Santa Cruz can tow up to 3,500 pounds on the base model, so this truck will satisfy if you want to break out your fishing boat, a small travel trailer, or a pair of kayaks. However, if your large family or large social network means you were hoping for a super-spacious camper, you might be left wanting.

The Honda Ridgeline model’s base trim, however, can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, which gives you a little extra towing capacity to play around with. This model can tow the same fun-time gear as the Santa Cruz, and you can upgrade to a bigger boat or trailer as you tick items off your travel bucket list!

Honda Ridgeline vs Hyundai Santa Cruz: Ready for a Tailgate?

You can use your truck bed for so much, whether it's transporting the fertilizer you just bought at the garden center or having a tailgate party next time your favorite team is playing. Both the Honda Ridgeline and Hyundai Santa Cruz offer this much appreciated flexibility!

Both models offer standard power tailgates, so feel free to get creative. You can easily transport items for your home renovation project or hang out with your crew and stargaze while eating s’mores on your next camping trip. 

However, if you want ample space to stretch out and watch the stars, the Honda Ridgeline offers superior truck bed volume: 33.9 cubic feet compared to 27.0 cubic feet in the Santa Cruz. Another feature unique to the Ridgeline is the Lockable In-Bed Trunk®—easily store your valuables before joining your family in the water on your next beach day.


Honda Ridgeline vs Hyundai Santa Cruz: The Winner Is…

The 2023 Honda Ridgeline and 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz are two capable trucks to take you around Annandale, Clinton, and Somerville, NJ, and Easton, PA. However, if we had to recommend one to you, we’d choose the Honda Ridgeline due to its impressive standard horsepower, superior towing capacity, and versatile truck bed.
