    Exterior Color Palette

    Hyundai offers a range of exterior color options that inspire. Deciding what color suits you best might be challenging, considering how they make you feel.

    California Sand transports you to Pacific Coast beaches, with the sand’s heat, the sea’s smell, and the freedom to explore nature. Phantom Black evokes the deep, dark nights spent camping in the Sequoia National Forest.

    Hampton Gray reminds you of steely Fresno skylines and weekend urban adventures where you are calm, confident, and ready for anything. Atlas White makes you think anything is possible, and you can face life with a clean slate.

    Blue Stone is reminiscent of Native American turquoise pendants, like the ones found at San Joaquin Valley. Sage Gray gives you a peaceful, easy feeling, reminding you to remain steady and on course, no matter where your adventures take you.

    Interior Color Options

    Hyundai offers interior colors to match the exterior you choose, providing balance through subtle contrast to create the perfect cabin. For example, the California Sand exterior pairs with a black interior for sharp contrast, highlighting the adventurous exterior. 

    All other exterior colors come with a choice between a black or gray interior. These interior palettes play well with the exterior hues. Black and gray blend harmoniously with Phantom Black, Hampton Gray, and Sage Gray, enhancing each color’s natural beauty. At the same time, these interior colors contrast with Blue Stone and Atlas White, proving that being different can be a good thing.

    The SANTA CRUZ SE and SEL trims have stain-resistant premium cloth upholstery, providing plush comfort on every drive. Hyundai uses its H-Tex synthetic upholstery on its Night and XRT models. H-Tex has the beauty of leather with increased durability. The top-of-the-range Limited trim has premium leather-trimmed seats among its many refined features.

    Customization and Style

    The ability to choose from these exclusive colors inside and out allows you to craft the perfect SANTA CRUZ for you. You can match the color to your bold, strong, and carefree nature or select colors to create a peaceful atmosphere. 

    Color Durability and Maintenance

    Hyundai uses a four-stage process to create a finished coat of durable and beautiful paint on every Santa Cruz. First, the vehicle undergoes a unique electrocoat bath that prepares it for paint. Next, they apply a primer coat of paint. Primer coats bond to the metal and protect against rust and corrosion but also provide a better bonding surface for the next coat, preventing paint from slipping, peeling, and flaking.

    Next, they apply a base coat. Typically, they apply three coats for the proper color and protection against chipping, peeling, or flaking. This base coat is the final color of your Hyundai but not the final step. 

    The last is the application of a clear coat, which gives long-lasting exterior paint protection and a beautiful shine. As a result of this meticulous process, Hyundai paint lasts longer than how long most people own their cars. 

    To preserve and protect your Hyundai’s paint, we recommend routinely washing it to remove dirt, dust, and chemicals from the road that can harm the paint. 

    We also recommend regularly waxing your Hyundai for added protection. The wax coat forms a barrier against the dirt, dust, and debris so it can’t penetrate the paint. You don’t need to wax after every wash, but it does wear away from weather and even washing over time. If you require specific paint maintenance, please contact our service center.

    Comparison With Competitors

    The Hyundai SANTA CRUZ has color schemes that are visually appealing and emotionally evocative. Competitors such as the Ford Maverick offer ten colors, but they could be more vibrant and varied. For example, Maverick has Carbonized Gray Metallic, Cactus Gray, and Iconic Silver color options, but all are shades of gray. 

    Toyota has nine colors for the Tacoma but delivers the same monotony. Tacoma has an Underground, Celestial Silver Metallic, and Wind Chill Pearl, all shades of gray. Toyota does have Solar Octane and Supersonic Red that pop, but the rest are standard blue, white, and black.

    The GMC Canyon does a better job than most, with two distinctive colors out of eight options. For instance, they have Solar Flare Metallic, a bright yellow with visual appeal, and Deep Bronze Metallic, which has a futuristic quality. Still, they have standard red, blue, white, black, and gray options that don’t stand out.
