The base SE, SEL, and SEL Activity trims feature a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 191 horsepower. For those seeking more power, the XRT and Limited trims come equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 281 horsepower. Both engines utilize advanced GDI and MPI technology with CVVT for optimal performance and efficiency.
All Santa Cruz models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC technology and a floor-console mounted shift lever.

The turbocharged models come exclusively with AWD, ensuring confident handling in various conditions.
Despite its performance capabilities, the Santa Cruz maintains respectable fuel economy. The naturally aspirated engine achieves up to 30 MPG highway with FWD, while the turbocharged variant delivers 25 MPG highway with its standard AWD configuration.
