Hyundai Sells One-Millionth Santa Fe

2013 Hyundai Santa FeHyundai got to end July on a high note with the announcement that they had officially sold their one-millionth Santa Fe.

John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America, announced the one-millionth sale on Wednesday. Krafcik praised the Santa Fe as being integral to Hyundai’s overall success in the United States, stating, “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. 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.”

Since its introduction, the Santa Fe has been well liked by drivers and critics alike. The Santa Fe received the 2013 ALG Residual Value Award, and Autobytel named the 2013 Santa Fe as their Crossover/Wagon of the Year. The Santa Fe’s success is also good for American jobs. Hyundai produces the Santa Fe at a factory in West Point, Georgia, creating thousands of jobs for the region.
