Keep reading to find out.
New Transmission on Turbocharged Models
The 2026 Santa Cruz offers two engine options: a standard 2.5-liter I4 (191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque) and an available turbocharged 2.5-liter I4 (281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque). The 2026 Santa Cruz now pairs the turbo engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission, a switch from the dual-clutch automatic transmission found on last year's turbo models.
New Driving Modes for XRT Trim
One reason so many Pearl, MS, drivers love the Santa Cruz is its off-road capability. The XRT trim in particular offers excellent off-roading chops with unique wheels, bumpers, and a tow hitch. For the 2026 model year, the Santa Cruz XRT gets even better at driving off the beaten path thanks to a new trim-specific Terrain Mode. Terrain Mode adds settings for driving in mud, snow, and sand, so you will be ready to hit trails in Mississippi and just about anywhere else in the country.
