The Hyundai Santa Fe is a sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Hyundai since 2000. The car is named after Santa Fe, New Mexico, and was introduced for the 2001 model year as Hyundai’s first SUV. The Santa Fe was successful in the United States and quickly became Hyundai’s best-selling vehicle.

The second-generation Hyundai Santa Fe first went on sale in South Korea in late 2005 and in the United States in 2006. In the United States, the second-generation Santa Fe was offered in GLS, SE, and Limited versions. This generation of the Santa Fe brought back a manual transmission, but only when mated with the 2656 cc (2.656-liter, 162.1-cubic inch) V6 engine. The 3,342 cc (3.342-liter, 203.9-cubic inch) V6 engine was standard in the SE and Limited trim levels and includes a five-speed automatic transmission. This generation’s vehicles include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), side-curtain airbags for all seating rows, a tire pressure monitor, active front head restraints, and anti-lock brakes are standard.

Hyundai vehicles can be identified by the Hyundai emblem, which portrays a bold, italicized ‘H’ inside of an oval. Santa Fe vehicles include the name “Santa Fe” in capital letters without a space between the words and a depiction of a 75-degree slice of the sun.
