The Hyundai Santa Cruz first showed up as a concept at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, and in the ensuing six years, we've been stoked about the idea of this little trucklet coming to life. Well, rejoice, fellow car nerds; the road-ready 2022 Santa Cruz is here. Making its debut Thursday, this might be the coolest little truckini since the Subaru BRAT.

You might be quick to think that the Santa Cruz is a midsize pickup truck, but it's actually much smaller than that. It shares its platform with the Hyundai Tucson crossover, meaning it's actually a unibody like the Honda Ridgeline, and it's at least 10 inches shorter overall than the Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tacoma and the aforementioned Honda. The Santa Cruz has a shorter wheelbase to boot, which should make it much easier to maneuver in city settings.

At least until the new Ford Maverick arrives, the Santa Cruz doesn't really have a direct competitor. If you think of this Hyundai as roughly the same size as a second-generation Chevrolet S10 pickup, you're in the ballpark.

Doesn't suit my needs, all I'm looking for in my next truck is towing capacity.

If it was just a single cab and had a manual, it might be useful for...someone.

Not sure the purpose of a truck bed that's smaller than the trunk of a Camry.
