Hyundai spilled more details on one of the year's most anticipated vehicles this week: the 2022 Santa Cruz pickup truck. The little ute reignites a long-dormant segment in the US, that being the true compact pickup truck. It remains to be seen how buyers will react to a tiny truck from a Korean automaker, but nevertheless, the Santa Cruz looks seriously cool.

In a basic configurator, Hyundai added details on the features buyers will find on each trim level, starting with the entry-level SE. Both front- and all-wheel drive are available across the board, but the SE model will only come with the 2.5-liter inline-four engine and an eight-speed auto handles shifts. It makes 190 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, so no, this isn't a desert runner by any means. Still, the least expensive model will handle 1,748 pounds of payload and tow 3,500 pounds when hooking up something to tow. Inside, an 8-inch touchscreen handles infotainment duties and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are onboard.
