So Hyundai finally dropped the pricing for the Santa Cruz and YIKES. A loaded Hyundai Santa Cruz will be $7,000+ over a loaded Maverick. At that price you can get a Ford Ranger Supercrew 4x4 Lariat Lux.

price is competitive and we knew there's no way Hyundai can beat ford specially with all the research and development that went into it. Gmc is making less than 20 dollars for every ev they sell in china because it's all about market share for them as I see the Santa Cruz as a good seller in Latin America if they ever sell it overseas.

my prices are after destination. Aka Sticker MSRP.
but Ford will definitely outsell Hyundai in Latin America. They have owned that market for compact unibody trucks for decades.

Before tax breaks I can. Especially in China. It’s all about cornering the market.

Here's the press release from Hyundai as well for the Santa Cruz pricing. After reading through it the Maverick continues to look more enticing to get.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 12, 2021 – Hyundai today revealed pricing and packaging details for its highly anticipated Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle, starting at $23,990.

The flexible open bed and cutting-edge connectivity are packaged in a highly maneuverable all-wheel drive platform that is equally at home in urban and adventure-focused environments.

I bid them good luck. They will sell some of these SC, but the unit number sold won’t come close to Ford‘s Mav. The SC won’t crash and burn by any means And they make quality vehicles. Ford doing what they do best building trucks will capture the market for this segment.

This ^^^. Its important to compare apples to apples. I have a reservation on a SC, and a Mav on order, because I can't decide until I drive them both, or at least drive the SC and rule it out or buy it, and then move on to the Mav. The price difference at the top end is not very much, and you get more with the Hyundai feature wise, at this price point, but for about 3k. It is far less than a 7k difference like the OP stated, though.

Bed size and payload, almost identical. <2" and <100lb diff.
Towing goes to the SC at every level, on paper, but the Mav offers a 7pin trailer connector option driving off the lot.

Better tech and comfort for the Hyundai interior, but Mav is more industrial (a look that is growing on me).

I would say its a draw. If you want FWD and don't tow, get the Mav Hybrid. Otherwise, I think its <2-3k apart at each level. The SC with AWD is pretty close in price to the Mav 2.0T AWD with more equipment.

I think styling will be the major differentiating factor.

If you look at the hyandai specs they don't even a hybrid available! At least it looks that way to me.

They don't. Thats why I said if you are getting FWD and don't tow, get the Maverick. If you need to tow, or want AWD, the base Santa Cruz AWD comes in close to the price of the Maverick FWD Hybrid XLT (the SE has features more on parity with the XLT), and can to 3500 lb, which is much better than the hybrid and almost as good as the 2.0T.

Thats why I said its almost a draw if the FWD Hybrid doesn't fit your needs. If it does, its just the best option, period.

I should have been clear, I have a 2.0T Mav and a 2.5T SC on order/reserve. I don't know if I can live with the Hybrid for my use cases.

The Santa Cruz looks bigger there, but from what I've read about the specs the Maverick is actually bigger?

I think it has to do with the angle that the photo was taken at.

I don't think this is much of a surprise but in its first full month of sales the Maverick is already outselling the Santa Cruz. In October Ford sold 4,140 Mavericks and Hyundai sold 1,848 Santa Cruzs
