Hyundai Santa Cruz compact pickup confirmed

The Hyundai Santa Cruz compact pickup was confirmed for production today, perhaps in an effort to get ahead of next week's L.A. Auto Show news wave. Hyundai also announced its first truck for the North American market will be built, starting in 2021, in its assembly plant in Montgomery, Ala. Doing so will require a $410 million expansion of the facility, which currently builds the Sonata and Elantra. In the present political climate, Hyundai was keen to note that the project "will add 1,200 new direct and indirect jobs."
