Plus, the history and future of small trucks
By Consumer Reports
Main theme: In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz, which, ironically, was officially discontinued days after we bought one for testing.
Our podcast panel discusses the history and future of small trucks, explains why Hyundai ended production of the Santa Cruz, and answers a question from a Santa Cruz owner about why it received low scores in our cargo capacity assessment.
