Drivers have the choice between the standard 2.5-liter, four cylinder engine that carries 191 horsepower, or to upgrade to the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that supports up to 281 horsepower. The upgraded engine is impressive in its car category.
The Santa Cruz has pretty average fuel economy, coming in at 26 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. But, it does have the ability to tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is particularly impressive for a tow truck of its size and stature.
The Ioniq 5 is only available in three trims, SE, SEL, and Limited. It’s more expensive than the Santa Cruz, with prices ranging from $45,000 to $55,000.
There are two engine options depending on the type of drive you want, but both are battery powered. For rear drive, the battery engine carries 225 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just over seven seconds. For all-wheel drive, the battery can hold 320 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
Similar to the Santa Cruz, the first engine option isn’t anything special, but the second one definitely has us raising our eyebrows, especially for an electric car.
2022 Hyundai Genesis GV70
The Genesis GV70 is a powerful car that has some futuristic looks and features. The 3.5-liter, twin turbo, V6 engine carries up to 375 horsepower and comes with an eight-speed automatic. That combination delivers power and speed that blows the competition out of the water. We also love the fingerprint reader to start the car.
Passengers will love the heated rear seats that recline in the Genesis GV70, and small touches like red seat belts, a 14.5-inch touchscreen navigation system, and clean, sharp exterior lines make it clear Hyundai definitely took their time making this masterpiece.
Prices range from $41,000 to $52,600 for the Genesis GV70.
