Is Hyundai Ever Going to Make a Pickup Truck?

Hyundai has been at the forefront of vehicle innovation for decades, and have introduced many groundbreaking models that have revolutionized the automotive landscape. But one thing that Hyundai has yet to do is to produce a pickup truck. Hyundai has ventured into many different types of vehicles, from sedans to SUVs, but they have never taken the plunge into producing a pickup truck.

In recent years, there have been rumors that Hyundai might be looking into producing a pickup truck. In 2020, Hyundai filed for a trademark for the name “Santa Cruz” which could potentially be used as the name of their first ever pickup truck. This has caused excitement amongst potential buyers and speculation about what a Hyundai pickup would look like.

The idea of Hyundai producing a pickup truck is certainly intriguing, especially given the fact that they are well known for their engineering prowess and ability to produce quality vehicles. A well-built and reliable Hyundai pickup could potentially be very popular amongst those who are in need of a good quality but affordable truck.

However, it is worth noting that there is still no concrete evidence to suggest that Hyundai will be making a pickup truck anytime soon. Despite filing for the trademark for “Santa Cruz” in 2020, there has been no further updates or news about this in recent months. It is also possible that the trademark was simply filed as an insurance policy in case they ever decide to go ahead with producing a pickup truck.

Conclusion:

At this time it seems unlikely that Hyundai will be making their own pickup truck any time soon. While they may have filed for the trademark “Santa Cruz” in 2020, there has not been any further updates or news about this since then. It remains to be seen whether or not they will ever decide to venture into this area of vehicle production but until then we can only speculate.
