Miles Overview
The 2026 Santa Cruz is a compact pickup that blends SUV comfort with a small truck bed, a niche few rivals occupy. Its main competitors are the Ford Maverick and the Honda Ridgeline, though the Santa Cruz leans more toward car-like manners. The Santa Cruz drives more like a crossover than a truck, with responsive steering and a composed ride on pavement. The cabin offers comfortable seating for five and a practical bed with a locking tailgate and under-bed storage. Standard SmartSense safety tech includes forward collision avoidance and lane keeping assist, with an available 10.25-inch touchscreen. The SE is the entry-level Santa Cruz, skipping some luxuries of higher trims but keeping the same practical bed and cabin space. Its Smartstream 2.5L 4-Cylinder Engine makes 191 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, delivering 24 mpg combined and a smooth, car-like ride. Optional cargo accessories like the bed net and fitted liners turn the SE into a more versatile hauler without pushing the price up.
