Hyundai — Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a mid-size crossover SUV, first introduced in 2001 by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. It holds a significant place in the company's history, credited as a success story that helped solidify Hyundai's presence in the North American market during the late 1990s. Originally named after the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Santa Fe has since evolved through four generations, transitioning from a more traditional SUV design to the sleeker crossover utility vehicle consumers see today. Throughout its iterations, it has garnered a reputation for offering a compelling blend of comfort, practicality, safety features, and increasingly, fuel efficiency with the addition of hybrid powertrains.

Generations
Pioneering Debut (2001-2006): Introduced as Hyundai's first SUV, the Santa Fe played a pivotal role in establishing the brand within the North American SUV market during the late 1990s.

Refinement and Efficiency (2013-2018): The third generation (2013-2018) witnessed the Santa Fe evolve into a more refined crossover SUV. Interior quality improved significantly, and features like heated and ventilated seats became available. Fuel efficiency became a bigger focus, with four-cylinder engines becoming more prominent.
Modern Appeal and Electrification (2019-2023): The fourth-generation Santa Fe embraces a sleeker, more modern design language. Technology took center stage, with advanced driver-assistance features becoming widely available. Notably, this generation introduced a hybrid powertrain option, catering to eco-conscious buyers.
