After what seems like years of waiting, Hyundai pickup. Well, Hyundai doesn’t call it a pickup. It’s a “Sport Adventure Vehicle”. And now, nearly three months after its, we have pricing.

is spread across eight trim levels and is not inclusive of an $1185 “freight” charge that will be applied to all models. There are three FWD trims: SE starting at $23,995, SEL at $27,190, and SEL Activity at $30,460.

There are a total of five all-wheel drive trims: SE AWD starts at $25,490; SEL AWD $28,690; SEL Activity $31,960; SEL Premium $35,680; Limited AWD $39,720.

This is a Hyundai, so the standard equipment list is long:

18-inch alloy wheelsLED taillamps and cargo area lightingIntegrated rear bumper side stepsRear privacy glassBody-colored side mirrorsWireless Apple CarPlay and Android AutoMolded composite bed (vs. steel bed)Lockable underfloor bed storagePower-locking tailgateRemote open tailgate via fobRear 60:40 flip-up lower cushions (vs. one-piece)Rear occupant alertDriver attention warningLane keeping/lane following assistIntelligent speed limit warningLeading vehicle departure alert

So how does this stack up against the Ford Maverick? Well, Ford has the Santa Cruz beat on a couple of fronts. The most obvious is price. The Maverick’s base price undercuts the Santa Cruz by $4,000. But again, Hyundai packs in the value. Especially when you consider its industry-beating warranty. You can also mark one in the Maverick’s column for efficiency, The Maverick should be in the 40 MPG range. But ultimately it’ll come down to buyer preference. The two are closely matched in everything from power to towing capacity. Whichever a buyer chooses, it’s just nice to have two small pickups on the market again.

At $7,000, Will This 1976 Cadillac Seville Make For A Quick Sale?
Several of the photos in the ad for today’s Seville are shot in what looks to be a cemetery. That may be too morbid for some, but could be overlooked if the price makes the car a killer deal. The rabble was roused in the comments on yesterday’s ....
