What Is New for 2026?

The XRT also gains Terrain Mode with selectable Mud, Snow, and Sand settings. Watertown, MA, shoppers can choose from five trims, two engine options, and available HTRAC all-wheel drive.

Distinctive Sport Adventure Design

The Santa Cruz features a bold grille, sculpted bodywork, integrated LED lighting, and a practical four-foot composite bed.
