N54 with just over 100k km, the price is pretty cheap imo. All the 1 and 3 series on autotrader are more km at that price or $10k more for 50k km less.

The new Hyundai Santa Cruz "truck". This pictures shows how useful it is. Capacity for 5 humans and 2/3rds of one bike. You guys really nailed it.

Not too big of a big in my opinion if it has a proper mounting system. A workable solution would be four wheel rails/tracks built into the floor and a clamping mechanism on the top of the tailgate to secure the bike frame. With that you could easily stand up four bikes hanging over the tailgate. It might need some sort of support arm though to keep the front wheel/handle bars straight.

At that size of bed, I'd rather it would just be a hatchback. This thing is basically a crossover with the back chopped off.

My point is it's barely a truck. It's an SUV that they hacked the cover of the rear end off of. You couldn't even get a pair of skis in there. I understand trucks have gotten way to big, but this seems to end it's usefulness at hauling a tree upright home from the nursery.

It doesn't even look like they bothered with a cabin pass through gate like some of the shorter trucks have done to make them marginally useful. Even moving an 8 foot 2x4 would be awkward with this.

I kind of like it - it's different which is a wonderful thing in car design. Not everyone needs to haul 4x8.

That said, if it's within $5,000 of an F-150 this will be a sales turkey.

I actually thought the interior was sized like an SUV, but apparently not. Tight fit in the back seats. To many sacrifices here.


Spoiler!

As a two seater it would have been amazing.

I'm just annoyed that it's yet another vehicle that claims to be a small truck that isn't a small truck. And I like small trucks, so this hurts.

I haven’t seen a decent small truck yet (that isn’t a prototype or 20 years old).

My goalie bag wouldn’t even fit in that ‘bed’.

Does the Tacoma count or is that still too big?

Like I say, all they had to do was make this a single cab and they'd have been golden. Probably quite comfy up front and a 6.5 foot bed. Who wouldn't buy that?

I'm not sure they could have done that. It's basically a SUV. You stretch the open area and remove structure, and the unibody fails. That's why it's got the big sail pillars.

The Tacoma and Frontier are the only small trucks left. Everything else is midsize, or, ugh...this.

I don't think I'd even call the Tacoma small anymore.

True, Toyota even calls it a midsize on their site. Actually, Nissan does too, though that may be more marketing. The 2022 is a very similar chassis to the previous one, isn't it?

I don't think the single cab unibody truck is impossible. I had heard Ford were working on something like that for 2022 or 2023.
