Hyundai Santa Cruz
The Santa Cruz is a compact unibody pickup that shares its architecture with the Tucson crossover. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that serves up 281 horsepower along with 311 lb-ft. of torque. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission come standard. The Santa Cruz can tow up to 5,000 pounds. While only 4.5 feet long, the cargo bed offers multiple tie-downs and convenient rails. The bumper steps come in handy, too.
