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.

  Best Ever Owned - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By S. Whitmer - July 9 - 10:23 am

  Easily the best SUV on the market for the price. Have owned for 4+ years, no problems. Get 24+ MPG combined w/ V6. Solid build quality, easy to maintain. Hyundai builds to Lexus quality at 1/2 the price.

  If they made the stereo buttons bigger.. - 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
  By PeterNorthern - March 22 - 10:00 am

  Then I would have given this a 10 on the interior design. Those buttons are smaller than an ants nose, and the buttons work in a very non-intuitive way. Other than that and a couple of minor quibbles (see below), its great. This is the "other" car, with our main family vehicle being an Explorer. The Santa Fe is exactly what we wanted it to be.

  Next to a B210 (Datsun) I drove for years, this car is built to last! I cant say enough about it.
