The production model of the Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup concept which is expected to go head to head with the Honda Ridgeline has been delayed until 2020. This news has been confirmed by Mr. Brian Smith - Hyundai Motor America’s Chief Operating Officer.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup won't hit the production line until 2020
The Hyundai Santa Cruz was granted a seal of approval in 2016 to start the production in 2018 and hit dealerships as 2019 model year. However, since CEO Dave Zuchowski was replaced, the truck’s assembling was then put back. Last year, the Korean car manufacturer again changed its decision and now a 2020 market debut seems to be very reasonable.
