Overview & Reviews

For 2001, Hyundai comes to market with its very own sport-utility. The Santa Fe is based on a modified Sonata midsize car platform and is available with either front-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive with either a four-cylinder or V6 engine.

• Relatively inexpensive price, super warranty, roomy interior.

• Unproven reliability, unimpressive four-wheeling capability, underwhelming powertrain performance.

  My Hyundai - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By Grandma - December 27 - 9:10 am

  I love my vehicle. I have not had any trouble with it at all until last month.I have made 3 trips to Texas from Wyoming and never had a problem. I keep up with the changing of the oil and always try to keep at least half a tank full of gas as I never know when I am going to have to go out of town for some reason. I can take most of what I need and still have plenty of room for my little sitzu to go. She has plenty of room to get to her bed. I like the way the windows work. The service men at Underridders in Billings, Mt. do the service work on it as they sell Hyundais however they cant seem to find the trouble I have this time. I hope they can find it soon so I can have my car back.

  smart purchase - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By brenda carraway - July 26 - 3:06 am

  the santa fe has been a good auto investmet. only problem with vehicle is some reocurrig noise in front drive train or suspension, dealer is having hard time trying to find problem. keep replacing parts but does not fix problem. the excellant warrany keeps me from becoming to concerned at this time,but could become more problematic as warranty period lapses. hope to find solution soon. i do enjoy this vehicle and hope to keep it for many years, i am also thinking of puchasing the new hot sonata. happy to own a santa fe.

  This vehicle is the best Ive owned in years, next to my 1972 Monte Carlo. Roomy and user friendly, Id buy another one in a heartbeat.

  By mom in nc - August 11 - 2:00 am

  We have had our Santa Fe for just a week now and we love it. It is roomy enough for our family with two young children and while the gas mileage is not as good as a car, you cant really expect that with any kind of suv. But I can say that we almost bought a Honda Passport last year, we had it for 3 days and we had to fill it up like 4 or 5 times, it was ridiculous! We took it back to the dealer and waited until the time was right to buy another, and Im glad we did! I did alot of research on the internet before we bought and while we have been joked with by family for owning a hyundai, I think it will be a good value

  BEST SUV - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By RASCAL - April 26 - 7:40 pm

  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SUVS ON THE MARKET. IT HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST GROUND CLEARANCE. THE ONLY THING THAT IS HIGHER IS A FORD EXPEDITION AND ONLY BY .5 INCHES. THIS IS ONE FUN SUV TO DRIVE.

  Sante Fe is Excellent - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By silo11 - April 23 - 6:36 am

  We absolutely love our Sante Fe. We have had it over 6 mos. now and have had absolutely no problems with it and we still have people asking where did we get our car cause it is so cool looking. Its reliable, quiet, and probably the most underestimated SUV on the market.

  Unexpected perfection - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By J4k3 - April 22 - 10:00 am

  Best balance of performance, quality and value. Previous SUV was a 92 Explorer XLT (great vehicle, still own it, just getting too old to be a daily driver) and the Santa Fe has performed as well as the Explorer did at the same tasks with additional comfort and economy - for less money!

  Very smooth comfortable ride. Distinctive styling. Very thoughtful design from the cup holders to the sunglass case. Great warrenty with freindly service department.
