It comes with either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive options and is named after the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Introduced in 2001, the Santa Fe marked Hyundai's entry into the SUV market and quickly became a hit with American consumers. Between 2006 and 2012, the Santa Fe was positioned between Hyundai's smaller Tucson compact crossover and the larger Veracruz. It played a significant role in the company's restructuring efforts in the late 1990s, contributing to its success in the American market.
