Hyundai Motor America sells one-millionth Santa Fe

Since the moment it rocked the automotive world at its introduction in September 2000, Hyundai's Santa Fe has been a powerful player in the crossover segment. That momentum continues, with two all-new models leading the charge to a retail sales growth rate exceeding
40 per cent through June, highlighted by the sale of the one-millionth Santa Fe in the United States.

"When the 2001 Santa Fe launched in the United States 13 years ago, not only was it Hyundai's first SUV, but it was one of the first compact crossovers on the market - just behind Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV," said John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "It was a bold move that paid off and helped position Hyundai as a brand that could innovate in design and package, not just value and warranty."

"Santa Fe has played a significant role in Hyundai's success and growth in the United States," Krafcik adds. "For many loyal Hyundai owners today, it was their entry point to the brand."
