When two different drivers share the Canyon, the optional memory seats and mirrors make it convenient for both. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position and outside mirror angle. The Santa Cruz doesn’t offer a memory system.
The Canyon’s optional easy entry system glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Santa Cruz doesn’t offer an easy entry system.
The Canyon’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Santa Cruz does not have an oil pressure gauge.
The Canyon offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Santa Cruz doesn’t offer a heads-up display.
The Canyon’s front and rear power windows all lower with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Santa Cruz’s standard power windows’ passenger windows don’t open automatically. The Santa Cruz SEL/SEL Premium/Night/Limited’s rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to lower them fully.
The Canyon’s LED headlights produce a whiter, brighter light (up to 3x) using five times less power than the Santa Cruz’s standard halogen headlights. LED lights also light instantly and last over twenty times longer than halogen.
The Canyon offers an optional center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable and it can provide a boundary between children. The Santa Cruz doesn’t offer a rear seat center armrest.
Both the Canyon and the Santa Cruz offer rear vents. For greater rear passenger comfort, the Canyon has standard rear air conditioning vents to keep rear occupants cool in summer or warm in winter. The Santa Cruz doesn’t offer rear air conditioning vents, only heat vents.
