With unibody construction, an independent suspension, and a FWD-based platform it clearly lacks the brawn for tough jobs or off-roading, but that’s not what it’s for. The Santa Cruz is targeted at the underserved niche of drivers who want a handy for light work around the city and weekend adventuring .
